valve.

• Inlet hose must be attached to both
washing machine and cold water supply
faucet and have water flowing to inlet valve.
• Cold water faucet must be on.
• Inlet valve screen on washing machine
may be clogged.
• Remove any kinks in the inlet hose.
• Always measure detergent and follow
manufacturer's directions based on load
size and soil level.
• Avoid tightly packing the washing
machine. The washing machine will not
rinse well if tightly packed. Load with dry
items only. See "Programme chart" for
load size recommendations for each cycle.
• Use cycle designed for the fabrics
being washed.
• Add only one or two garments after
washing machine has started.
• When load unbalance occurs, a washing
process will start to redistribute the load.
This may lengthen the cycle time. Avoid
washing single items. Balance a single
item such as a rug or jeans jacket with a
few extra items.
• Most cycles allow for the option of
additional rinses.
• Add load loosely. Items need to move
freely to reduce wrinkling and tangling.
See "Programme chart" for load size
recommendations for each cycle.
• Reduce tangling by mixing types of
load items. Use the recommended cycle
for the type of garments being washed.
• Select a lower spin speed. Note that
items will be wetter than when using a
higher spin speed.
• Unload the washing machine as soon
as it stops.
• Choose the "Delicates" What to
Wash cycle selection or another cycle
selection with a low spin speed to
reduce wrinkling.
• Add load loosely. Items need to move
freely for best cleaning. See "Programme
chart" for load size recommendations for
each cycle. Add only one or two garments
after washing machine has started.
• Always measure detergent and follow
manufacturer's directions based on load
size and soil level.
• You may need to install a water
softener and/or iron filter.
• Dispensing balls will not operate
correctly with this washing machine.
Add liquid fabric softener to the 6th
Sense Precision Dose (Dispenser 2).
