Add single-dose laundry packets, Oxi-type boosters,
color-safe bleach, or fabric softener crystals can be
added to the drum prior to adding laundry.
NOTE: Always follow manufacturer’s instructions.
Using Your Washer
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.
IMPORTANT:
n Empty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small
object can plug pumps and may require a service call.
n Close zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings and sashes, and
remove non-washable trim and ornaments.
n Mend rips and tears to avoid further damage to items
during washing.
1. Sort and prepare your laundry
First wash cycle without laundry
Before washing clothes for the first time, add liquid or powdered
HE detergent to the detergent dispenser. Choose the QUICK
WASH cycle and run it without clothes. Use only HE detergent.
This initial cycle serves to ensure the interior is clean and the
dispenser drawer is ready for use before washing clothes.
n 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.
n Do not dry garments if stains remain after washing, because
heat can set stains into fabric.
n Always read and follow fabric care labels and laundry
product instructions. Improper usage may cause damage
to your garments.
