Load Size Recommendations

For best results, follow the load size recommendations noted for each cycle.

Small load: Fill the washer drum with 3-4 items, not more than 1/4 full.

Medium load: Fill the washer drum up to about 1/2 full.

Large load: Fill the washer drum up to about 3/4 full.

Extra-large load: Fill the washer drum, but make sure clothes can tumble freely.

For best results, avoid packing tightly.

USING YOUR WASHER

Choosing the Right Detergent

Use only High Efciency detergents. The package will be marked “HE” or “High Efciency.” Low-water washing creates excessive sudsing with a regular non-HE detergent. Using regular detergent will likely result in longer cycle times and reduced rinsing performance. It may also result in component failure and, over time, build-up of mold or mildew. HE detergents are made to produce the right amount of suds for the best performance. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to determine the amount of detergent to use.

Use only High Efciency (HE) detergent.

First wash cycle without laundry

Before washing clothes for the rst time, if not completed during the nal installation step, choose the QUICK WASH cycle and run it without clothes. Use only HE detergent. Use 1/2 the manufacturer’s recommended amount for a medium-size load. This initial cycle serves to ensure the interior is clean before washing clothes.

1. Sort and prepare your laundry

IMPORTANT:

n Empty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small object

can plug pumps and may require a service call.

n Close zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings and sashes, and

remove non-washable trim and ornaments.

n Mend rips and tears to avoid further damage to items

during washing.

n Turn knits inside out to prevent pilling. Separate lint-takers

from lint-givers. Synthetics, knits, and corduroy fabrics will pick up lint from towels, rugs, and chenille fabrics.

n Do not dry garments if stains remain after washing, because

heat can set stains into fabric.

n Always read and follow fabric care labels and laundry

product instructions. Improper usage may cause damage to your garments.

2. Load laundry into washer

Sort items by recommended cycle, water temperature, and colorfastness. Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled. Separate delicate items from sturdy fabrics. Treat stains promptly and check for colorfastness by testing stain remover products on an inside seam.

Open the washer door. Place a load of sorted clothes loosely in the washer. Items need to move freely for best cleaning and to reduce wrinkling and tangling. Close the washer door by pushing it rmly until the latch clicks.

n Depending on load type and cycle, the washer can be fully

loaded, but not tightly packed. Washer door should close easily. See “Cycle Guide” for loading suggestions.

n Mix large and small items and avoid washing single items.

Load evenly.

n Wash small items in mesh garment bags. For multiple items,

use more than one bag and ll bags equally.
