Washing Procedures

(continued)
6. Add laundry load to washer.
• Dry load level should not be higher than the top of agitator vanes.
Do not overload the washer.
• Do not put items on top of agitator or wrap them around it. Load items evenly.
• Combine large and small items in a load. Load large items first. Large items
should not be more than half the total wash load.
• When washing a single heavy item, add 1 or 2 towels to balance the load.
7. If desired, add liquid fabric softener to Fabric Softener
Dispenser
(available on some models).
For models with a built-in dispenser (see picture to the left):
1. Add liquid softener to the dispenser, following fabric softener label directions.
2. Add water to bring liquid level to fill line on dispenser cap.
3. Remove the dispenser from the agitator after each use. Rinse both cap and cup
with warm water. Replace dispenser in the agitator.
NOTE: To separate cap from cup, put thumb into dispenser and push against side
of cup (see picture to the left). After cleaning, push cap and cup firmly together.
Replace dispenser by lining up the ribs and grooves and snapping it into position.
If fabric softener builds up in or around the dispenser, clean the area with hot water.
DO NOT REMOVE SERVICE CAP FOUND INSIDE THE AGITATOR POST.
For models without a fabric softener dispenser, follow fabric softener label
directions. Add diluted fabric softener to the final rinse. Do not pour fabric
softener directly on the wash load.
8. Select cycle and settings according to type, size, and soil level
of each load .
See Operating Instructions for your specific model controls.
9. Start the washer.
Close the washer lid and pull out the cycle selector knob. The washer will not
agitate or spin with the lid open.
• To stop the washer, push in the cycle selector knob.
• To change a cycle, push in the cycle selector knob. Turn it clockwise to the
desired setting. Pull out the knob to restart the washer.
10. Remove items when the cycle is completed.
For your safety, the lid locks when the tub is spinning. It will remain locked for 2-
3 minutes after the tub stops spinning.
• To open the lid during a spin, push in the cycle selector knob and wait about
2-3 minutes for the lid lock to release. Do not force open the locked lid.
Place washed items in automatic
care label. Excess wrinkling, color transfer or odors may develop in items left in the
washer after the cycle has ended.
To avoid serious personal injury, do not operate washer if safety lid lock
is missing or damaged.
