If the hot water has not been used for two weeks or more, prevent the possibility of damage or injury by

turning on all hot water faucets and allowing them to run for several minutes. Do this before using any

electrical appliance which is connected to the hot water system. This simple procedure will allow any

built-up hydrogen gas to escape. Since the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame or

appliance during this process.

Q: What is the difference between Heavy and Light settings?

A: For Whites and Colors, the wash agitation time is increased by 6 minutes and for Casuals,

by 12 minutes. (Times are approximate)

A: Regular means the washer will continuously agitate during the wash cycle. ulsed provides

a more gentle wash cycle by including pause periods during the wash cycle.

Q: Which cycle is best for heavily soiled items?

A: Whites or Colors cycles have the greatest wash intensity. This cycle provides the best overall

cleaning . Casuals should be used for wrinkle-free and permanent press items.

Q: How can I reduce linting?

A: Sort wash loads by fabric type and whether they collect lint (velveteen, corduroy) or produce

lint (terry cloth, chenille). Wash small loads for a shorter amount of time.

Q: How much detergent do I use?

A: For best performance, always follow the detergent manufacturer’s instructions on usage.

any detergents are concentrated, so consult the product label and follow the clearly

marked lines on the detergent measuring cups. Excessive detergent can negatively impact

the wash performance.

detergent can work effectively. Using too little or too

much detergent is a common cause of laundry

problems.

which may cause the coloring on the lid or graphics

to fade.

You can use less detergent if you have soft water,

a smaller load or a lightly soiled load.

When using high efficiency or concentrated

detergents, consult the product label to determine

amount required for optimum performance.

Excessive detergent will negatively impact wash

performance.
