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 garment 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 garments, 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.

Add detergent
Add a measured amount of detergent into the bottom of the
washer basket before adding clothes. If using an Oxi or
color-safe bleach laundry boost product, add to the bottom
of the washer basket, as well.
IMPORTANT: Follow the manufacturer's instructions to
determine the amount of detergent to use.
