Whirlpool WGT4027HW, Use And Care Manual

■

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

can pass under the agitator and become trapped, causing 

unexpected sounds.

■

 Sort items by recommended cycle, water temperature,  

and colorfastness. 

■

 Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled. 

■

 Separate delicate items from sturdy fabrics. 

■

 Do not dry garments if stains remain after washing, because 

heat can set stains into fabric.

■

 Treat stains promptly. 

■

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

remove non-washable trim and ornaments.

■

 Mend rips and tears to avoid further damage to items  

during washing.

Helpful Tips: 

■

 When washing waterproof or water-resistant items, load evenly. 

■

 Use mesh garment bags to help avoid 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 label instructions to 

avoid damage to your garments.

Sort and prepare your laundry

USING YOUR WASHER

Add a measured amount of HE  

detergent or single-dose laundry  

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 adding clothes.

IMPORTANT:

 Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package 

will be marked “HE” or “High Efficiency.” Using non-HE 

detergent will likely result in longer cycle times and reduced 

rinsing performance. It may also result in component malfunction 

and, over time, buildup of mold or mildew. HE detergents should 

be low-sudsing and quick-dispersing to produce the right 

amount of suds for the best performance. They should hold soil 

in suspension so it is not redeposited onto clean clothes. Not all 

detergents labeled as High Efficiency are identical in formulation 

and their ability to reduce suds. For example, natural, organic,  

or homemade HE detergents may generate a high level of suds.

NOTE:

 Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to determine the 

amount of laundry products to use.
