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 Instructions.
—
● 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.

may experience
oversudsing
or
out of balance conditions.
