Using Your Washer 1. Sort and prepare your laundry  2. Add laundry products • Empty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small object can pass under the washplate and become trapped, causing unexpected sounds. • Sort items by recommended cycle, water temperature, and colorfastness. • Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled. • Separate delicate items from sturdy fabrics. • Do not dry items if stains remain after washing; heat can set stains into fabric. • Treat stains promptly. • Close zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings and sashes. Remove non-washable trim and ornaments. • Mend rips and tears to avoid further damage to items during washing. Helpful Tips: • For best performance, use HE liquid detergent when washing bulky items. • When washing water-proof or water-resistant items, load evenly. • Use mesh 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 labels instructions to avoid damage to your items. Single-dose laundry packet, color-safe bleach, Oxi-type boosters, or fabric softener crystals can be added to the basket prior to adding laundry. NOTE: Always follow manufacturer's instructions. 3. Load laundry into washer For best performance, load items in loose heaps evenly around the washplate. Try mixing different sized items to reduce tangling. IMPORTANT: Items need to move freely for best cleaning and to reduce wrinkling and tangling. 9
