Loading And Using The Washer - Hotpoint HNXRP070 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, push in Cycle
Dial and submerge additional items next to the
agitator. Close the lid and pull Cycle Dial out
to restart.

precaution the washer will not agitate or spin.
