USING YOUR WASHER

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

1. Sort and prepare your laundry

•Empty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small object can pass under the agitator 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, because heat can set stains into fabric.

•Treat stains promptly.

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

•Use mesh garment bags to help avoid 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 label instructions to avoid damage to your garments.

2.

Add laundry products

Add a measured of amount of detergent or single-dose laundry packet into the basket.

If using Oxi-type boosters, color-safe bleach, or fabric softener crystals, add to the bottom of the washer basket before adding clothes.

NOTE: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to determine the amount of laundry products to use.

Top Loading Washer Use and Care Guide specifications

Whirlpool Top Loading Washers are designed to deliver convenience, efficiency, and an array of advanced features for effective laundry care. This use and care guide offers insights into the main features, technologies, and characteristics that define these innovative appliances.

One of the standout features of Whirlpool Top Loading Washers is their innovative Agitator or Impeller design, which ensures thorough cleaning while being gentle on fabrics. The Agitator provides a robust washing action, while the Impeller offers a more gentle yet effective approach for larger loads. This design maximizes the washing efficiency, reducing the time spent on laundry without compromising cleanliness.

Another essential aspect of Whirlpool's washing machines is their adaptive wash technology. This feature automatically senses the size of the load and adjusts the water level and wash actions accordingly. By optimizing water usage, this technology not only conserves resources but also enhances overall performance. Additionally, many models come with a variety of wash cycles tailored to different fabric types and soil levels, ensuring your laundry receives the specific care it needs.

Whirlpool also invests in reducing noise levels during operation. Many top-loading washers incorporate quiet wash technology, providing a quieter laundry experience, which is perfect for homes where laundry appliances are located near living areas. This emphasis on quiet operation is complemented by energy-efficient designs that help reduce utility bills while maintaining strong cleaning capabilities.

In terms of user convenience, Whirlpool’s intuitive control panels make it easy to select wash cycles, adjust settings, and access features like Delay Start. This allows users to set their wash cycles to start at a more convenient time, accommodating busy schedules.

To maintain the longevity of your Whirlpool Top Loading Washer, regular care and cleaning are essential. The use of a washer cleaner every few months helps prevent odors, and routine checks for debris in the drum and detergent dispenser will enhance performance.

Overall, Whirlpool Top Loading Washers feature a blend of advanced technology, effective cleaning mechanisms, and user-friendly designs, making them a reliable choice for households. Understanding and utilizing these capabilities will not only improve laundry outcomes but also extend the lifespan of the appliance. With proper use and care, your Whirlpool washer can be a valuable asset to your home laundry routine.
