USING YOUR WASHER
• 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 waterproof 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.

Sort and prepare your laundry
Add a measured of amount of HE detergent or single-dose
laundry packet into the basket.
If using Oxi-type boosters, color-safe bleach, or fabric softener
crystals, add to the bottom of the washer basket before adding
clothes.
IMPORTANT:
Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package
will be marked “HE” or “High Efficiency.” Using regular detergent
will likely result in longer cycle times and reduced rinsing
performance. It may also result in component failures and
noticeable mold or mildew. HE detergents are made to produce
the right amount of suds for the best performance. Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions to determine the amount of detergent
to use.
