before washing.
Mend rips and broken threads in seams before washing.
Fabric damage can occur if load is
tightly packed.
Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the basket wall.
Load with dry items only.
Use cycle designed for the fabrics being washed.
Use Deep Water Wash option for higher water fill. See “What’s
New under the Lid” and “Cycle Guide” to match your load with
the best cycle.
Add only 1 or 2 additional garments after washer has started.
Liquid chlorine bleach may have
been added incorrectly.
Do not pour liquid chlorine bleach directly onto load. Wipe up
bleach spills.
Undiluted bleach will damage fabrics. Do not use more than
recommended by manufacturer.
Do not place load items on top of bleach dispenser when
