HOW TO OPERATE
8
• Close zippers, snaps, and hooks to avoid
snagging other items.
Remove pins, buckles, and other hard
objects to avoid scratching the washer
interior.
• Empty pockets and turn them inside out.
• Turn down cuffs and turn synthetic knits
out to avoid pilling.
• Tie strings and sashes so they will not
tangle.
• Treat spoats and stains.
(see “Special Guides for Removing stains”
on page)
Preparing clothes for washing
• Drop items into washer loosely. Items
should move easily through wash water for
best cleaning and wrinkle-free results.
• Load washer properly and select correct
load size setting.
Overloading and selecting a setting too
small for the wash load can:
- cause poor cleaning
- increase wrinkling
- create excessive lint
- wear out items faster (because of pilling)
• Mix large and small items in each load.
Load evenly to maintain washer balance.
An off balance load can make the washer
vibrate during spin.
• Reduce wash time when using a small load
size setting. Loads with only a few small
items need less wash time.
• Use a large load size setting to reduce
wrinkling with permanent press clothes and
some synthetic knits. These items should
have more room to move in the water than
heavy items (towels, jeans)
Loading
• Separate heavily soiled items from, lightly soiled ones, even if they would normally be
washed together.
• Separate dark colors from light colors, colorfast items from non-colorfast item.
