Loading and using the washer. Always follow fabric manufacturer’s care label when laundering.
Sorting Wash Loads
Sort by color (whites, lights, colors), soil level, fabric type (sturdy cottons, easy care, delicates), and whether the fabric produces lint (terry cloth, chenille), or collects lint (velveteen, corduroy).
Proper Use of Detergent
Add detergent as the wash basket fills with water, before you load clothes. Using too much detergent can be a common cause of laundry problems. Today’s detergents are formulated to be effective without highly visible sudsing. Be sure to carefully read and follow manufacturer’s recommendations for how much detergent to use in your wash. You can use less detergent if you have soft water,
a smaller load, or a lightly soiled load.
Loading the Washer
Safety Instructions
Operating Instructions
Load dry items loosely, no higher than the top row of holes in the washer basket. When loading wet items make sure you set the load/water level high enough to allow the items to move freely. Water level should just cover the clothes. To add items after washer has started, lift the lid and submerge additional items next to the agitator.
■Do not wrap long items like sheets or pants around the agitator.
■Do not wash fabrics containing flammable materials (waxes, cleaning fluids, etc.).
■Agitation will not start with the lid up.
