Normal Sounds
Your new washer may make sounds your old one didn't. Because
the sounds might be unfamiliar, you may be concerned about
them. These sounds are normal.
During drain
If water is drained quickly from your washer (depending on your
installation), you may hear air being pulled through the pump
during the end of draining.
After drain and before spin
When the cycle changes from draining to spinning, you may hear
gears engaging.
LAUNDRY TIPS
Preparing clothes for washing
Follow these recommendations to help you prolong the life of
your garments.
■
Close zippers, snaps, and hooks to avoid snagging other
items. Remove pins, buckles, and other hard objects to avoid
scratching the washer interior. Remove non-washable trim
and ornaments.
■
Empty pockets and turn them inside-out.
■
Turn down cuffs; brush away lint and dirt.
■
Turn synthetic knits inside-out to avoid pilling.
■
Tie strings and sashes so they will not tangle.
■
Mend tears, loose hems, and seams.
■
Treat spots and stains.
■
Stained or wet garments should be washed promptly for best
results.
Sorting
■
Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled ones, even if
they would normally be washed together. Separate lint-givers
(towels, chenille) from lint-takers (corduroy, synthetics,
permanent press). When possible, turn lint-givers inside-out.
■
Separate dark colors from light colors, colorfast items from
noncolorfast items.
■
Sort by fabric and construction (sturdy cottons, knits,
delicate items).
Unloading
■
Remove clothes from washer after the cycle is completed.
Metal objects such as zippers, snaps, and buckles may rust
if left in the washer basket for a long time.
