Using the All-In-One Washer/Dryer First wash cycle without laundry Before washing clothes for the first time, set up the Load & Go™ bulk dispenser (see page 9). Choose the Regular (What to Wash) and Quick (How to Wash) cycle and run it without clothes. Use only HE detergent. This initial cycle serves to ensure the interior is clean and the bulk dispenser is primed and ready for use before washing clothes. If using liquid HE detergent in both Dispenser 1 and Dispenser 2, you will need to run a second cycle without laundry as indicated above to prime Dispenser 2 and clean the interior. Using the Tools button, make sure that Dispenser 1 is disabled when priming Dispenser 2 for detergent. 2. If desired, instead of liquid detergent, add powdered HE detergent and/or laundry products 1. Sort and prepare your laundry 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. 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. 10 Powdered HE detergent, single-dose laundry packets, Oxi-type boosters, or scented crystals can be added to the drum prior to adding laundry. Make sure that the Load & Go™ bulk dispenser is disabled or off (see Step 11 on page 13), and skip Step 4 when using powdered HE detergent or single-dose laundry packets. NOTES: n Always follow manufacturer's instructions. n Do not use chlorine bleach. 3. Load laundry into washer/dryer Place a load of sorted items loosely in the washer/dryer. Items need to move freely for best cleaning and to reduce wrinkling and tangling. If using the drying option, loading the drum half full or less and not interrupting the drying cycle by opening the door will improve drying performance and cycle time. Close the washer/dryer door by pushing it firmly until the latch clicks. 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 fill bags equally.
