Closing the Top Lid
For safety purposes, the top lid must always be closed during the wash process. If you open the top lid while the wash cycle is in progress, you will observe the following:
• An alarm will sound.
• The tub will not spin while the lid is open.
• If the unit is in wash mode, it will stop running. Simply close the top lid and press the start/pause button to resume the cycle.
Loading the Washer
• Load each item loosely.
•Separate the white from the colored clothing. Separate heavy fabrics from light fabrics.
•Carefully check all pockets and cuffs for foreign items. They can easily slide
into the tub and cause damage to the tub and/or make disturbing noises during cycles.
•
•Do not overload your washer.
•Close the door or top lid properly after loading the clothes.
•When loading wet items, keep water level high enough to keep the unit in
balance and to allow clothing to float easily in the water.
Proper Use of Detergent
•Fill water in the tub at the “Low” water level.
•Add the detergent.
•Load the washer.
•Select the water level.
Note: The amount of detergent used depends on the size of the load, the water type (hard or soft) and whether the clothes are heavily soiled or lightly soiled. Besides the performance of the washing machine, the quality of the detergent also affects the wash result. For best results, use low sudsing detergents only. Refer to the detergent manufacturer’s recommended amount for usage.
Proper Use of Bleach
Refer to the bleach manufacturer’s chart for the recommended use of liquid bleach. Dilute the bleach and add it to the water before putting clothes into the washtub.
Warning! Be careful not to spill undiluted bleach onto the washer cabinet or onto clothing. It is a strong chemical that may damage your clothes and the finish of the washer if not properly diluted.
