energy savings, sort the laundry

carefully.

1. Sort the laundry into loads.

Group the laundry into loads that

can be washed and dried together.

See the Laundry Guide for informa-

tion and samples of typical loads.

Try to mix large and small items for

best movement in the washer.

2. Measure Detergent; Add to

Washer Basket.

See detergent information on page

6 and in Section IV of the Laundry

Guide.

3. load the Washer.

Load without packing so items can

move freely for best cleaning and

least wrinkling.

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.

tions when using detergents,

bleaches, softeners and other

laundry aids. For more informa-

tion, see pages 16-22 in your

Detergent

Information

Detergents and soaps clean

by loosening soil, and by holding It in

the water so It drains away. If not

enough detergent is used, soil and

lint can settle back on the Items in

the load.

SOAP

works best In soft water

(O-4 grains hardness). In harder water,

both the wash and rinse water should

be softened. Use enough soap to

make about 1% to 2 inches (3.8 to 5.5

cm) of suds.

DETERGENT

works in hard or

soft water. Package directions are

usually based on soft water and

washers with normal-size tubs.

Use

more detergent..

I. for hard water.

for heavy greasy or

oily soils

3. If the detergent is low

phosphate.

4. for cold-water washes

DETERGENT SUDS.

There are

high, normal and low sudslng pow-

dered detergents. If the recom-

mended amount of detergent makes

too much suds, switch to a lower

sudslng brand.

DO NOT REDUCE THE

AMOUNT

of detergent.

Use the followlng chart as

beginning suggestions for powdered

and liquid detergent amounts See

If You Need

Service or

Assistance, We

Suggest You Follow

These Four Steps:

1. Before calling for assistance...

Performance problems often

result from little things you can find and

fix yourself without tools of any kind.

IF YOUR WASHER DOES NOT FILL:

Is the power supply cord plugged in?

Are both water faucets open?

Is a fuse blown or circuit-breaker

tripped?

Are the water supply hoses kinked?

Is the Cycle Control Knob set and

pulled out?

Are the water inlet hose filter screens

clean?

IF YOUR WASHER DOES NOT SPIN:

Is the lid closed?

Is the power supply cord plugged in?

Is a fuse blown or circuit-breaker

tripped?

IF YOUR WASHER STOPS DURING

A CYCLE:

Remember, the washer pauses briefly

throughout each cycle. These pauses

are normal.

MAKE SURE THE DRAIN HOSE IS HIGHER

THAN THE WATER LEVEL IN THE WASHER.

IF IT ISN’T...

The washer may seem to be draining

during wash and rinse cycles.

Water can siphon out. (See Installation

Instructtons.)
