Loading the Washer . . .
Load Articles
Load items by the amount of space they take up, not by
their weight. Mix large and small items in a load to get
the best washing results.
Drop items loosely into the
washtub. The bulk of the
clothes rather than the weight
will determine load size. Do
not pack items in or wrap them
around the agitator.
Overloading can cause poor
cleaning, excessive wrinkling,
and tears.
Items should move freely through the wash water for
best cleaning results. Items should rollover, sink and
then reappear.
When washing very large items, do not fill washtub as
full as with other loads.

Water Level
The water level in your washer should fit the size of
your wash load. Small loads will use lower water
levels. There must be enough water in the washtub to
allow items to move and turn over freely.
Overloading the washtub can result in poor washing
and rinsing.
Overloading may also cause wrinkling and tearing of
items.
IMPORTANT: If in doubt always use a higher
water level. Most average loads will require water
setting of Large. Failure to have the correct volume
of water relative to the load will increase the
incidence of excessive lint.
