Proper Useof Detergent
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.
Loadingthe 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.
• Do not wrap long items like sheetsor pants
around the agitator.
• Do not wash fabrics containing flammable
materials (waxes, deaning fluids, etc.).
• Agitation will not start with the lid up.
