LAUNDRYTIPS
Preparing clothes for washing
Follow these recommendations to help you prolong the life of
your garments.
Close zippers, snaps, and hooks to avoid snagging other
items. Remove pins, buckles, and other hard objects to avoid
scratching the washer interior. Remove non-washable trim
and ornaments.
Empty pockets and turn them inside out.
Turn down cuffs, brush away lint and dirt.
Turn synthetic knits inside out to avoid pilling.
Tie strings and sashes so they will not tangle.
Mend tears, loose hems, and seams.
Treat spots and stains.
Stained or wet garments should be washed promptly for best
results.
Sorting
Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled ones, even if
they would normally be washed together. Separate lint givers
(towels, chenille) from lint takers (corduroy, synthetics,
permanent press). When possible, turn lint givers inside out.
Separate dark colors from light colors, colorfast items from
non-colorfast items.
Sort by fabric and construction (sturdy cottons, knits, delicate
items).

WASHERCARE
Cleaning Your Washer
Cleaning the exterior
Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe up any spills such as
detergent or bleach. Occasionally wipe the outside of your
washer to keep it looking new.
Cleaning the interior
To clean your washer interior, add 1 cup (250 mL) of chlorine
bleach and 2 scoops or caps full of detergent into your dispenser,
and run a complete cycle using hot water. Repeat this process if
necessary.
NOTE: Remove any hard water deposits using only cleaners
labeled as washer safe.
WaterI,tet i ioses
Replace inlet hoses after five years of use to reduce the risk of
hose failure. Periodically inspect and replace inlet hoses if
bulges, kinks, cuts, wear or leaks are found.
When replacing your inlet hoses, mark the date of replacement
on the label with a permanent marker.
Install and store your washer where itwill not freeze. Because
some water may stay in the hoses, freezing can damage your
washer. If storing or moving your washer during freezing weather,
winterize it.
Non-use or vacation care:
Operate your washer only when you are at home. If you will be on
vacation or not using your washer for an extended period of time,
you should:
Unplug washer or disconnect power.
Turn off the water supply to the washer. This helps avoid
accidental flooding (due to a water pressure surge) while you
are away.
To winterize washer.
1. Shut off both waterfaucets.
2. Disconnect and drain water inlet hoses.
3. Put 1 quart (1 L) of R._-type antifreeze in the basket.
