Load Articles
Load items by the amount of space they take up, not by their weight. Mix large and small items in a load to get the best washing results.
Load items loosely into the wash drum. The bulk of the clothes rather than the weight will determine load size.
Load Sizes
Load sizes vary. Small and large items should be washed together to create a balanced load. If washing a large item, two bath towels should be added to even the load. Smaller loads can create an unbalanced condition and cause premature wear on the washer. Do not hesitate to fill the entire inner drum of the washer. The load will compress a great deal when wet. This allows room for proper tumbling.
Water
Water Level
The washer will automatically adjust the water level to the type and size of the load during any fill.

NOTE: One grain per U.S. gallon equals 17.1 parts per million (P.P.M.).
Water hardness is measured in grains per gallon (G.P.G.) or parts per million (P.P.M.). To learn your water hardness, call your Water Department or State Extension Service. Hard water will not remove soil as well as soft water and can result in gray, dingy laundry. To get clothes clean in hard water, use more detergent but avoid oversudsing. Do not use soap.
Hard Water May Be Softened By:
1.A mechanical water softener installed in your home.
2.The use of a packaged water conditioner.
Soft Water
Water should be soft enough to allow soaps and detergents to remove soil effectively. Clothes will be whiter and brighter when washed and rinsed in soft water.
