WASHER USE

STEP 1 - PREPARE AND SORT LAUNDRY

PREPARE LAUNDRY

Check garment labels for manufacturer’s washing instructions.

•

Empty pockets and turn them inside out.

•

Remove loose items (pins, bobby pins, coins, rings, earrings, napkins, etc.) from

•

clothes to prevent scratching of the wash basket or clogging the drain pump.

Turn down cus and remove any lint or dirt.

•

Tie strings and sashes so they don’t tangle.

•

Close zippers, snaps and hooks to avoid snagging.

•

Pretreat all stains and heavily soiled areas.

•

Turn synthetic and wool knits inside out to avoid pilling.

•

SORT LAUNDRY

Sort laundry by the type of wash cycle required (water temperature and wash

•

action). Separate light colors from dark colors and colorfast items from non-colorfast

•

items. Separate heavy duty fabrics from light weight fabrics.

•

Separate fabrics that attract lint from fabrics that give o lint.

•

Separate bulky items such as blankets or pillows.

•

STEP 2 - ADD FABRIC CARE PRODUCTS

ADD DETERGENT

Use only High Eciency detergent. HE detergents are specically

•

formulated with ingredients to avoid problems caused by too

many soap suds. Excess suds will prevent the complete rinsing of

detergent residue from clothes. If you select the Quick cycle, it is recommended that you use a liquid laundry

•

detergent to achieve optimum results. Powdered detergent may not dissolve fast enough to clean well in this cycle.

Determine the amount of detergent. Follow the detergent use instructions on

•

the container.

NOTE: The proper amount of detergent depends on the size of the load, the soil level of the clothes, and the softness of the water being supplied to the washer.

Liquid Detergent

1. Fill washer with a small amount of water and add liquid detergent.

NOTE: For best results, add the detergent to the wash basket before loading

with laundry.

2. Run washer for 30 seconds to dissolve detergent completely.

Powdered Detergent

1. Pour measured powdered detergent

directly into the detergent dispenser.

ADD BLEACH (IF DESIRED)

Pour measured liquid chlorine bleach into the

•

liquid chlorine bleach dispenser.

NOTE: Use only liquid bleach in this dispenser.

IMPORTANT: Be careful not to spill undiluted

bleach onto the washer cabinet or your clothes. Since it is a strong chemical, it may

damage clothes or the nish of the washer.

Follow manufacturer’s directions on garment

•

label for recommended use of liquid or powder bleach.

STEP 3 - LOAD THE WASHER

1. Load garments loosely and evenly around the wash basket.

2. Do not place clothes directly over the center of the pulsator.

3. Close the washer lid.

NOTES:

Do not overload or stu items into the wash basket. Overloading may reduce

•

wash eciency, cause excess wear and possibly cause creasing or wrinkling of

the load. The washer will not pulsate or spin with the lid open.

•

STEP 4 - START THE WASHER

1. Press the POWER button to turn the washer on.

2. Select a wash cycle.

3. Modify the default settings and options if desired.

4. Press the START/PAUSE button to start the wash cycle.
