Cycle Details:
USING YOUR WASHER
• Empty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small object
can pass under the washplate 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. See “Cycle Guide” for tips and more information
on using the Bulky cycle.
• 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 labels instructions to
avoid damage to your garments.
1.
Sort and prepare your laundry
Load garments in loose heaps evenly around basket wall.
Do not wrap large items such as sheets around the washplate;
load them in loose piles around the sides of the basket.
Try mixing different sized items to reduce tangling.
IMPORTANT: Items need to move freely for best cleaning and
to reduce wrinkling and tangling.
