Proper Use of Detergent
Add detergent before adding clothes so that the detergent can
work effectively. Follow the detergent package directions. Using too
little detergent is a common cause of laundry problems. Use more
detergent if you have hard water, large loads, greasy or oily soils or
lower water temperature.
Loading the Washer
Load dry items loosely, no higher than the top row of holes in the
washer tub. 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, push in Cycle knob and submerge additional items next
to the agitator. Close the lid and pull Cycle knob out to restart.
Do not wrap large items like sheets around the agitator.
Do not wash fabrics containing flammable materials (waxes, cleaning fluids, etc.).
Washer will not start with the lid up.
