HOW TO LOAD YOUR WAS~R
This illustration, with clothes just
reaching the Clothes Retaining
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 likely to pack down which
encourages overloading. This size
load requires a full water fill.
What is the best size load of
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 must wash smaller
loads, save water, energy and
detergent by adjusting the water
level for the size of the load. See
Operating Instructions.
To Add Items After the Washer Has S@rted

Carefully remove the Filter-Flo pan.
Add any additional articles by submerging them next
to the agitator.
