See "Using Your Washer" section.
Select a cycle with a slower wash action and spin speed;
however, items will be wetter than those using a higher speed spin.
Use Bulky/Sheets cycle for higher water fill, or set Water Level knob
to Deep Water Wash setting. See the "Cycle Guide" to match your
load with the best cycle.
NOTE: Deep Water Wash is not available in the Normal cycle mode.
Selecting the Normal cycle with the Deep Water Wash setting will
result in auto sensing of the water level.
Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the basket wall.
Reduce tangling by mixing types of load items. Use the
recommended cycle for the type of garments being washed.
Washer senses load size and adds correct amount of water.
This is normal and necessary for clothes to move. It is normal
for the wash load to be not completely covered in water.
Extra water, added manually, results in less effective cleaning.
Washer is less efficient at cleaning when load is tightly packed.
Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the basket wall.
Load with dry items only.
Add only one or two additional garments after washer has started.
Add detergent, Oxi products, and color-safe bleach to the
bottom of the basket before adding the load items.
The suds from regular detergent can keep washer from operating
correctly.
Use only HE detergent. Be sure to measure correctly.
Always measure detergent and follow manufacturer's directions
based on load size and soil level.
Use a higher soil level cycle option and warmer wash temp
to improve cleaning.
Use PowerWash cycle for tough cleaning. See the "Cycle Guide"
to match your load with the best cycle.
Use dispensers to avoid chlorine bleach and fabric
softener staining.
Load dispensers before starting a cycle.
Avoid overfilling.
Do not add products directly onto load.
Wash like colors together and remove promptly after the cycle
is complete to avoid dye transfer.
Load dispensers before starting a cycle.
