Carbg for your washer

These pages will show you how to care for your washer so it will

work for you as long as it possibly can.

WHEN NOT WASHING, keep both water

faucets turned off. This takes the pressure

off the water inlet valve and hoses.

REMOVE SHARP OBJECTS such as

pins, buckles, etc., before washing.

Close metal zippers.

After washing items with colors that

bleed, run the washer through a

RINSE and SPIN. After dyeing in

your washer, run through a com-

plete wash cycle (see Laundry

Guide page 13 ).

AFTER WASHING, use a soft dry cloth to

wipe the outside and inside dry. Leave

the lid up until the basket is dry. Wipe up

spills right away.

They can dull or dam-

age the finish.

SHARP OR HEAVY OBJECTS should never

be put on or in the washer. Check pock-

ets for bolts, nuts, tools, etc.

SOME PRETREATMENT PRODUCTS can

damage washer and dryer dials, con-

soles and finishes. Do not use these

products on or near your washer or

dryer control panel.

Your Warranty does

not cover damage to your appliance

caused by pretreatment products.

WINTERIZING

Install and store your washer where it won’t

freeze. Because some water stays in the washer,

freezing can cause a lot of damage If your washer

is stored or moved during cold weather, it’s o good

idea to winterize it by following these steps:

1. Shut off both water 2. Put a quart of

faucets. Disconnect automobile-type

and drain the water antifreeze in the

inlet hoses. basket.

3. Set the washer for a

DRAIN and SPIN. Let

it run for about 30

seconds, This mixes

the antifreeze with

the water left in the

washer.

To use the washer again,

1. flush the water pipes and hoses,

put the hoses on the washer,

3. turn on the water.

4. Put a cup of

detergent in the

washer basket.

Then run the

washer through a

complete cycle;

it will be ready

to use.

WASHING POSSIBLE

PROBLEMS CAUSES SOLUTIONS

MANUAL LINT FILTER NOT CLEAN

A clogged or over filled manual-clean filter may

not filter lint as well as a clean one. Clean the filter

after every wash.

LOAD NOT SORTED RIGHT

Lint givers (bath towels, etc.) should not be washed

with linttakers (synthetics, permanent press].

OVERLOADING Too many items in a load will not move freely in the

water. Lint can be trapped in the load instead of

flowing through the filter with the water.

Overloading can also cause items to rub together

too much. This can make lint as well as damage

fabrics.

PAPER OR TISSUE IN POCKETS

A small scrap of paper can make a lot of lint.

Clean pockets carefully.

STATIC ELECTRICITY

Use fabric softener in the final deep rinse to help

eliminate static electricity.

Use correct dryer settings for fabric type.

Overdying synthetics can create lint-attracting

static electricity.

NOT ENOUGH DETERGENT

Use enough detergent to hold the lint in the water

until the drain. The amount you use depends on

water hardness and the soil in the wash load.

MISUSE OF CHLORINE BLEACH

When chlorine bleach is not properly used

[poured on fabrics in full strength, using too much or

too often, used on the wrong fabrics, etc.), fabrics will

be weakened. The weakened fabric can rip several

washings later (see “Laundry Guide” page 11).Follow

package directions carefully.

SHARP ARTICLES NOT REMOVED

FASTENERS NOT FASTENED

Hooks and eyes, zippers and snaps should be

fastened so they can’t catch and snag some

fabrics.

Remove sharp objects (safety and straight pins,

paper clips, etc.) from clothes before washing.

Turn synthetic knits inside out before washing.

DAMAGE NOT MENDED BEFORE WASHING

Mend rips, broken threads in seams and tears

before washing.

WASHING

PROBLEMS POSSIBLE

CAUSES SOLUTION

GRAY

WHITES,

DINGY

COLORS

POOR SORTING White and colored articles should be washed

separately. Non-colorfast items that may bleed

should also be in a separate load.

NOT ENOUGH DETERGENT

Use enough detergent to remove soil and hold it in

suspension until it drains.

WATER NOT HOT ENOUGH

Hot water should be at least 130°F (54°C) to clean

heavy or greasy soils.

WATER TOO HARD FOR SOAP OR DETERGENT USED

Hard water and soap or non-phosphate detergent

can form a residue or scum that deposits on fabrics.

In areas where ohosohate deteraents are not

allowed: ’ ’

Use a liquid detergent in increased amounts for

water hardness and amount of soil.

Use a water conditioner in the wash and deep

rinse.

Install a mechanical water softener if water is very

hard and soap (not synthetic detergent) is used.

If you have the problem: For the next few times you wash, use an

increased amount of detergent. Use the correct cycle and water

temperature for the fa brie being washed.

GREASY

LOOKING

FABRIC SOFTENER IN THE WASH WATER

Liquid fabric softeners can combine with soap or

detergent to form a greasy looking stain or spot. Add

to deep rinse only.

Do not use any other laundry aid in combination

with fabric softener.

NOT ENOUGH DETERGENT

You need enough detergent to hold soil so it drains

away with the wash water. If soil doesn’t drain away,

it can stick to the outer tub. From there, it can wash

back into the load during the next wash.

Treat such spots with a liquid all-purpose

detergent or soil and stain remover.

Wash in warm or hot water with more detergent

than normal.

Stubborn stains may require more than one

treatment. Do not machine dry between washings.

To remove deposits from outer tub, ut the

unloaded washer through a camp ete cycle using

hot water, 2 cups (500 mL) of detergent and 1 cup

(250 mL) of chlorine bleach.

Do not use chlorine bleach.

0 Install an iron filter.

SLOW SPIN Use

high

spin cycles for heavy cottons (towels, jeans,

etc.). Short slow spins do not remove enough water from

heavy cottons. Balance load.

COLD RINSES Cold rinses save energy and money and leave fewer

wrinkles, but do leave loads a little colder and wetter.

LID OPEN Washer will not spin if lid is left open. Load will be drip-

ping wet.
