Using Your Washer - Kenmore 110.20372710 Use & Care Manual

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 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. See "Cycle Guide" for tips and more information
on using the Bulky/Bedding cycle.
• Use mesh bags to help prevent 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 items.

USING YOUR WASHER

2.
Single-dose laundry packet, color-safe bleach, or fabric
softener crystals can be added to the basket prior to adding
laundry.
NOTE: Do not add clothes to washer basket prior to adding
laundry products. Always follow manufacturer's instructions.
3.
Load garments in loose heaps evenly around
basket wall. For best results, do not pack the
load tightly. Do not wrap large items such as
sheets around the agitator; load them in loose
piles around the sides of the basket. Try mixing
different sized items to reduce tangling.
IMPORTANT: Do not tightly pack or force items into washer.
Items need to move freely for best cleaning and to reduce
wrinkling and tangling.
