Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto clothes or into the wash
basket.

FAQ
Q:
What is the difference between Heavy and Light settings?
A:
For Whites and Colors, the wash agitation time is increased by 6 minutes and for Permanent
Press, by 12 minutes. (Times are approximate)
Q:
What is the difference between Regular and Pulsed?
A:
Regular means the washer will continuously agitate during the wash cycle. Pulsed provides a
more gentle wash cycle by including pause periods during the wash cycle.
Q:
Which cycle is best for heavily soiled items?
A: Whites or Colors cycles have the greatest wash intensity. This cycle provides the best overall
cleaning . Permanent Press should be used for wrinkle-free and permanent press items.
Q:
How can I reduce linting?
A:
Sort wash loads by fabric type and whether they collect lint (velveteen, corduroy) or produce
lint (terry cloth, chenille). Wash small loads for a shorter amount of time.
Q:
How much detergent do I use?
A:
For best performance, always follow the detergent manufacturer’s instructions on usage.
Many detergents are concentrated, so consult the product label and follow the clearly
marked lines on the detergent measuring cups. Excessive detergent can negatively impact
the wash performance.
