Using Your Washer
Fire Hazard
Never place items in the washer that are dampened with gasoline or other flammable fluids.
No washer can completely remove oil. Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on
it (including cooking oils). Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
"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 items. [] 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.
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.
Add laundry products
Add a measured of 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.
NOTE: Follow the manufacturer's instructions to determine the amount of laundry products to use.
6
3, Load laundry into washer
Load garments in loose heaps evenly around basket wall. For best results, do
not pack the load tightly. Do not wrap large items such as sheets around the
agitator; load them in loose piles around the sides of the basket. Try mixing
different-sized items to reduce tangling. IMPORTANT: Do not tightly pack or
force items into washer. Items need to move freely for best cleaning and to reduce wrinkling and tangling.
Add liquid chlorine bleach to dispenser
Add fabric softener to dispenser
(on some models}
Pour a measured amount of liquid fabric softener into dispenser; always follow
manufacturer's directions for correct amount of fabric softener based on your load size.
Dilute liquid fabric softener by filling the dispenser with warm water until liquid reaches
the underside of the rim. See max fill line arrows.
IMPORTANT: Fabric Softener Added option ........
must be selected to One Rinse or 2nd Rinse to ensure proper distribution of the fabric
softener during the final rinse portion of the cycle.
Adding Liquid Fabric Softener Manually to Wash Load
During the final rinse, wait until the washer has completed filling, press the START/PAUSE button to pause the washer.
Lift the lid and add the measured recommended amount of liquid fabric softener. Do not use more than the recommended
amount. Close the lid and press the START/PAUSE button again to start the washer.
Do not overfill, dilute, or use more than 1 cup (250 mL). Do not use color-safe bleach or Oxi products in the same
cycle with liquid chlorine bleach.
