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 wash drum.

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

NOTE: High efficiency (HE) detergents are designed especially for frontload washers to reduce oversudsing and maximize cleaning results.

Look for the HE logo or “high efficiency” on the detergent’s label.

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

3.Load clothes into wash drum. Refer to section on Load Sizes.

NOTE: Small items such as baby socks may get caught around the door. Place these articles inside a mesh garment bag.
