Operation

Before Washing

Prepare Wash Load

Empty Pockets and Cuffs

Make sure all pockets are empty and turn them inside out.

One bobby pin, metal or plastic toy, nail or sharp object in a

load can catch laundry, cause tears and plug the pump. Facial

tissue left in a pocket will produce extreme “lint”. A crayon or

lipstick in a wash load may cause stains that cannot be re-

moved. Roll down cuffs and shake out grass, sand and gravel.

Mend Rips and Tears

Little holes can become bigger in the washer. Mend holes and

tears before placing garments in the washer.

Close Zipper and Fasten Hooks

These can catch on garments in a wash load and tear them.

Tie belts and sashes so they won’t wind around clothes.

Put Small Items in Bag

Small items such as baby socks may get stuck around the

door. Put them inside a mesh garment bag.

Check For Colorfastness

Squeeze a portion of garment in warm or hot sudsy water. If

the color bleeds or runs, wash the item separately in cold wa-

ter.

Sort Items

Different items use different wash cycles and temperatures.

Always follow the manufacturer’s care label. Proper sorting is

easy if you follow a few guidelines:

1. Sort by Color: Separate items into loads of whites, darks,

lights and non-colorfast.

2. Sort by Fabric and Construction: Separate items into loads

of cottons/linens, permanent press, synthetics/blends/

poly knits, and delicates.

3. Sort by Temperature: Separate items into loads that can be

washed in cold, warm or hot water.

4. Sort by Type and Amount of Soil: Heavily soiled clothes will

need extra treatment. Lightly soiled clothes can become

dingy if washed with heavily soiled items.

5. Sort Lint “Shedders” From Lint “Receivers”: Some fabrics

attract lint and should not be washed with lint-shedding

loads. Lint shedders are cottons, terry towels, chenille bed-

spreads, rugs and clothes that have been heavily bleached.

Lint receivers are synthetics, permanent or durable press,

knits (including socks), corduroy, and other smooth fabrics.

Pretreat

Pretreat shirt collars and cuffs with a pretreat product or liquid

detergent when placing them in the washer. Before washing,

treat special stains individually.

WARNING

Do not wash or dry items soiled with vegetable or

cooking oils. Some oils may remain after washing

and may cause the fabric to catch on fire by itself.

Loading the Washer

Load Articles

• Load items by the amount of space they take up, not by

their weight. Mix large and small items in a load to get the

best washing results.

• Load items loosely into the wash drum. The bulk of the

clothes rather than the weight will determine load size.

Bulky Items

• Use the BULKY cycle for bulky items such as blankets and

comforters. The cycle includes gentle agitation to clean

items delicately and thoroughly. The Second Rinse Option

may be selected to ensure complete removal of soap resi-

due. A final spin extracts the moisture at a lower speed to

maintain the load’s balance and minimize wear to the arti-

cles.

Load Sizes

• Load sizes vary. Small and large items should be washed

together to create a balanced load. If washing a large item,

two bath towels should be added to even the load.

• Smaller loads can create an unbalanced condition and

cause premature wear on the washer. Do not hesitate to fill

the entire inner drum of the washer. The load will compress

a great deal when wet. This allows room for proper tum-

bling.

Water Level

• The washer will automatically adjust the water level to the

type and size of the load during any fill.
