USING YOUR WASHER

Sort and prepare your laundry

• Empty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small object

can pass under the washplate and become trapped, causing

unexpected sounds.

• Sort items by recommended cycle, water temperature,

and colorfastness.

• Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled.

• Separate delicate items from sturdy fabrics.

• Do not dry garments if stains remain after washing, because

heat can set stains into fabric.

• Treat stains promptly.

• 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.

Helpful Tips:

• When washing water-proof or water-resistant items, load

evenly. See "Cycle Guide" for tips and more information on

using the Bulky Items cycle.

• Use mesh garment bags to help avoid tangling when washing

delicate or small items.

• Turn knits inside out to avoid pilling. Separate lint-takers from

lint-givers. Synthetics, knits, and corduroy fabrics will pick up

lint from towels, rugs, and chenille fabrics.

• Heavily soiled or linty loads, as towels, are best washed

separately.

Always read and follow fabric care label instructions to avoid

damage to your garments.

Load laundry into washer

Load garments in loose heaps evenly

around the washplate. Do not load

garments directly over the center

of the washplate; when loaded, the

center of the washplate should be

visible. Try mixing different sized

garments to reduce tangling.

Unbalanced load may affect the wash performance and increase

the water and energy consumption of the washer. When the

washer detects an unbalanced load, it will try to correct it by

filling with more water and agitation to redistribute the load.

IMPORTANT: Garments need to move freely for best cleaning

and to reduce wrinkling and tangling.
