HOW TO LOAD YOUR WASHER
This illustration, with clothes just
reaching the Filter Ring shows a
proper load. Clothes have ample
room to move because they are not

What is the best size load of
clothes—large, medium, or
small? Save time, energy and
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 full
load. If you must wash smaller
loads, save water, energy and
detergent by adjusting the water
level for the size of the load. See
Operating Instructions.

Take a properly sorted group of
clothes and drop them loosely in
the wash basket in this order:

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.
NOTE: 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.
