USING YOUR WASHER

1. Sort and prepare your laundry

2. Add laundry products

•Empty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small object can pass under the agitator 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.

•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 label instructions to avoid damage to your garments.

Add a measured amount of detergent or single-dose laundry packet into the basket before adding clothes. If using Oxi-type boosters, color-safe bleach, or fabric softener crystals, add to the bottom of the washer basket as well.

IMPORTANT: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to determine the amount of laundry products to use.
