Loading and using the washer.
Always follow fabric manufacturer’s care label when laundering.
Sorting Wash Loads
Sort by color (whites, lights, colors), soil level,
fabric type (sturdy cottons, easy care, delicates),
and whether the fabric produces lint (terry cloth,
chenille), or collects lint (velveteen, corduroy).
Proper Use of Detergent
Add detergent and start the washer before adding
clothes so that the detergent can work effectively.
Using too little or too much detergent is a common
cause of laundry problems.
You can use less detergent if you have soft water,
a smaller load, or a lightly soiled load.
Loading the Washer
Load dry items loosely, no higher than the top row
of holes in the washer basket. When loading wet
items make sure you set the load/water level high
enough to allow the items to move freely. Water
level should just cover the clothes. To add items
after washer has started, push in Cycle knob and
submerge additional items next to the agitator.
Close the lid and pull Cycle knob out to restart.
Do not wrap long items like sheets or pants around
the agitator.
Do not wash fabrics containing flammable materials
(waxes, cleaning fluids, etc.).
Water will fill and pump out of the washer and the
timer will advance with the lid up, but as a safety
precaution the washer will not agitate or spin.
