STEP 3 Use a laundry net
• Brassieres (machine washable) must be placed in a laundry net. Metal parts of the brassieres may break
through and tear other laundry items.
• Small, light clothing such as socks, gloves, stockings, and handkerchiefs may become caught around the
door. Place them inside a fine laundry net.
• Do not wash the laundry net by itself without other laundry. This may cause abnormal vibrations that
could move the washer and result in injury.
STEP 4 Prewash (if necessary)
Select the Prewash option for the selected cycle if the laundry is heavily soiled.
Do not use the Prewash option when detergent is manually added into the drum.
STEP 5 Determine the load capacity
Do not overload the washer. Overloading may cause the washer to not wash properly.
NOTE
When washing bedding or bedding covers, the wash time may be lengthened or the spin efficiency may be
reduced.
For bedding or bedding covers, the recommended maximum spin level is "Low or Medium Spin", and the
load capacity is 7 lb (3.0 kg) or less.
CAUTION
• Unbalanced laundry may reduce the spinning performance.
• Make sure the laundry is fully inserted in the drum and not caught in the door.
• Do not slam the door. Close the door gently. Otherwise, the door may not be closed properly.
STEP 6 Add the correct detergent type
The type of detergent you use - general purpose, specifically for woolens, etc. - depends on the type of
fabric (cotton, synthetic, delicate items, wool), color, wash temperature, and degree of soiling. Regardless
of the specific type of detergent you use, always use "low suds" HE laundry detergent which is designed for
automatic washers.
NOTE
• Follow the detergent manufacturer's recommendations based on the weight of the laundry, the degree
of soiling, and the hardness of the water in your local area. If you are not sure about the water hardness,
contact your local water authority.
• Do not use detergent that tends to harden or solidify. This detergent may remain after the rinse cycle,
blocking the drain outlet.
CAUTION
When washing wool using the WOOL cycle, use only a neutral liquid detergent. Powdered detergent used
with the WOOL cycle can remain on the laundry and discolor it.
