To Wash Clothes
IMPORTANT: Before using your new washer,
make sure the washer cord is plugged into an
appropriate electrical outlet that has the
proper grounding (earthing) and polarity. Refer
to the washer nameplate and
Installation
Instructions
for proper voltage and Hertz the
washer is designed to operate on. Refer to

section for nameplate
location. Make sure the washer hoses are
connected to the hot and cold water faucets,
and that the faucets are turned on. Be sure the
drain hose is not kinked and is inserted into a
drain. Refer to the INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS for details of proper washer
installation.
IMPORTANT: Prior to first wash, use an all
purpose cleaner, or a detergent and water
solution, and a damp cloth to remove shipping
dust from inside of wash drum.
1. Get the clothes ready for washing. Empty
pockets and cuffs. Sort items into separate
loads. Pretreat stains and heavily soiled areas.
IMPORTANT: Remove all sharp objects from
laundry to avoid tears and rips to items
during normal machine operation.
2. Measure and add
low sudsing, high
efficiency (HE) detergent
, fabric softener
and bleach to the dispenser drawer. Refer to
section on
Using Your Dispenser Drawer
.
Follow instructions on detergent package for
amount to use.
NOTE: High efficiency (HE)
detergents are designed
especially for frontload
washers to reduce oversudsing
and maximize cleaning results.
Look for the HE logo or “high efficiency” on the
detergent’s label.
IMPORTANT: If using non-HE detergent, avoid
oversudsing by using only 1/2 of the detergent
manufacturer's recommended amount.
3. Load clothes into wash drum. (18 pounds
[8.1 kg] maximum dry clothes load.) Refer to
section on
Load Sizes
.
NOTE: Small items such as baby socks may get
caught around the door. Place these articles
inside a mesh garment bag.
