Using Your Washer - Whirlpool WETLV27HW Guide D'utilisation Et D'entretien

USING YOUR WASHER

1.
Sort and prepare your laundry
Empty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small object
■
can pass under the agitator and become trapped, causing
unexpected sounds.
Sort items by recommended cycle, water temperature,
■
and colorfastness.
Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled.
■
Separate delicate items from sturdy fabrics.
■
Do not dry garments if stains remain after washing, because
■
heat can set stains into fabric.
Treat stains promptly.
■
Close zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings and sashes, and
■
remove non-washable trim and ornaments.
Mend rips and tears to avoid further damage to items
■
during washing.
Helpful Tips:
When washing waterproof or water-resistant items, load evenly.
■
Use mesh garment bags to help avoid tangling when washing
■
delicate or small items.
Turn knits inside out to avoid pilling. Separate lint-takers from
■
lint-givers. Synthetics, knits, and corduroy fabrics will pick up
lint from towels, rugs, and chenille fabrics.
NOTE: Always read and follow fabric care label instructions to
avoid damage to your garments.
2.
Add laundry products
Add a measured amount of HE
detergent or single-dose laundry
packet into the basket.
If using Oxi-type boosters, color-safe
bleach, or fabric softener crystals, add
to the bottom of the washer basket before adding clothes.
IMPORTANT: Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package
will be marked "HE" or "High Efficiency." Using non-HE
detergent will likely result in longer cycle times and reduced
rinsing performance. It may also result in component malfunction
and, over time, buildup of mold or mildew. HE detergents should
be low-sudsing and quick-dispersing to produce the right
amount of suds for the best performance. They should hold soil
in suspension so it is not redeposited onto clean clothes. Not all
detergents labeled as High Efficiency are identical in formulation
and their ability to reduce suds. For example, natural, organic,
or homemade HE detergents may generate a high level of suds.
NOTE: Follow the manufacturer's instructions to determine the
amount of laundry products to use.
