The drawings in this book may vary
slightly from your washer model. They
are designed to show the different
features of all the models covered by
this book. Your model may not include
all the features shown.
A. Sort the load
Sort items by lint-givers (chenille, bath
towels) and lint-takers (corduroy,
permanent press and synthetics).
Sort by fabric and construction (cottons,
knits and delicate items).
Sort by color (white, colorfast and
non-colorfast).
Sort by amount of soil (heavy, normal
and light).
B. Load the washer
(For specific loading recommendations
see Page 7.)
Drop items in loosely and evenly.
For best cleaning and wrinkle-free
results, items should move freely in
wash water. (Permanent press and
synthetic knits should have more room
to move in the water than towels, jeans,
etc.)
Laundry Tip
Do Not overload washer.
Overloading or packing can cause
poor cleaning, increased wrinkling,
excessive lint and can wear out
items faster.
Set water level at LARGE or
EX LARGE for the best permanent
press results.
