Wash/Rinse Temp
Select a water temperature based on the type of load you are
washing. Use the warmest wash water safe for fabrics. Follow
garment label instructions.
In wash water temperatures colder than 60°F (15.6°C),
detergents do not dissolve well. Soils may be difficult to remove.
Auto Load Sensing Technology
This technology electronically senses and maintains a uniform

LAUNDRY TIPS
Preparing clothes for washing
Follow these recommendations to help you prolong the life of
your garments.
■
Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package for this type
of detergent will be marked “HE” or “High Efficiency.” This wash
system, along with less water, will create too much sudsing with
a regular non-HE detergent. Using regular detergent will likely
result in washer errors, longer cycle times, and reduced rinsing
performance. It may also result in component failures and
noticeable mold or mildew. HE detergents are made to produce
the right amount of suds for the best performance. Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions to determine the amount of
detergent to use. Remember, concentrated detergents such
as 2x or higher will use less detergent based on load size.
■ Close zippers, snaps, and hooks to avoid snagging other
items. Remove pins, buckles, and other hard objects to avoid
scratching the washer interior. Remove non-washable trim
and ornaments.
■ Empty pockets and turn them inside out.
■ Turn down cuffs; brush away lint and dirt.
■ Turn wool and synthetic knits inside out to avoid pilling.
■ Tie strings and sashes so they will not tangle.
■ Mend tears, loose hems, and seams.
■ Treat spots and stains.
■ Stained or wet garments should be washed promptly for best
results.
■ Mix large and small items, avoid washing single items, and
load evenly.
■ 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.
