Loading and using the washer.
Always follow fabric manufacturer’s care label when laundering.
Sort by color (whites, lights, colors), soil level,
fabric type (sturdy cottons, easy care, delicates),
and whether the fabric produces lint (terry
cloth, chenille), or collects lint (velveteen,
corduroy).
Sorting Wash Loads
Add detergent and start the washer before
adding clothes so that the detergent can
work effectively. Using too little or too much
detergent is a common cause of laundry
problems. You can use less detergent if you have soft water,
a smaller load, or a lightly soiled load.
Proper Use of Detergent
Load dry items loosely, no higher than the top
row of holes in the washer basket. When loading
wet items make sure you set the load/water level
high enough to allow the items to move freely.
Water level should just cover the clothes. To add
items after washer has started, lift the lid and
submerge additional items next to the agitator. ■ Do not wrap long items like sheets or pants
around the agitator.
■ Do not wash fabrics containing flammable
materials (waxes, cleaning fluids, etc.).
■ Agitation will not start with the lid up.
