Getting started - Washer
Always follow fabric manufacturer's care label when laundering.
Sorting Wash Loads
Sort by color (whites, lights, colors), soil level, fabric type (sturdy cottons, easy care, delicates) and whether the
fabric produces lint (terry cloth, chenille) or collects lint (velveteen, corduroy). Wash lint producers such as cotton
towels and socks separate from lint collectors including synthetic garments and dress pants.
WARNING
DO NOT wash fabrics soiled with flammable liquids or cleaning solvents.
No washer can completely remove oil.
DO NOT wash or dry anything that has been soaked in or spotted with any type of oil (including cooking oils).
Follow all fabric care instructions and warnings to prevent melting of garments or damage to the appliance.
DO NOT reach into the washer until all moving parts have stopped.
Doing so can result in death, explosion, fire or amputation.
Loading the Washer
Load dry items loosely, no higher than the top row of
holes in the washer basket. When loading wet items,
make sure you set the load/water level high enough to
allow the items to move freely. Water level should just
cover the clothes. To add items after washer has started,
lift the lid and submerge additional items next to the
agitator.

Proper Use of Detergent
Using too little or too much detergent is a common cause
of laundry problems.
Use less detergent if you have soft water, a smaller load or
a lightly soiled load.
For spots, apply pre-treatment to items as recommended on
the product label. Application should be made in the basket to
prevent overspray which may cause the coloring on the lid or
graphics to fade.
Place detergent packets in the bottom of the wash basket
before adding clothes.

HE detergents are formulated to work with low water
wash and rinse systems. HE detergents reduce the
oversudsing problems commonly associated with regular
detergents.
When using high efficiency or concentrated detergents,
consult the product label to determine amount required for
