Whirlpool duet GHW9300PW0 Manuel D’Utilisation

Refer to this chart for suggested load types and their corresponding cycles. Listed to the right are the options available to each of these 
washer cycles. 

Follow these recommendations to help you prolong the life of 
your garments.

■

Close zippers, snaps, and hooks to avoid snagging other 
items. Remove pins, buckles, and other hard objects to avoid 
scratching the washer interior. Remove non-washable trim 
and ornaments.

■

Empty pockets and turn them inside-out.

■

Turn down cuffs; brush away lint and dirt.

■

Turn synthetic knits inside-out to avoid pilling.

■

Tie strings and sashes so they will not tangle.

■

Mend tears, loose hems, and seams.

■

Treat spots and stains.

■

Stained or wet garments should be washed promptly for best 
results.

■

Mix large and small items. Avoid washing single items. Load 
evenly.

■

Wash small items such as infant socks in mesh garment 
bags. It is recommended that more than one garment bag be 
used and that each garment bag be filled with equal amounts 
of material. 

■

Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled ones, even if 
they would normally be washed together. Separate lint-givers 
(towels, chenille) from lint-takers (corduroy, synthetics, 
permanent press). When possible, turn lint-givers inside-out.

■

Separate dark colors from light colors, colorfast items from 
noncolorfast items.

■

Sort by fabric and construction (sturdy cottons, knits, delicate 
items).

■

Remove clothes from washer after the cycle is completed. 
Metal objects such as zippers, snaps, and buckles may rust if 
left in the washer basket for a long time.

■

When unloading garments, occasionally check under the 
rubber rim at the front of the tub for small items.
