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.
