• Empty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small
object can pass under the agitator and become trapped,
causing unexpected sounds.
• Sort items by recommended cycle, water temperature,
and colorfastness.
• Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled items.
• 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.
• 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.
NOTE: Always read and follow fabric care label instructions to
avoid damage to your garments.

Sort and prepare your laundry
USING YOUR WASHER
Add a measured of amount of HE detergent or single-dose
laundry packet into the basket.
If using Oxi-type boosters, color-safe bleach, or fabric
softener crystals, add to the bottom of the washer basket
before adding clothes.
IMPORTANT: 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 failures and noticeable mold
or mildew. HE detergents are made to produce the right
amount of suds for the best performance.
NOTE: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to determine
the amount of laundry products to use.
