Operating Your Washer

BEFORE USING YOUR WASHER

Read these important instructions in this section of the Use and Care Guide before operating your washer.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS in this Use and Care Guide before operating your washer.

OPERATING YOUR WASHER

1.Sort laundry into loads that can be washed together.

Sort items by recommended cycle and water temperature.

Separate white, light and colorfast items from dark and non-colorfast items.

Separate items that shed lint from items that attract lint. Casual, synthetic, knit, and cordu- roy items will pick up lint from towels, rugs, and bedspreads.

Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled items.

Separate lacy, sheer, loosely knit, or delicate items from durable items.

Do not machine wash items containing fiber- glass. Small particles of fiberglass left in the drum may transfer to fabrics in other loads and cause skin irritation or damage to fabrics.

2. Prepare items for washing.

Empty pockets.

Brush off lint and dirt. Shake out rugs and beach towels.

Close zippers, fasten hooks, button buttons, tie strings and sashes, and remove non-wash- able trims and ornaments.

Mend rips and tears to prevent further damage during washing.

Turn knit items inside out to prevent pilling.

Place delicate and small items such as bras, hosiery and baby socks in a mesh bag.
