First Wash Cycle Without Laundry
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 oJJon
it (including cooking oils).
Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to
persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before
operating this appliance.
The following is a guide to using your washer. Please refer to
specific sections of this manual for more detailed information.
Do not store laundry products on the top surface of this washer.
Vibration is normal during operation.
Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package for this type
of detergent will be marked "HE" or "High Efficiency." This wash
system, along with less water, will create too much sudsing with a
regular non-HE detergent. Using regular detergent will likely result in
washer errors, longer cycle times, and reduced rinsing performance.
It may also result in component failures and noticeable mold or
mildew. HE detergents are made to produce the right amount of suds
for the best performance. Follow the manufacturer's instructions
to determine the amount of detergent to use. Remember,
concentrated detergent such as 2x or higher will use less detergent
based on load size.
Before washing clothes for the first time, if not completed during
the final installation step, choose the Normal/Casual cycle and
run it without clothes. Use only HE High Efficiency detergent. Use
_/2the manufacturer's recommended amount for a medium-size
load. This initial cycle serves to ensure the interior is clean before
washing clothes.
For All Wash Cycles
1. Open the washer door by pulling on the handle. Sort laundry
according to color and type of fabric. Place a load of sorted
clothes in the washer. Do not overload washer. Overloading
can cause poor cleaning.
[] The washer can be fully loaded, but not tightly packed.
Washer door should close easily.
[] Mix large and small items and avoid washing single items.
