Loading And Using - GE Profile WPRE5240 Owner's Manual

Loading and using the washer.
Sorting Wash Loads
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).
Proper Use of Detergent
Add detergent as the wash basket fills with water,
before you load clothes. Using too much detergent
can be a common cause of laundry problems.
Today's detergents are formulated to be effective
without highly visible sudsing. Be sure to carefully
read and follow manufacturer's recommendations
for how much detergent to use in your wash. You
can use less detergent if you have soft water,
a smaller load, or a lightly soiled load.
Loading the Washer
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.
Always follow fabric manufacturer's care label when laundering.
I Do not wrap long items like sheets or pants around
the agitator.
I Do not wash fabrics containing flammable
materials (waxes, cleaning fluids, etc.).
I Agitation will not start with the lid up.
