Operating Tips

For detailed information on sorting, pretreating stains, etc., see the enclosed Laundering Tips pamphlet.
Detergent
• Use either liquid or granular laundry detergent. For
best results, be sure detergent is added to the
washer BEFORE the load and be sure the wash
water is above 60 ° F.
• Use the correct amount of detergent for the load
size, soil level and water conditions. Use more deter-
gent if you have hard water and very soiled loads.
If you have soft water or a lightly soiled load, use
less detergent. (See manufacturer's instructions.)
• Wipe up any detergent spills on the washer.
Loading
• Put dry, unfolded clothes loosely in the tub, up to
the top row of holes for a maximum load.
• Do not wrap large items like sheets around the agi-
tator.
• Mix large and small items for best circulation. Wash
bulky items like blankets separately.
• When laundering wrinkle free items or items of deli-
cate construction, washable woolens or loosely knit
items, never use less than the MEDIUM water level
setting. This will minimize shrinkage, wrinkling and
pulling of seams.
• For best results, add the detergent to washtub before
adding the load.
• Close lid carefully to avoid slamming.

Additional Tips

• The washer will pause briefly throughout each cycle.
These pauses are normal.
• This washer is designed so that it will not spin or
agitate when the lid is open. It will fill with the lid
open so water is available for pretreating stains or
diluting fabric softener.
• If you open the lid during a spin cycle, the washer
will stop. When the lid is closed and the control dial
pulled out, the washer will continue the cycle at the
point it was interrupted.
