Operating Tips
Detergent
•Use either liquid or granular laundry detergent. For best results, be sure detergent is added to the washer BEFORE the load and be sure the wash water is above 60° F.
•Use the correct amount of detergent for the load size, soil level and water conditions. Use more detergent if you have hard water and very soiled loads.
If you have soft water or a lightly soiled load, use less detergent. (See manufacturer’s instructions.)
•Wipe up any detergent spills on the washer.
Loading
•For best results add the detergent to the washtub before adding the load.
•Put dry, unfolded clothes loosely in the tub, up to the top row of holes for a maximum load.
•Do not wrap large items like sheets around the agitator.
•Mix large and small items for best circulation. Wash bulky items like blankets separately.
•When laundering wrinkle free items or items of delicate construction, washable woolens or loosely knit items, never use less than the MEDIUM water level setting. This will minimize shrinkage, wrinkling and pulling of seams.
•Close lid carefully to avoid slamming.
Additional Tips
•During the spin, it is possible for the load to become unevenly distributed in the tub. If this happens, push in the control knob, open the lid, redistribute the load, close the lid and pull out the control knob. The spin will resume at the point it was interrupted.
•The washer will pause briefly throughout each cycle. These pauses are normal.
•This washer is designed so that it will not agitate or spin when the lid is open. It will, however, fill with the lid open so water is available for pretreating stains or diluting fabric softener.
•If you open the lid during a spin cycle, the washer will stop. When the lid is closed and the control dial pulled out, the washer will continue the cycle at the point it was interrupted.
