How to load your washer
Special recommendations
for washing permanent press
if you do not have a dryer•
If you are machine-washing
Permanent Press clothes that you
plan to line dry or &ip-dry, use
extra care to minimize wrinkling
in the wash process:
• Be careful not to overload
washer. Pernmnent Press clothes
nmst have ample room to move
freely. A Medium size Permanent
Press load is the largest that should
be washed.
• Use more water than you would
for a regular load. Use a 3/4 Full
Water Level for a Small Load; a Full
Water Level for a Medium Load.
• Remove clothes promptly as
soon as washer stops and
hang
immediately.
• To minimize wrinkling, use
Gentle/Slow Wash/Spin Speed.
• Load clothes dry.
• Take a properly sorted group of
clothes and &op them loosely in
the wash basket in this order:
O
Large Items like sheets. Do not
wrap around the agitator.
O
Small Items like washcloths.
O
Medium Size Items_ike towels.
Here is a typical fldl load:
3 Double Sheets
4 Long Sleeve Shirts
3 Boxer Shorts
6 Standard Pillowcases
5 T-shirts
2 Pair Trousers
3 Handkerchiet;
This illustration, with clothes just
reaching the Filter Ring, shows a
proper load. Clothes have ample
room to move because they are not
packed down, nor wrapped around
the agitator. Clothes are loaded dry
since wet items are apt to pack down
which encourages overloading. This
size load requires a full water fill.
What is the best size load of
clothes--large, medium, or
small? Save time, energy and
detergent by avoiding extra use of
the washer. Try to wash a full load
of clothes. If you can it is better to
save clothes until you have a full
load. If you nmst wash smaller
loads, save water, energy and
detergent by adjusting the water
level for the size of the load. See
page 4.
To add items after the washer has
started•
• Turn off the washer.
• Add any additional articles by
submerging next to the agitator.
• Restart the washer.
NOTE: When washing stockings,
panty hose and other easily tangled
items, always handle separately. To
minimize tangling, we recommend
the use of a net laundry bag.
