Loading the Washer

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 wash-
ing results.
• Load items loosely into the wash drum. The bulk of the clothes
rather than the weight will determine load size.
Bulky Items
• Use the BULKY cycle for bulky items such as blankets and com-
forters. The cycle includes gentle agitation to clean items deli-
cately and thoroughly. The Second Rinse Option may be selec-
ted to ensure complete removal of soap residue. A final spin ex-
tracts the moisture at a lower speed to maintain the load' s bal-
ance and minimize wear to the articles.
Load Sizes
• Load sizes vary. Small and large items should be washed to-
gether 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 Level
• The washer will automatically adjust the water level to the type
and size of the load during any fill.
Wash Temperature
Hot
Hot water is the most effective for cleaning, but it is not recom-
mended for all fabric types (read labels).
Warm
The Warm Wash is useful for providing a thorough cleaning on light
and moderately soiled clothing without damaging fabric or adding
to color fading. Warm water also reduces wrinkling. Use with non-
colorfast or dark colors, permanent press, silks, woolens, nylon, and
acrylic.
Cool
The Cool Wash temperature is useful for washing permanent press
fabrics.
Cold
The Cold Wash is ideal for delicate items. Although its cleaning abili-
ties are not as great as with hot or warm water, it is useful for col-
ors that bleed easily and for sensitive fabrics.

DO NOT COPY or TRANSMIT
All rinses use cold water. It is the most beneficial for fabrics. Cold
rinses reduce wrinkling and color fading. In addition, cold rinses will
save money and energy.
NOTE: In wash temperatures colder than 16°C [60°F],
detergents do not dissolve well. This may cause ineffec-
tive cleaning, or lint and residue to form.
NOTE: Always follow manufacturer's care labels.

Energy
You can save energy when washing by following a few guidelines:
1. Heating water accounts for the greatest energy expense when
washing. Save on heating water by using warm or cold washes.
2. Wash full loads, but do not overload.
3. Use Soak option for heavily soiled items to reduce the need for
higher soil level selections.
