Loading your

For best washing results and

energy savings, sort the laundry

carefully

I. 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 at typical loads

• Try to mix large and small items for

best movement in *he washer

2. Measure Detergent; Add to

Washer Basket.

• See detergent intormahon on page

6and in Section lV of the Laundry

Guide

' • Add dry bleach or water condi-

tioner (not fabric softener) if used

Follow the package directions

carefully.

3. Load the Washer.

• Spread the load evenly (Don't pul

all the towels on one side and a few

wash clolhs on lhe other.) An unbal-

anced load can causelhe washer to

shake during spinning

• Load without packing so items can

move freely lor best cleaning and

least wrinkling.

4, Pour Liquid Bleach into the

Dispenser,

• Seepage5 and the Laundry

Aids section of the Laundry Guide for

bine with soap or detergent to make

greasy stains on fabrics
