Using Your Washer - Amana NTC3500FW 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 washplate 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 items if stains remain after washing; heat
■
can set stains into fabric.
Treat stains promptly.
■
Close zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings, and sashes.
■
Remove non-washable trim and ornaments.
Mend rips and tears to avoid further damage to items
■
during washing.
Helpful Tips:
For best performance, use HE liquid detergent when washing
■
bulky items.
Use mesh 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 items.
2.
Add laundry products
IMPORTANT: If you are using the Compact Dryer Stack Stand
(Part Number 49971), pull the washer forward before lifting
the washer lid.
If you are using liquid laundry detergent, single-dose laundry
packets, color-safe bleach, Oxi-type boosters, or fabric softener
crystals, add to the wash basket prior to adding laundry.
NOTE: Always follow manufacturer's instructions.
3.
Load laundry into washer
For best performance, load items
in loose heaps evenly around the
washplate. Try mixing different-
sized items to reduce tangling.
IMPORTANT: Items need to move
freely for best cleaning and to reduce wrinkling and tangling.
NOTE: The maximum volume is about 1.52 cubic ft. (4.4 lb max.
load size per cubic ft.).
