For best washing results and

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.

4. Pour liquid Bleach into the

Dispenser.

See page 5 and the “Laundry

Aids” section of the Laundry Guide for

more information.

5. Add Diluted Fabric Softener only

to the Deep Rinse Cycle.

. DO NOT ADD FABRIC SOFTENER TO

THE WASH. Fabric softeners can com-

bine with soap or detergent to make

greasy stains on fabrics.
