fabric produces lint (terry cloth, chenille) or collects lint
(velveteen, corduroy).
Proper Use of Detergent
Add detergent before adding items so that the
detergent can work effectively. Using too little or
too much detergent is a common cause of laundry
problems.
Forspots, apply pre-treutment to items as
recommended on the product label. Application should
be made in the basket to prevent overspray which may
cause the coloring on the lid or graphics to fade.
You can use less detergent if you have soft water, a
smaller load or a lightly soiled load.
When using high efficiency or concentrated
detergents, consult the product label to determine
amount required for optimum performance. Excessive
detergent will negatively impact wash performance.

results, load items evenly and loosely around the
outside of the basket. To add items after washer has
started, lift the lid and submerge additional items
around the outside of the basket.
