USING YOUR WASHER
• 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 items 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.
Always read and follow fabric care label instructions to avoid
damage to your items.

Sort and prepare your laundry
2.
Add laundry products
Load garments in loose heaps evenly
around basket wall. For best results, do
not pack the load tightly. Do not wrap large
items such as sheets around the wash
plate; load them in loose piles around the
sides of the basket. Try mixing different-
sized items to reduce tangling.
IMPORTANT:
Do not tightly pack or force items into washer. Items
need to move freely for best cleaning and to reduce wrinkling and
tangling.
Add single-dose laundry packets, Oxi-type boosters, color-safe
bleach, or fabric-softener crystals to the bottom of the washer
basket before adding clothes.
NOTE:
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to determine the
amount of laundry products to use.
