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
Monthly Maintenance
Procedure
Your washer has a special cycle stored within the machine's
programming.
Pressing a specific combination
of buttons will
enter this cleaning cycle. This cycle uses higher water volumes in
combination
with liquid chlorine bleach to thoroughly
clean the
inside of your washing machine.
NOTES:
•
Read these instructions
completely
before beginning the
cleaning process.
If necessary, the cleaning cycle may be interrupted by
pressing the PAUSE/CANCEL 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.
Begin procedure
1. Open the washer door and remove any clothing or items from
the washer.
2. Be sure the door is closed.
3. Open the dispenser drawer and remove the detergent divider
from the Main Wash detergent compartment
and set aside.
See "Using the Dispenser" for instructions. No laundry
additives will be added at this time; you will be required to
add only liquid chlorine bleach, at a later step.
