 Operation Instructions for Washers

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to
persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUC-
TIONS before operating this appliance.

W727

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 washer.

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

 Load Laundry

1.   Load items loosely into wash drum. (21 pounds [9.5 kg] max-

imum dry clothes load)

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

Figure 34

2.   When washing bulky items such as blankets and comforters,

use the DELICATE or DELICATES/COLD cycle. The cycle
includes agitation and final spin speeds that maintain the
load’s balance and minimize wear to the articles.

NOTE: Different fabrics will have different densities
and loads must be adjusted accordingly to meet ma-
chine loading specifications shown.

 Close Loading Door

Close loading door tightly. The washer will not operate with
the loading door open.

Figure 35

 Add Laundry Supplies

1.   Open dispenser drawer.
2.   Measure and add low sudsing, high efficiency (HE) detergent

(1), bleach (2) and fabric softener (3) to the dispenser drawer.

IMPORTANT: If using single-load laundry detergent
packets or 3-in-1 laundry sheets, DO NOT place
them in the dispenser drawer. Place them directly in
the wash drum with clothes.

IMPORTANT: If using non-HE detergent, avoid over-
sudsing by using 1/2 of the detergent manufactur-
er’s recommended amount.

3.   Close dispenser drawer.
