Using Your Washer - Amana NTW4605EW Mode D'emploi

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 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.
NOTE: 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,
re, or electrical shock.
2.
Add laundry products
Add a measured of 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.
