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. ••Do not wash single small items. Add 1-2 similar items to the load to prevent an out-of-balance load. ••Large, bulky items, such as a blanket, or bedspread, should be washed individually in the Main Washer. ••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 tub. ••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 tub. ••The washer will not fill or operate with the lid open. ••Do not overload the tub. Clothes should fit loosely in the tub under the maximum fill line. Loading clothes over the fill line may result in damage to clothing and the washer. - Load clothes loosely, and do not overfill the tub. Clothes need room to circulate in order to get clean. - Do not press down on items while stacking them in the tub. CAUTION ••Close the lid until it clicks before sliding the drawer in to begin the cycle. ••Press to open the lid. Do not force the lid of the washer open. Doing so may damage the appliance. OPERATION 23 Adding Cleaning Products Detergent Use This washer is designed for use with only HE (HighEfficiency) detergents. HE detergents produce fewer suds, dissolve more efficiently to improve washing and rinsing performance, and help to keep the interior of the washer clean. Using detergent that is not HE may cause oversudsing and unsatisfactory performance which could result in error codes, cycle failure, and machine damage. Designed specially to use only HE (High-Efficiency) detergent ••This washer requires very little detergent. For proper wash performance, always use the detergent dispenser provided with the machine. ••The dispenser holds a maximum of 2 teaspoons (10 g/10 cc) of HE detergent. Most normal loads require only 1 teaspoon (5 g/5 cc) of detergent, or filling the dispenser to the halfway line. ••Do not use a full detergent pod in the Mini Washer. Using too much detergent may cause oversudsing and unsatisfactory performance. Reduce detergent amount or add an extra rinse if detergent residue is left on fabrics. ••Use extra care when measuring 2X and 3X concentrated detergents because even a small amount extra can lead to problems. ••Detergents designated as HE-compatible may not provide optimal results. Maximum (2 tsp., 10 g) Normal load amount (1 tsp., 5 g) ENGLISH
