Ensure that the drain hose is not kinked.
Make sure that the drain hose is no higher than 8 ft.
above the bottom of the washer and is no more than
i5 ft. away from the washer.
Heavier soils and tougher stains may require extra
i cieaning power. Select the Soak or Stain Care feature
i to boost the cleaning power of the selected cycle.
Articles that have previously been washed may have
stains that have been set. These stains may be dif-
i ficult to remove and may require hand washing or pre-
i treating to aid in stain removal.
Make sure that the bleach cover is properly installed
land snapped into place before the beginning of the
cycle.
i Lift out the bleach dispenser cover and clean out the
reservoir. Lint and other foreign debris that collects in
i the inside the dispenser may prevent proper dispens-
i ing of the bleach.
You cannot store bleach in the dispenser for future
use. The bleach will be dispensed every load.
i Overfilling the bleach dispenser will cause the bleach
i to dispense immediately, which will damage items in
Ithe tub. ALWAYS measure bleach, but never fill above
ithe MAX line on the dispenser. One cup of bleach is
normal, but never add more than one cup.
Make sure that detergent and additives are put into
ithe correct dispenser compartments. If liquid deter-
igent is used, make sure that the liquid detergent cup
i and insert are in the detergent compartment. If pow-
i dered detergent is used, make sure that the liquid de-
tergent cup and insert are not used. For all detergent
types, always make sure that the dispenser drawer is
i fully closed before the start of the cycle.
Make sure that the suggested amount of detergent is
i used per the manufacturer's recommendations. You
i may also dilute the detergent with water to the maxi-
mum fill line on the compartment to avoid clogging.
i Use only HE (High- Efficiency) detergent.
NOTE: Always use as little detergent as possible.
i High-Efficiency washers need very little detergent to
i achieve optimum results. Using too much detergent
i will cause poor wash and rinse performance and may
contribute to odors in washer.
Make sure that both hot and cold water faucets are
turned on all the way.
i lt is normal for a small amount of detergent to remain
i in the dispenser. If this residue builds up it can inter-
fere with normal dispensing of products. Refer to the
j cleaning instructions.
Check all fill and drain hose connections to ensure
that they are tight and secure.
