WASHING METHODS

SORTING AND PREPARATION

• Separate whites, darks, light colors and non-colorfast garments.
• Separate items that produce lint (flannel, fleece and towels) from items that collect lint (knits, corduroy and synthetic fabrics).
• Sort by fabric type (cottons, permanent press and delicate) and by the amountof soil.
• Close zippers, snaps and hooks.
• Empty pockets and turn them inside out.
• Remove pins or other sharp objects from clothes to prevent scratching interior parts.
• Repair loose seams and minor tears.
• Pre-treat spots, stains and heavily soiled areas.

LOADING

• Load each garment loosely; do not place folded items into the washer.
• Do not overload the washer.
• Close the door properly after loading clothes. Take care to ensure that garments are not caught in the gasket.

IMPORTANT: If you intend to use the Drying option , load the washer only halffull with clothes. Do not completely fill the washer with a full load. Clothes must have room to tumble freely in the drum.

USING THE DISPENSER

The dispenser drawer is located in the upper left corner of the washer. Open the drawer by pulling it straight out. There are three separate compartments for loading detergent and fabric softener.

1. PREWASH COMPARTMENT
   If the "Prewash" option is selected, use only powdered HE detergent in both the prewash and main wash compartments. The compartment will be flushed with water during the prewash.
   IMPORTANT: Liquid detergent poured into the main wash compartment will immediately flow into the wash drum and be used during the prewash.
2. MAIN WASH COMPARTMENT
   If the "Prewash" option is selected, use only powdered HE detergent, otherwise liquid HE detergent can be used. The compartment will be flushed with water during the wash cycle.

FABRIC SOFTENER COMPARTMENT

Use liquid fabric softener as recommended by the manufacturer. However, do not exceed the max fill mark shown in the compartment. This is necessary to ensure complete flushing during the final rinse and to avoid overflow in the dispenser drawer.

IMPORTANT: The dispenser is designed to work only with liquid fabric softener. Do not use powdered fabric softener; it will clog the dispenser by not completely dissolving.

DETERGENT

Use only High Efficiency detergent. HE detergents are specifically formulated with ingredients to avoid problems caused by too many soap suds. Excess suds will prevent the complete rinsing of detergent residue from clothes. Washer performance will be diminished by soap build up and damage can occur if soap suds get into areas of the machine like the condensing dryer compartment.

IMPORTANT: Use only powdered HE detergent when both the Prewash and Main Wash compartments are used. Liquid detergent immediately flows into the wash drum and both amounts would be used during the first wash program.

NOTE: The proper amount of detergent depends on the size of the load, the soil level of the clothes, and the softness of the water being supplied to the washer.

DRYING METHODS

SORTING AND LOADING CLOTHES

• Separate heavy fabrics from lightweight fabrics.
• Separate items that produce lint (flannel, fleece and towels) from items that collect lint (knits, corduroy and synthetic fabrics).
• Sort by fabric type (cottons, permanent press and delicates)
• Permanent press items should be dried together with enough space to tumble freely. Promptly remove garments from the dryer and fold or hang right away.

WARNING

Fire Hazard

To reduce the risk of fire, do not dry items containing foam rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials.

IMPORTANT: Load the machine half-full with clothes. Do not completely fill the drum with a full load. Clothes must have room to tumble freely in the drum.
