USING YOUR WASHER
Fire Hazard
Never place items in the washer that are dampened
with gasoline or other flammable
fluids.
No washer can completely remove oil.
De not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on
it (including
cooking oils).
Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Choosing
the Right Detergent
Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package will be
marked "HE" or "High Efficiency." Low-water washing creates
excessive sudsing with a regular non-HE detergent. Using regular
detergent will likely result in longer cycle times and reduced
rinsing performance.
It may also result in component failure and,
over time, build-up of 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 High Efficiency (HE) detergent.
First wash cycle without
laundry
Before washing clothes for the first time, if not completed during
the final installation step, choose the QUICK WASH cycle and
run it without clothes. Use only HE detergent. Use 1/2 the
manufacturer's
recommended
amount for a medium-size
load.
This initial cycle serves to ensure the interior is clean before
washing clothes.
1, Sort and prepare your laundry
Sort items by recommended
cycle, water temperature,
and
colorfastness.
Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled.
Separate delicate items from sturdy fabrics. Treat stains
promptly and check for colorfastness
by testing stain remover
products on an inside seam.
8
Electrical
Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
iMPORTANT."
[] Empty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small object
can plug pumps and may require a service call.
[] Close zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings and sashes, and
remove non-washable
trim and ornaments.
[] Mend rips and tears to avoid further damage to items
during washing.
[] Turn knits inside out to prevent pilling. Separate lint-takers
from lint-givers. Synthetics, knits, and corduroy fabrics will
pick up lint from towels, rugs, and chenille fabrics.
[] Do not dry garments if stains remain after washing, because
heat can set stains into fabric.
[] Always read and follow fabric care labels and laundry
product instructions,
improper usage may cause damage
to your garments.
:2, Load laundry into washer
Open the washer door. Place a load of sorted clothes loosely in
the washer. Items need to move freely for best cleaning and to
reduce wrinkling and tangling. Close the washer door by pushing
it firmly until the latch clicks.
[] Depending on load type and cycle, the washer can be fully
loaded, but not tightly packed. Washer door should close
easily. See "Cycle Guide" for loading suggestions.
[] Mix large and small items and avoid washing single items.
Load evenly.
[] Wash small items in mesh garment bags. For multiple items,
use more than one bag and fill bags equally.
