USING YOUR WASHER

1.
Sort and prepare your laundry
• 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 water-proof 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.
2.
Add HE detergent
Add a measured amount of HE
detergent into the bottom of the
washer basket before adding clothes.
If using an Oxi or color-safe bleach
laundry boost product, add to the bottom of the washer basket,
as well.
IMPORTANT: Follow the manufacturer's instructions to
determine the amount of detergent to use.
