USING YOUR WASHER

1. Sort and prepare your laundry

2. Load laundry into washer

•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, 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. See “Cycle Guide” for tips and more information on using the Bulky cycle.

•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 labels instructions to avoid damage to your garments.

Load garments in loose heaps evenly around basket wall.

Do not wrap large items such as sheets around the washplate; load them in loose piles around the sides of the basket.

Try mixing different sized items to reduce tangling.

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