crayon or tube of lipstick in a wash load can
cause stains.

LOAD THE WASHER
Mix large and small items in a load to get the best
results. Load the items loosely into the wash drum.
The bulk of the clothes, rather than the weight of the
load will determine the load size. Load sizes will vary.
Small and large items should be washed together to
create a balanced load. Do not hesitate to fill the
entire wash drum of the washer. It is recommended,
for best results, that the drum be loaded, by fabric
type, as follows:
Full Load- Cotton and Linens
Load - Permanent Press, Synthetic Blends and
Poly Knits.
Load - Woolens, Delicates, Silk
The term full load, above, means packing the drum
until it is filled with dry, unfolded clothes, without
packing it tightly. If necessary, use the SOAK cycle,
(7), for heavily soiled items.
