Using Your Washer - Whirlpool W10607375B Guide D'utilisation Et D'entretien

USING YOUR WASHER

1.
Sort and prepare your laundry
• Empty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small object
can pass under the agitator and become trapped, causing
unexpected sounds.
• Sort garments by recommended cycle, water temperature,
and colorfastness.
• Separate heavily soiled garments from lightly soiled.
• Separate delicate garments 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 garments
during washing.
Helpful Tips:
• When washing water-proof or water-resistant items, load
evenly. See "Cycle Guide" for tips and more information on
using the Bulky Items cycle.
• 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 garments.
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
2.
Add laundry products
Add a measured 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.
