The Agitator Cap or Fabric Softener Dispenser

The agitator cap 

fits into the top of the

agitator. If it accidentally comes off, simply
put it back on.

The fabric softener dispenser 

automatically

releases liquid fabric softener at the proper
time during the cycle. 

Do not stop the washer during the first spin.
This will cause the dispenser to empty too
soon.

To use, follow these steps:

Make sure dispenser is securely
attached to agitator.

Use only liquid fabric softener. 
Pour into dispenser, using amount
recommended on package.

Never pour fabric softener directly on
clothes. It may stain them.

Add water to dispenser until it reaches

the maximum fill line.

About washer features.

Loading and using the washer. 

Always follow fabric manufacturer’s care label when laundering.

Sorting Wash Loads

Proper Use of Detergent

Add detergent and start the washer before adding
clothes so that the detergent can work effectively.
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.

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 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.

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).
