Using Your Washer - Kenmore 110.2513*410 Use & Care Manual

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, 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/Bedding 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 items.

USING YOUR WASHER

2.
Add laundry products
Add a measured amount of HE detergent or
single-dose laundry packet into the basket.
If using Oxi-type boosters, color-safe
bleach, or fabric softener crystals, add
to the bottom of the washer basket
before adding clothes.
IMPORTANT: Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package
will be marked "HE" or "High Efficiency." Low-water washing
creates excessive sudsing with a regular non-HE detergent.
Using regular detergent will likely result in 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.
NOTE: Follow the manufacturer's instructions to determine the
amount of laundry products to use.
