Using Your Washer - Whirlpool cabrio Use & Care Manual

Using Your Washer
Fire Hazard
Never place items in the washer that are dampened
with gasoline or other flammable fluids.
No washer can completely remove oil.
Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on
it (including cooking oils).
Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
1, Sort and prepare your laundry
o Empty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small
object can pass under the washptate 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 water-proof 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 tint-takers
from tint-givers. Synthetics, knits, and corduroy fabrics wilt
pick up tint from towels, rugs, and chenille fabrics.
NOTE: Always read and follow fabric care labels instructions
to avoid damage to your items.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
2.
Add laundry products
Single-dose laundry packet, color-safe bleach, Oxi-type
boosters, or fabric softener crystals can be added to the
basket prior to adding laundry.
NOTE: Always follow manufacturer's instructions.
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.
