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 items by recommended cycle, water temperature,
and colorfastness.
• Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled.
• 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 waterproof 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.
• For best performance, heavier Items like jeans, towels, and
blankets should be placed in first so they are at the bottom
of the mixed load.
NOTE: Always read and follow fabric care label instructions
to avoid damage to your garments.

Add laundry products
IMPORTANT: Add a measured amount of 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.
If using liquid chlorine bleach (optional), manually add
product to wash water.
Do not overfill, dilute, or use more than 1 cup (236 mL)
of liquid chlorine bleach. Do not use color-safe bleach or
Oxi products in the same cycle with liquid chlorine bleach.
NOTE: Follow the manufacturer's instructions to determine
the amount of laundry products to use. Manufacturer
suggests using HE detergent.
