To Wash Clothes

IMPORTANT: Before using your new washer, make sure the washer cord is plugged into a

120 Volt electrical outlet that has the proper grounding and polarity. Make sure the washer hoses are connected to the hot and cold water faucets, and that the faucets are turned on. Be sure the drain hose is not kinked and is inserted into a drain. Refer to the INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS for details of proper washer installation.

IMPORTANT: Prior to first wash, use an all- purpose cleaner, or a detergent and water solution, and a damp cloth to remove shipping dust from inside of washtub.

IMPORTANT: Remove all sharp objects from laundry to avoid tears and rips to items during normal machine operation.

1. Get the clothes ready for washing. Empty pockets and cuffs. Sort items into separate loads. Pretreat stains and heavily soiled areas.

2. Measure and add low

 

sudsing detergent,

 

fabric softener, and

 

bleach to the

 

dispenser drawer.

 

Refer to section on

IMPORTANT: If using detergents made for topload washers, avoid oversudsing by using 1/4 cup regular detergent (1/2 of the recommended amount).

3. Load clothes into wash drum. Refer to section on Load Sizes in your Use and Care Guide.

5. Set WASH/RINSE temperatures.

CPW162

There are four WASH/RINSE temperatures available — Hot Wash/Cold Rinse, Warm Wash/Cold Rinse, Warm Wash/Warm Rinse, and Cold Wash/Cold Rinse.

Refer to the chart on the following page for the temperature that works best for your garments.

The Hot Wash temperature is determined by the actual temperature of the hot water supplied to the washer. Hot water is the most effective for cleaning, but it is not recommended for all fabric types (read labels).

The Warm Wash is useful for providing a thorough cleaning on lightly soiled clothing without damaging fabric or adding to color fading.

The Warm Rinse is useful in preventing wrinkles on certain fabrics. Check labels for fabric manufacturer’s recommendations.

The Cold Wash is ideal for delicate items. Although its cleaning abilities are not as great as with hot or warm water, it is useful for colors that bleed easily and for sensitive fabrics.

The Cold Rinse is optional in every cycle and is the most beneficial for fabrics. Cold rinses reduce wrinkling and color fading. In addition, cold rinses will save money and energy.

NOTE: The Energy Saver settings, marked with an asterisk (*), show which temperature settings will use the least energy.

NOTE: Always follow manufacturer’s care labels.
