How to load your washer
●
Load clothes dry.
●
Take a properly sorted group of
clothes and drop them loosely in
the wash basket in this order:
Large Items—like sheets. Do not
wrap around the agitator.
Small Items—like washcloths.
o
Medium Size Items—like towels.
Here is a typical full load:
3 Double Sheets
4 Long Sleeve Shirts
3 Boxer Shorts
6 Standard Pillow Cases
5 T-shirts
2 Pair Trousers
3 Handkerchiefs
This illustration, with clothes just
reaching the Filter Ring, shows a
proper load. Clothes have ample
room to move because they are not
packed down, nor wrapped around
the agitator. Clothes are loaded dry
since wet items are apt to pack down
which encourages overloading. This
size load requires a full water fill.
What is the best size load of
clothes—large, medium, or
small? Save time, energy
detergent by avoiding extra use of
the washer. Try to wash a full load
of clothes. If you can it is better to
save clothes until you have a
load. If you must wash smaller
loads, save water, energy and
detergent by adjusting the water
level for the size of the load. See
page 4.
recommendations
for washing permanent press
if you do not have a dryer.
If you are machine-washing
Permanent Press clothes that you
plan to line dry or drip-dry, use
extra care to minimize
in the wash process:
. Be careful not to overload
washer. Permanent Press clothes
must have ample room to move
freely. A Medium size Permanent
Press load is the largest that should
be washed.
. Use more water than you would
for a regular load. Use a Medium
Water Level for a Small Load; a Full
Water Level for a Medium Load.
●
Remove clothes promptly as
soon as washer stops and hang
immediately.
●
To minimize
use
Normal/Slow or Gentle/Slow
Speed.
To add items after the washer has
started.
●
Turn off the washer.
●
Add any additional articles by
submerging next to the agitator.
●
Restart the washer.
When washing stockings,
panty hose and other easily tangled
items, always handle separately. To
minimize tangling, we recommend
the use of a net laundry bag.
