Whirlpool WTW8500BW Manual De Propietario

•  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 prevent 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.

Add a measured of amount of detergent or single-dose laun-

dry 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 add-

ing clothes.
NOTE: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to determine the 

amount of laundry products to use.
