HOW TO LOAD YOUR WASHER

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
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 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 Started
Turn off the washer by pushing in the Cycle
Selector knob.
Add any additional articles by submerging them next
to the agitator.
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 drip-dry, use extra care to
minimize wrinkling in the wash process:
Remove clothes promptly as soon as washer stops
and hang immediately.
If you can select a water level, use more water than
you would for a regular load. Use a medium water
level for a small load. Use an extra large water level
for a medium load.

in each machine load for better
washing action.
Wash large items (blankets, bed
spreads, mattress pads, etc.)
separately.
If machine is overloaded, you
may experience oversudsing or
out of balance conditions.
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.
Be careful not to overload washer. Permanent press
clothes must have ample room to move freely. A
medium size permanent press load is the largest
that should be washed.
