Using Your Washer - Whirlpool CABRIO W10280475C Use And Care Manual

USING YOUR WASHER

1.
Sort and prepare your laundry
• Empty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small object
can pass under the washplate 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. See "Cycle Guide" for tips and more information on
using the Bulky Items cycle.
• 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.
Always read and follow fabric care label instructions to avoid
damage to your garments.
2.
Load laundry into washer
Load garments in loose heaps evenly around basket wall.
Do not wrap large items such as sheets around the washplate;
load them in loose piles around the sides of the basket. Try
mixing different sized items to reduce tangling.
IMPORTANT:
Items need to move freely for best cleaning and
to reduce wrinkling and tangling.
