the washer basket. When loading wet items, make sure you
set the load/water level high enough to allow the items to
move freely. Water level should just cover the clothes. To
add items after washer has started, lift the lid and submerge
additional items next to the agitator.
• Do not wrap long items like sheets or pants around the
agitator.
• Do not wash fabrics containing flammable materials
(waxes, cleaning fluids, etc.).
