LOADING
/¿rt/onr Benefit
Proper loading of your washer con­
tributes to proper cleaning and fabric
care and reduces machine noise.
Drop items into washer loosely. Fill
to the top of the basket (top row of
holes). Do not wrap items around the
agitator. Items should move easily
through wash water for best cleaning
and wrinkle-free results. Items should
sink and reappear later.
■ Load washer properly and select correct
water level setting. Overloading or
packing the machine, and selecting a
setting too small for the wash load can:
• cause poor cleaning
• increase wrinkling
• create excessive lint
• wear out items faster
(because of pilling)
■ Load by the amount of space items
take up, not by their weight.
• Mix large and small items in each load.
Load evenly to maintain washer balance.
An off-balance load can make the
washer vibrate during spin.
■ Use a higher water level setting to reduce
wrinkling with permanent press clothes
and some synthetic knits. These items
should have more room to move in the
water than heavy items (towels, jeans).
' Reduce wash time by using a lower
water level se;tting. Loads with only a
few small items need less wash time.
LOADING SUGGESTIONS
For these suggested full-sized loads,
set the WATER LEVEL Selector to the
highest water level setting.
