OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Preparing a load of laundry
Sorting wash loads
Sort laundry into loads that can be washed together.
• First - Sort into color groups (whites, lights, and darks)
• Second - Sort into soil levels (heavy, normal, and light)
• Third - Sort into fabric types such as delicates, easy care, and sturdy cottons
• Finally - Sort into lint producers or lint collectors.
Washing tips
• Combine large and small items in a load. Load large items first. Large items
should not be more than half the total wash load. Washing single items is not
recommended. This may cause an out-of-balance load. Add one or two similar
items.
• Pillows and comforters should be washed by themselves, using the Bulky
cycle.
• If this is the first time you are washing an item, make sure that it is color-fast.
Use a white rag or towel with a little detergent to wash a hidden part of the
item. If the rag or towel is stained, the item is not color-fast.
• If an item has stains, use a spot remover or gently apply a small amount of
detergent to the stains, then gently scrub the stains with a brush.
• Check the manufacturer's label for special washing instructions.
• Make sure that you remove all items from pockets. Hard items, like coins, can
damage your washer.
• Consider using a pillow case you can close or a washing bag to protect items
like bras, lacy items, and delicate items.
• Wash whites and colors separately.
• Turn items that can pill (like sweaters and sweatshirts) inside out.
• Maximize garment care by closing garment zippers, snaps, buttons, and
hooks.
• Mend seams, hems, and tears prior to washing.
• Remove non-washable garment accessories such as ornaments and
non-washable trim materials.
• To avoid tangling, tie strings, draw ties, and belt-like materials.
• Brush away surface dirt and lint.
• Promptly wash wet or stained garments to maximize results.
• Use nylon mesh garment bags to wash small items.
• Wash multiple garments at one time for best results.
• Never leave wet items to be washed in your washer for long periods of time.
Items may mold and cause stains.
• Make sure that you check the manufacturer's label for water temperature
instructions.
• Don’t wash items, like ties or items with decorations, that may stretch or
distort.
WARNING - Fire Hazard
• Never place items in your washer that are dampened with gasoline or other
flammable liquids. Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
• Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on it (including cooking oils).
No washer can completely remove oil.
