USING YOUR WASHER
1.
Sort and prepare your laundry
■
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 items if stains remain after washing; heat
can set stains into fabric.
■
Treat stains promptly.
■
Close zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings, and sashes.
Remove non-washable trim and ornaments.
■
Mend rips and tears to avoid further damage to items
during washing.
Helpful Tips:
■
For best performance, use HE liquid detergent when washing
bulky items.
■
When washing waterproof or water-resistant items, load
evenly.
■
Use mesh 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 items.
2.
Add laundry products
IMPORTANT:
If you are using the Compact Dryer Stack Stand
(Part Number 49971), pull the washer forward before lifting
the washer lid. Do not permanently install the washer in the
Compact Dryer Stack Stand – doing so will prevent you from
raising the washer lid.
If you are using liquid laundry detergent, single-dose laundry
packets, color-safe bleach, Oxi-type boosters, or fabric softener
crystals, add to the wash basket prior to adding laundry.
NOTE:
Always follow manufacturer’s instructions.
3.
Load laundry into washer
Max
load
level
For best performance, load items
in loose heaps evenly around the
washplate. Try mixing different-
sized items to reduce tangling.
IMPORTANT:
Items need to move
freely for best cleaning and to reduce wrinkling and tangling.
NOTE:
The maximum volume is about 1.52 cubic ft. (4.4 lb max.
load size per cubic ft.).
