7
When the cycle is nished, a melody will sound. Immediately remove your
clothing from the washer to reduce wrinkling. Check around the door seal when
removing the load for small items that may be caught in the seal.
NOTE
• The washer rotates the laundry in a way that allows it to use less water while still fully saturating your clothing.
It is normal to not be able to see water during the wash cycle.
• If the temperature or the water level inside the machine is too high, the door will not unlock when the Start/
Pause button is pressed. To open the door in these circumstances, press Add Garments. To stop a cycle and
drain the water completely, turn the power off, then on, and then press Rinse+Spin.
17OPERATION
Loading the Washer
• Check and empty pockets. Paper clips, coins,
matches, etc. can damage clothing and the washer.
• Close zippers and hooks, and tie drawstrings to
prevent snagging or tangling of clothes.
• Pretreat heavily stained areas for best results.
• Combine large and small items in a load. Load large
items rst. Large items should not be more than half
of total load.
• The washer can be fully loaded, but the drum
should not be tightly packed with items. The door of
the washer must close easily.
• Do not wash single small items. Add 1-2 similar
items to the load to prevent an out-of-balance load.
• Wash thick, bulky items individually. Heavy blankets,
comforters, bedspreads, or pet beds can get
tangled or cause an unbalanced load if combined
with other items.
• Do not wash/spin waterproof items. Washing
raincoats or sleeping bags may result in abnormal
vibration or may cause the load to bounce, which
could damage the drum.
• Wash small, light items in a mesh bag. Items like
underwear can get caught in the door seal, and
a brassiere hook may damage other items or the
drum.
• Brush off heavy soil, dust, and hair from items
before washing. Excess dirt or sand can abrade
other fabrics and lead to poor wash performance.
• For best performance, load clothes as shown.
