energy savings, sort the laundry

carefully.

1. Sort the laundry into loads.

tion and samples of typical loads.

Try to mix large and small items for

best movement in the washer.

Washer Basket.

See detergent information on page

6 and in Section IV of the Laundry

Guide.

Add dry bleach or water condi-

tioner (not fabric softener) if used.

Follow the package directions

carefully.

3. Dilute liquid Bleach Before Add-

ing to the Washer Basket.

See the “Laundry Aids” section of

the Laundry Guide for more

information.

4. load the Washer.

Spread the load evenly. (Don’t put

all the towels on one side and a few

wash cloths on the other.) An unbal-

anced load can cause the washer to

shake during spinning.

move freely for best cleaning and

least wrinkling.

bine with soap or detergent to make

greasy stains on fabrics.
