Whirlpool WFW96HEAW Manuel D’Utilisation

Sort items by recommended cycle, water temperature, and 

colorfastness. Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled. 

Separate delicate items from sturdy fabrics. Treat stains 

promptly and check for colorfastness by testing stain  

remover products on an inside seam.

n

 

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

can plug pumps and may require a service call.

n

 

Close zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings and sashes, and 

remove non-washable trim and ornaments.

n

 

Mend rips and tears to avoid further damage to items  

during washing.

n

 

Turn knits inside out to prevent pilling. Separate lint-takers 

from lint-givers. Synthetics, knits, and corduroy fabrics will 

pick up lint from towels, rugs, and chenille fabrics.

n

 

Do not dry garments if stains remain after washing, because 

heat can set stains into fabric.

n

 

Always read and follow fabric care labels and laundry  

product instructions. Improper usage may cause damage  

to your garments.

Place a load of sorted clothes loosely in the washer. Items need 

to move freely for best cleaning and to reduce wrinkling and 

tangling. Close the washer door by pushing it firmly until the  

latch clicks. 

n

  

Depending on load type and cycle, the washer can be fully 

loaded, but not tightly packed. Washer door should close 

easily. See “Cycle Guide” for loading suggestions.

n

  

Mix large and small items and avoid washing single items. 

Load evenly.

n

  

Wash small items in mesh garment bags. For multiple items, 

use more than one bag and fill bags equally.

Before washing clothes for the first time, fill the HE liquid 

dispenser cartridge and install in the dispenser drawer. Choose 

the QUICK WASH cycle and run it without clothes. Use only 

HE detergent. This initial cycle serves to ensure the interior is 

clean and the dispenser drawer is ready for use before washing 

clothes.

Single-dose laundry packet, Oxi-type boosters, color-safe 

bleach, or fabric softener crystals can be added to the drum 

prior to adding laundry. 
NOTE: Do not add clothes to washer drum prior to adding 

laundry products. Always follow manufacturer’s instructions.
