Loading your
Washer
For best washing results and
energy savings, sort the laundry
oarefully.
1. Sort the Laundry into Loads.
• Group the laundry into loads that
can be washed and dried together.
See the Laundry Guide for informa­
tion and samples of typical loads.
• Try to mix large and small items for
best movement in the washer.
2. Measure Detergent; Add to
Washer Basket.
• See detergent information on page
6 and in Section IV of the Laundry
Guide.
• Add dry bleach or water condi­
tioner (not fabric softener) if used.
Follow the package directions
carefully.
3. Load the Washer.
• Spread the load evenly. (Don't put
all the towels on one side and a few
wash cloths on the other.) An unbal­
anced load can cause the washerto
shake during spinning.
• Load without packing so items can
move freely for best cleaning and
least wrinkling.
4. Pour Liquid Bieach into the
Dispenser.
• See page 5 and the "Laundry
Aids" section of the Laundry Guide for
more information.
5. Add Diiuted Fabric Softener oniy
to the Deep Rinse Cycie.
• DO NOT ADD FABRIC SOFTENER TO
THE WASH.
Fabric softeners can com­
bine with soap or detergent to make
greasy stains on fabrics.
This automatic washer has cycle
settings with different agitation and spin
speeds for different fabric types. For
example, the REGULAR FIEAVY Cycle
has high agitation and high spin
speeds. The PERMANENT PRESS Cycle,
has high agitation speeds, but low spin
speeds.
The washer has a LOAD SIZE
SELECTOR that lets you adjust the water
level to match the size of the load.
It has a TEMPERATURE SELECTOR.
You oan select the wash and rinse water
temperatures best for the amount of
soil and fabric type in each load
Sections in this Use & Care Guide
go into detail on the "what and why"
of each setting. Read this and the
Laun­
dry Guide carefully to get the best
cleaning results.
