Preparing clothes for washing
Follow these recommendations to help you prolong the life of
your garments.
Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package for this
type of detergent will be marked "HE" or "High Efficiency."
This wash system, along with less water, will create too much
sudsing with a regular non-HE detergent. Using regular
detergent will likely result in washer errors, 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. Follow the manufacturer's instructions
to determine the amount of detergent to use.
Use only HE High Efficiency detergent.
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.
