How to Use a Front Load Washing Machine
Front-load machines use less water and are gentle on clothes, but they need the right detergent and some regular care. Follow these steps for a clean wash and a healthy machine.
Step-by-step instructions
Check the installation
Make sure the transit bolts are removed, the machine is level and the hoses are properly connected.
Sort and load the clothes
Sort clothes by colour and fabric. Load them loosely and leave a gap at the top of the drum.
Add detergent and softener
Use detergent made for front-load machines. Put it into the correct compartment of the drawer and do not exceed the maximum mark.
Close the door firmly
Close the door until you hear it click. Check that no clothes are caught in the seal.
Choose a program
Select the program, temperature and spin speed for the type of clothes.
Start the cycle
Press start. The door will lock during the cycle and unlock a minute or two after it ends.
Unload and air out the drum
Take out the clothes, wipe the gasket and leave the door and drawer slightly open to dry.
Extra tips for best results
- Clean the drain filter every month or two.
- Run a hot maintenance wash occasionally.
- Do not use more detergent than recommended; extra suds cause leaks and smell.
- Wipe the door gasket after use.
