Washing A Load Of Laundry - Midea MLH27N5AWWC User's Manual & Installation Instructions

Washing a load of laundry

•
If this is the first time you are washing an item, make sure that it is
color-fast. Use a white rag or towel with a little detergent to wash a
hidden part of the item. If the rag or towel is stained, the item is not
color-fast.
•
If an item has stains, use a spot remover or gently apply a small
amount of detergent to the stains, then gently scrub the stains with a
brush.
•
Check the manufacturer's label for special washing instructions.
•
Make sure that you remove all items from pockets. Hard items, like
coins, can damage your washer.
•
Never wash clothes stained with chemicals such as gasoline,
petroleum, benzene, paint thinner and alcohol.
•
Consider using a pillow case you can close or a washing bag to
protect items like bras, lacy items, and delicate items.
•
Wash whites and colors separately.
•
Turn items that can pill (like sweaters and sweatshirts) inside out.
NOTE:
•
Never leave wet items to be washed in your washer for long periods of
time. Items may mold and cause stains.
•
Make sure that you check the manufacturer's label for water
temperature instructions.
•
Don't wash items, like ties or items with decorations, that may stretch
or distort.
•
Don't wash waterproof items, like rain coats, ski suits, shower curtains,
and mattress pads. These items don't absorb water and may cause
excessive vibration.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before operating this appliance.
1. Select a detergent
Your washer is designed to use high efficiency (HE) detergents.
•
For the best cleaning results, use an HE detergent. We recommend
that you do not use a regular detergent. HE detergents contain
suppressors that reduce or eliminate suds. When fewer suds are
produced, the load tumbles more efficiency and cleaning is maximized.
