Kenmore Two-speed automatic washers Owner's Manual & Installation Instructions page 25

LOADING • Reduce wash time by using a lower
water level setting. Loads with only a
few small items need less wash time.
Proper loading of your washer con-
tributes to proper cleaning and fabric
care and reduces machine noise.
• Drop items into washer loosely. Fill
to the top of the basket (top row of
holes), Do not wrap items around the
agitator. Items should move easily
through wash water for best cleaning
and wrinkle-free results, Items should
sink and reappear later.
• Load washer properly and select correct
water level setting. Overloading or pack-
ing the machine, and selecting a setting
too small for the wash load can:
- cause poor cleaning
- increase wrinkling
- create excessive lint
- wear out items faster
(because of pilling)
• Load by the amount of space items take
up, not by their weight.
• Mix large and small items in each load.
Load evenly to maintain washer bal-
ance. An off-balance load can make the
washer vibrate during spin.
• Use a higher water level setting to re*
duce wrinkling with permanent press
clothes and some synthetic knits. These
items should have more room to move
in the water than heavy items (towels,
jeans).
LOADING SUGGESTIONS
For these suggested full-sized loads,
set the WATER LEVEL control to the
highest setting.
