What To Do
• Use warmer water temperature.
• Select the wash temperature according to soil type.
For example, blood and mud are better in cold water,
while oily soils are better in warmer water.
• Brush a little detergent dissolved in water or liquid
detergent or suitable prewash product onto stains,
collars, and cuffs to help shift dirt.
• Wash stains as soon as possible.
The longer they are left the harder to be removed.
• Select load size to match clothes load.
• White clothes are better washed separately.
Separate light and heavily soiled items, as clothes
restained from dirty washed water.
• Various size of load mixture is recommanded
(e.g. full loads of sheets may not wash that well.)
• Detergent for load size or amount of soil is not
enough. Hard water requires more detergent
than soft water.
• While this is not caused by the washer, you
can slow the pilling process by washing
garments inside out.
Use more detergent (especially with larger loads).
Make sure water heater is delivering water at
120˚F.
Select load size to match clothes load.
Sort clothes by color. If fabric label states wash
separately, unstable dyes may be indicated.
This is normal.

Level washer (Refer to page 20.)
Relocate washer (Refer to page 20.)
