Loading the Washer . . .

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.

Drop items loosely into the washtub. The bulk of the clothes rather than the weight will determine load size. Do not pack items in or wrap them around the agitator. Overloading can cause poor cleaning, excessive wrinkling, and tears.

Items should move freely through the wash water for best cleaning results. Items should rollover, sink and then reappear.

When washing very large items, do not fill washtub as full as with other loads.

Water Level

W281IE0C

W282IE0B

The water level in your washer should fit the size of your wash load. Small loads will use lower water levels. There must be enough water in the washtub to allow items to move and turn over freely.

Overloading the washtub can result in poor washing and rinsing.

Overloading may also cause wrinkling and tearing of items.

IMPORTANT: If in doubt always use a higher water level. Most average loads will require water setting of Large. Failure to have the correct volume of water relative to the load will increase the incidence of excessive lint.
