Loading the Washer

NOTE: Always add detergent first.

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.

Drop items loosely into the washtub. The bulk 
of the clothes rather than the weight will 
determine load size. Do not pack items in or 
wrap them around the agitator. Overloading 
can cause poor cleaning, excessive wrinkling 
and tears.

Items should move freely through the wash 
water for best cleaning results. Items should 
rollover, sink and then reappear. 

When washing very large items, do not fill 
washtub as full as with other loads.

Water Level

The water level in your washer should fit the 
size of your wash load. Small loads will use 
lower water levels. There must be enough 
water in the washtub to allow items to move 
and turn over freely.

Overloading the washtub can result in poor 
washing and rinsing.

Overloading may also cause wrinkling and 
tearing of items. 

IMPORTANT: If in doubt, always use a higher water 
level. Most average loads will require a water 
setting between Medium and Extra Large. Failure 
to have the correct volume of water relative to 
the load will increase the incidence of excessive 
lint.

NOTE: Starting January 2009, the Department 
of Energy (DOE) mandated new efficiency 
standards which resulted in reduced water levels 
in the topload washer.

Reset (OPTIONAL) 
Use the RESET if agitation has started and 
more water is needed for the load.

Do not wash or dry items soiled with 

vegetable or cooking oils. Some oils 

may remain after washing and may 

cause the fabric to catch on fire by 

itself.
