with no laundry to clean the system before your first load 
of laundry.
First add 1 to 2 tablespoons of detergent to the leftmost 
compartment of the detergent dispenser. Then run the

WARNING
WARNING
To avoid risk of explosion! Laundry items that have 
been pretreated with any material containing 
solvents (e.g. stain remover, cleaner’s solvent) must 
be rinsed out thoroughly by hand before they are 
placed in the washing machine.
Loosen the laundry being loaded and mix small and 
large items
Unfold the sorted items and place them loosely in the 
drum. Mix small and large items to help them better

the type of wash. Overloading will cause poor wash 
results and will cause creasing.
