Whirlpool WTW8800YC Manual

•  Empty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small  

object can pass under the washplate and become  

trapped, causing unexpected sounds.

•  Sort garments by recommended cycle, water temperature,  

and colorfastness. 

•  Separate heavily soiled garments from lightly soiled. 
•  Separate delicate garments from sturdy fabrics. 
•  Do not dry garments if stains remain after washing; heat  

can set stains into fabric.

•  Treat stains promptly. 
•  Close zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings and sashes.  

Remove non-washable trim and ornaments.

•  Mend rips and tears to avoid further damage to garments  

during washing.

 

•  When washing water-proof or water-resistant items, load 

evenly. See “Cycle Guide” for tips and more information  

on using the Bulky Items cycle. 

•  Use mesh 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 labels instructions  

to avoid damage to your garments.

Load garments in loose heaps evenly 

around the washplate. Do not load  

garments directly over the center  

of the washplate; when loaded, the  

center of the washplate should be  

visible. Try mixing different sized  

garments to reduce tangling.

IMPORTANT: Garments need to move freely for best cleaning 

and to reduce wrinkling and tangling.

Single-dose laundry packet or fabric softener crystals can be 

added to the basket prior to adding laundry. 
NOTE: Do not add clothes to washer basket prior to adding 

laundry products. Always follow manufacturer’s instructions.
