Your Roper washer is designed for ease of operation and maximum washing efficiency. The following
will help you quickly learn to operate your machine.

Starting your washer

Add measured detergent. Then place a sorted
load in the washer before starting. See pages 9
and 10 for additional “Before you wash” informa-
tion.

Select a load size

Turn the selector to point at a setting that
describes the size of load you want to wash. Set
the selector on EX SMALL (a few small items),
SMALL, MEDIUM or LARGE (a full load).
NOTE:
For best washing results, items should
move freely in the washer. Do not overload the
washer or choose a water level that is too low for
your wash load.
For best results with permanent press clothes,
use the LARGE water level setting.
Reduce wash time when using the EX SMALL
water level setting. Loads wfth only a few small
items need less wash time for best results.

Select a water temperature

Match the water temperature to the type of fabric
and soils being washed. The top temperature is
the wash selection and the bottom temperature is
the rinse selection.

Water temperature tips

Press or Knits Gentle cycles.
l
For heavily soiled permanent press or knit
clothes, pre-wash or pre-soak before washing
in warm water.

press fabrics.
