For Model LA7685XM Only

The SUDS-MISER” System

Your washer has the SUDS-MISER@ System. It h&s two drain hoses.

One hose moves a portion of used wash water into a storage tub

and moves it back into the washer for use during the next wash.

The other hose carries water to another tub with an open drain, or

to a standpipe drain.

If you do not want to re-use wash water for a load, leave the

stopper out of the storage tub so the water drains away.

If you have a storabe tub big E

i a portion of the wash water.

!nough to hold 25 gallons (95

liters] of water, you can have a qualified installer convert your

washer to save more of the water.

To save wash water

Be sure the stopper is in the storage tub. The SUDS-MISER System

does not save rinse water from any cycle, nor does it save wash

water from the PERMANENT PRESSCycle.

To re-use wash water

1. Set Cycle Control Knob on

SUDS (see illustration).

2. Pull the Control Knob out. The

washer will pump most of the

water from the storage tub

back into the washer basket.

Do not add clothes at this

time. The washer will finish fill-

ing with fresh water.

3. When the water has pumped

back into the washer, push in

the Cycle Control Knob.

4. Add about

1/2

the recom-

mended amount of detergent.

5. Put in the clothes.

6. Pull out the Cycle Control Knob

to start the washer.

7. Drain the storage tub. Wafer

still in the tub will have any soil

that has settled out. The hose

is cut on an angle to leave be-

hind about an inch of wafer

and any soil from previous

wash.

If you want a cycle other than

REGULAR HEAVY to follow SUDS,

push in the Cycle Control

Knob after the water has been

pumped back into the washer.

Turn the knob right (clockwise)

to the cycle and wash time

you want.
