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.

■ The washer will not start or fill with the lid open.
