Use the label instructions to help choose the right cycle and options.

General tips from the manual: - Check and empty pockets. Paper clips, coins, matches, and other items can damage clothing and the washer. - Close zippers and hooks, and tie drawstrings to prevent snagging or tangling. - Pretreat heavily stained areas for best results. - Brush off heavy soil, dust, and hair before washing.
