Carefully check all pockets and cuffs for small items.
They can easily slide in to the tub and may damage the tub.
Pre-treat all stains and heavily soiled areas for best results.
When loading wet items, keep water level high enough so items
can float easily in the water.
Avoid wrapping large items such as bed sheets around the agitator.
Close the door properly after loading the clothes. If you keep the lid
up, the agitation will not start.
It is good washing practice to add the detergent to the water
before you add the clothes so that the detergent can work
effectively on your clothes.
Note: You can use less or more detergent depending on the size of the load,
water type in your living area, whether it is soft or hard and whether the
clothes are heavily soiled or lightly soiled.
