See "Using Your Washer" section.
Select a cycle with a slower wash action and spin speed;
however, items will be wetter than those using a higher
speed spin. See the "Cycle Guide" to match your load with the
best cycle.
Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the washplate. Do
not load garments directly over the center of the washplate.
Reduce tangling by mixing types of load items. Use the
recommended cycle for the type of garments being washed.
Washer senses load size and adds correct amount of water.
This is normal and necessary for clothes to move.
Added water lifts the laundry off the washplate, resulting in less
effective cleaning.
Washer is less efficient at cleaning when tightly packed.
Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the washplate.
Load with dry items only.
Add only 1 or 2 garments after washer has started.
Add detergent, oxi products, and color-safe bleach to the
bottom of the basket before adding the load items.
Wash like colors together and remove promptly after the cycle is
complete to avoid dye transfer.
The suds from regular detergent can keep washer from
operating correctly.
Use only HE detergent. Be sure to measure correctly.
Always measure detergent and follow manufacturer's directions
based on load size and soil level.
Use a higher soil level cycle option and warmer wash
temperature to improve cleaning.
If using Quick Wash cycle, wash only a few items.
Use Super Wash and Normal Heavy cycle for tough cleaning.
See the "Cycle Guide" to match your load with the best cycle.
Use dispenser for chlorine bleach and Downy Ball
softener to avoid staining.
Load dispenser before starting a cycle.
Do not add products directly onto load.
Always select Fabric Softener option. Cycles that use spray
rinsing will add additional water for proper fabric softener
dispensing when option is selected.
Use only liquid chlorine bleach in the bleach dispenser.
