Step 1

LOAD THE WASHER

Control features vary by model.

•The tub can be loaded completely full with dry, unfolded clothes. However, do not pack the tub tightly.

•Overloading may reduce washing efficiency and possibly cause creasing or wrinkling of the load.

•When washing big, bulky items or a couple of small items that do not fill the tub completely, such as a rug or two sweaters, a few towels should be added for improved tumbling and spin performance.

•To assure good cleaning results, it is very important to avoid overloading the washer when washing heavily soiled loads.

•To load a forgotten item, press the START/PAUSE pad, add the item, close the door and press the START/ PAUSE pad again. After a 15 to 30 second pause, the cycle will resume.

•Close door carefully to avoid slamming.

NOTE: To assure that your additional items get clean, do not wait more than five minutes after the cycle has started to add the item.
