*Down-Filled Garments

Wash frequently to fluff up the down and retain the garment’s warmth. WASH

 

SEPARATELY. Wet down gives off an odor which may be absorbed by other garments.

 

Odor disappears when garment is dry. Treat heavily soiled areas with liquid detergent

 

or a paste made of water and powdered detergent. Close zippers. Wash 2 or 3 garments

 

at a time or add towels to balance. GARMENT MUST BE TUMBLE-DRIED.

 

 

 

 

 

 

HOW TO LOAD YOUR WASHER

This illustration, with clothes just reaching the Clothes Retaining Ring, shows a proper load. Clothes have ample room to move because they are not packed down, nor wrapped around the agitator. Clothes are loaded dry since wet items are likely to pack down which encourages overloading. This size load requires a full water fill.

What is the best size load of clothes—large, medium or small? Save time, energy and detergent by avoiding extra use of the washer. Try to wash a full load of clothes. If you can, it is better to save clothes until you have a full load. If you must wash smaller loads, save water, energy and detergent by adjusting the water level for the size of the load.

See Operating the Washer.

•Load clothes dry.

•Take a properly sorted group of clothes and drop them loosely in the wash basket in this order:

Large items—like sheets. Do not wrap around the agitator.

Small items—like washcloths.

Medium size items—like towels.

DO NOT OVERLOAD YOUR WASHER.

•Try to mix large and small items in each machine load for better washing action.

•Wash large items (blankets, bed spreads, mattress pads, etc.) separately.

•If machine is overloaded, you may experience oversudsing or out-of-balance conditions.
