Whirlpool LA58OOXK Washer User Manual


 
Model LA5805XK Only
Using the
Suds-MiseP
System
If your washer has the
SUDS-MISER” System, It has two &an
hoses One hose drains wash water Into
the storage tub, the other
carries rinse
water to the 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
The basket In your super capac-
ity washer holds more than 20 gallons
(74
liters) when the
LOAD SIZE SELEC-
TOR
IS set on EX LARGE Because so
many storage tubs hold only 20 gal-
lons, your washer IS deslgned to save
most of the wash water and pump the
rest down the drain
If you have a storage tub big
enough to hold about 25 gallons
(95 liters), you can have a qualified
installer convert your washer to
save all the wash water.
To Save Wash Water
Be sure the stopper IS In the
storage tub The SUDS-MISER system
does not save wash water from the
PERMANENT PRESS Cycle
In the PERMANENT PRESS Cycle,
part of the wash water IS dralned
away (with par1 of the detergent)
Then the washer fills agaln with cold
water This helps keep
permanent
press fabrics from wrinkling during the
spin
To Re-Use Wash Water

back into the washer, push in the
Cycle Control Knob Turn it to the right
(clockwise) so it points to
SUDS just
before the time numbers In the REGU-
LAR HEAVY Cycle.
Pull the Control Knob out. The
washer will start pumping the used
water Into the basket. About an inch of
water WIII stay in the storage tub This
water will contain most of the so11 that
settles out.
When the washer IS finished
pumping, fresh water will flnlsh filling
the basket to the selected level
When the washer stops filling,
push the Cycle Control Knob In Add
about half the recommended amount
of detergent (See page 6 )
