About washer features.
Always follow fabric manufacturer's care label when laundering.
Sorting Wash Loads
Sort by color (whites, lights, colors), soil level,
fabric type (sturdy cottons, easy care, delicates)
and whether the fabric produces lint (terry cloth,
chenille) or collects lint (velveteen, corduroy).
Proper Use of Detergent
Add detergent and start the washer before adding
clothes so that the detergent can work effectively.
To avoid any risk of overflow, add clothes before
the washer has stopped filling.
Loading the Washer
Load dry items loosely, no higher than the top row
of holes in 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 overload the wash basket
Care and Cleaning of the Washer
Wash Basket: Leave the lid open after washing to
allow moisture to evaporate. If you want to clean
the basket, use a clean soft cloth dampened with
liquid detergent, then rinse. (Do not use harsh or
gritty cleaners.)
Fill Hoses: Hoses connecting washer to faucet
should be replaced every 5 years.

Using too little or too much detergent is a
common cause of laundry problems.
You can use less detergent if you have soft water, a
smaller load or a lightly soiled load.
■ Do not wrap long items like sheets or pants around
the agitator.
■ Do not wash fabrics containing flammable materials
(waxes, cleaning fluids, etc.).
■ Agitation will not start with the lid up.
Exterior: Immediately wipe off any spills. Wipe with
damp cloth. Try not to hit surface with sharp
objects.
Long Vacations: Be sure water supply is shut off at
faucets. Drain all water from hoses if weather will
be below freezing.
