Whirlpool WTW8200YW warranty Using Your Washer, Load laundry into washer, Helpful Tips

1. Sort and prepare your laundry

2. Add single-dose laundry packet, Oxi, color-safe bleach, or fabric softener crystals (if desired)

•Empty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small object can pass under the washplate and become trapped, causing unexpected sounds.

•Sort items by recommended cycle, water temperature, and colorfastness.

•Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled.

•Separate delicate items from sturdy fabrics.

•Do not dry garments if stains remain after washing; heat can set stains into fabric.

•Treat stains promptly.

•Close zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings and sashes.

Remove non-washable trim and ornaments.

•Mend rips and tears to avoid further damage to items during washing.

Helpful Tips:

•When washing water-proof or water-resistant items, load evenly. See “Cycle Guide” for tips and more information on using the Bulky Items cycle.

•Use mesh bags to help prevent tangling when washing delicate or small items.

•Turn knits inside out to avoid pilling. Separate lint-takers from lint-givers. Synthetics, knits, and corduroy fabrics will pick up lint from towels, rugs, and chenille fabrics.

NOTE: Always read and follow fabric care labels instructions to avoid damage to your garments.

Single-dose laundry packet, color-safe bleach, Oxi-type boosters, or fabric softener crystals can be added to the basket prior to adding laundry.

NOTE: Do not add clothes to washer basket prior to adding laundry products. Always follow manufacturer’s instructions.

3. Load laundry into washer

Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the washplate. Do not load garments directly over the center

of the washplate; when loaded, the center of the washplate should be

visible. Try mixing different sized garments to reduce tangling.

IMPORTANT: Garments need to move freely for best cleaning and to reduce wrinkling and tangling.
