To Wash Clothes
IMPORTANT: Before using your new washer, 
make sure the washer cord is plugged into a 
120 Volt electrical outlet that has the proper 
grounding and polarity. Make sure the washer 
hoses are connected to the hot and cold water 
faucets, and that the faucets are turned on. Be 
sure the drain hose is not kinked and is inserted 
into a drain. Refer to the INSTALLATION 
INSTRUCTIONS for details of proper washer 
installation.
IMPORTANT: Prior to first wash, use an all 
purpose cleaner, or a detergent and water 
solution, and a damp cloth to remove shipping 
dust from inside of wash drum.
1. Get the clothes ready for washing. Empty 
pockets and cuffs. Sort items into separate 
loads. Pretreat stains and heavily soiled areas.
IMPORTANT: Remove all sharp objects from 
laundry to avoid tears and rips to items
during normal machine operation.
2. Measure and add low sudsing, high 
efficiency (HE) detergent, fabric softener 
and bleach to the dispenser drawer. Refer to 
section on Using Your Dispenser Drawer. 
Follow instructions on detergent package for 
amount to use.
NOTE: High efficiency (HE) 
detergents are designed 
especially for frontload 
washers to reduce oversudsing 
and maximize cleaning results. 
Look for the HE logo or “high efficiency” on the 
detergent’s label.
IMPORTANT: If using detergents made for 
topload washers, avoid oversudsing by using 
only 1/4 cup regular detergent (1/2 of the 
recommended amount).
3. Load clothes into wash drum. Refer to 
section on Load Sizes.
NOTE: Small items such as baby socks may get 
caught around the door. Place these articles 
inside a mesh garment bag.
4. Close the loading door tightly. The washer will 
not operate with the loading door open.
