Proper Use of Detergent

Always add detergent before adding clothes so that the detergent can work effectively. Follow the detergent package directions. Using too little detergent is a common cause of laundry problems. Use more detergent if you have hard water, large loads, greasy or oily soils or lower water temperature.

Loading the Washer

Load dry items loosely, no higher than the top row of holes in the washer tub. 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 large items like sheets around the agitator.

Do not wash fabrics containing flammable materials (waxes, cleaning fluids, etc.). Washer will not start with the lid up.
