Operating Instructions
Load the Washer
• The tub can be loaded completely full with dry,
unfolded clothes. However,
do not
pack the tub
tightly.
• Overloading may reduce washing efficiency and
possibly cause creasing or wrinkling of the load.
• When washing big, bulky items or a couple of small
items that do not fill the tub completely, such as a
rug or two sweaters, a few towels should be added
for improved tumbling and spin performance.
Note:
To assure that your additional items get clean,
do not
wait more than five minutes after the cycle
has started to add the item
.
STEP

• When washing heavily soiled loads, it is very

• To load a forgotten item, press the

pad,
add the item, close the door and press the
Start/Pause
pad again. After a 15 to 30 second
pause, the cycle will resume.

performance and conservation of water and energy.
Fill time will vary depending upon water pressure.
