Use and Care

Pretreat

Pretreat shirt collars and cuffs with a pre-wash product
or liquid detergent when placing them in the washer.
Before washing, treat special stains with bar soap,
liquid detergent or a paste of water and granular
detergent. Use a pretreat soil and stain remover.

Load Articles

Load items by the amount of space they take up, not by
their weight. Mix large and small items in a load to get
the best washing results.
Load items loosely into the wash drum. The bulk of
the clothes rather than the weight will determine load
size.

Load Sizes

Load sizes vary. Small and large items should be
washed together to create a balanced load. If washing
a large item, two bath towels should be added to even
the load. Smaller loads can create an unbalanced
condition and cause premature wear on the washer. Do
not hesitate to fill the entire inner drum of the washer.
The load will compress a great deal when wet. This
allows room for proper tumbling.

Water

Water Level

The washer will automatically adjust the water level to
the type and size of the load during any fill.

Water Hardness

SOFT WATER
10 grains per U.S. gallon
MODERATELY HARD WATER
20 grains per U.S. gallon
HARD WATER
50 grains per U.S. gallon
VERY HARD WATER
Over 50 grains per U.S. gallon
Figure 4
NOTE: One grain per U.S. gallon equals 17.1 parts
per million (P.P.M.).
Water hardness is measured in grains per gallon
(G.P.G.) or parts per million (P.P.M.). To learn your
water hardness, call your Water Department or State
Extension Service. Hard water will not remove soil as
well as soft water and can result in gray, dingy laundry.
To get clothes clean in hard water, use more detergent
but avoid oversudsing. Do not use soap.
Hard Water May Be Softened By:
1. A mechanical water softener installed in your
home.
2. The use of a packaged water conditioner.
Soft Water
Water should be soft enough to allow soaps and
detergents to remove soil effectively. Clothes will be
whiter and brighter when washed and rinsed in soft
water.
