USING THE WASHER CONTROLS
Step 4
LOAD THE CLOTHES WASHER
•The tub can be loaded completely full with dry unfolded clothes. However, do not pack the tub tightly.
•Overloading may reduce washing efficiency and possibly cause creasing or wrinkling of the load.
•For best cleaning results when washing a large bulky item that does not completely fill the tub, (such as a rug) add a few towels to complete the load.This will help to balance the load.
•To load a forgotten item immediately after the clothes washer has started, press the
START/STOP button.The door will remain unlocked for approximately 3 minutes into the start of the cycle. Add the item(s), close the door and press the START/STOP button to resume the cycle.
•Once the door has locked, it is possible to load a forgotten item. Press the START/STOP button and wait approximately 2 minutes for the “Door Locked” indicator to turn off. Open the door, add the item(s), close the door and press the START/STOP button to resume the cycle.
•Add laundry detergent on top of the load in the tub, then place additives in the properly marked dispensers. (See Washer Features page 6).
