Starting Your Washer

First Wash Cycle Without Laundry
Before washing clothes for the first time, choose the Normal/
Casual cycle and run it without clothes. Use only HE High
Efficiency detergent. Use ½ the manufacturer's recommended
amount for a medium sized load. This initial cycle serves to
ensure the interior is clean before washing clothes.
