The
SUDS-MISER” System
Your washer has the SUDS-MISERE System. It has two drain hoses
One hose moves a portion of used wash water into a storage tub
and moves it back into the washer for use during the next wash.
The other hose carries water to another tub with an open drain, or
to a standpipe drain.
The storage tub should hold at least 20 gallons (76 liters].
If you do not want to re-use wash water, leave the stopper out
of the storage tub so the water drains away.

Be sure the stopper is in the storage tub. The SUDS-MISER System
does not save rinse water from any cycle, nor does it save wash
water from the PERMANENT PRESS Cycle.
To re-use wash water
1. Set Cycle Control Knob on
SUDS (see illustration).
2. Pull the Control Knob out. The
washer will pump most of the
water from the storage tub
back into the washer basket.
Do not add clothes at this
time. The washer will finish fill-
ing with fresh water.
3. When the water has pumped
back into the washer, push in
the Cycle Control Knob.
4. Add about ?I2 the recom-
mended amount of detergent.
5. Put in the clothes.
6. Pull out the Cycle Control Knob
to start the washer.
7. Drain the storage tub. Water
still in the tub will have any soil
that has settled out. The hose
is cut on an angle to leave be-
hind about an inch of water
and any soil from previous
wash.
If you want a cycle other than
REGULAR HEAVY to follow SUDS,
push in the Cycle Control
Knob after the water has been
pumped back into the washer.
Turn the knob right (clockwise]
to the cycle and wash time
you want.
