Using Your Washer - Whirlpool Cabrio Use & 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 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:
• When washing water-proof or water-resistant items, load
evenly.
• Use mesh 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.
NOTE: Always read and follow fabric care labels instructions
to avoid damage to your items.

2.
Add laundry products
Single-dose laundry packet, color-safe bleach, or fabric
softener crystals can be added to the basket prior to
adding laundry.
NOTE: Always follow manufacturer's instructions.
3.
Load laundry into washer
For best performance, load items in
loose heaps evenly around the
washplate. Try mixing different sized
items to reduce tangling.
IMPORTANT: Items need to move freely
for best cleaning and to reduce wrinkling and tangling.
