Wash small items, such as infant socks, in a mesh garment
bag. To create a balanced load it is recommended
that more
than one garment bag be used, and that each garment bag
be filled with equal amounts of material.
NOTE: If you are washing only small items, it is
recommended
that more than one mesh garment bag be
used, and that each garment bag be filled with equal
amounts of material.
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
noncolorfast
items.
•
Sort by fabric and construction
(sturdy cottons, knits, delicate
items).
Unloading
•
Remove clothes from washer after the cycle is completed.
Metal objects such as zippers, snaps, and buckles may rust if
left in the washer basket for a long time.
•
When unloading garments, occasionally
check under the gray
colored seal at the front of the tub for small items.

Washer
Maintenance
Procedure
This washer has a special cycle that uses higher water volumes in
combination
with liquid chlorine bleach to thoroughly
clean the
inside of the washer.
NOTES:
•
Read these instructions completely
before beginning the
cleaning process.
•
If necessary, the cleaning cycle may be interrupted by
pressing the STOP button. However, this will not immediately
stop the cycle. The machine will display "int" (interrupt) and
continue with several rinse and drain steps to ensure that all
remaining bleach is rinsed from the washer.
