The

SUDS-MISER ’ System

Your washer has the SUDS-MISER System. It has two drain

hoses One hose moves used wash water into a storage tub and

moves it back Into the washer when it’s called for. The other hose

carries water to another tub with an open drain, or to a stand-

pipe drain

If you do not want to re-use wash water, leave the stopper out

of the storage tub so the water drains away

S’IORAGE STANDPIPE SIORAGE DRAIN

TUB TUB

If you have a storage tub big enough to hold at least 20

gallons (76 liters), you can have a qualified installer convert

your washer to save all the wash 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

Push in the Cycle Control Knob

Pull the Control Knob out.

The washer will pump most of the

settled out. The hose is cut on an

angle to leave about an inch
