Loading the Washer

Load Articles

Load items by the amount of space they take up, not

by their weight. Mix large and small items in a load to

get the best washing results.

Load items loosely into the wash drum. The bulk of

the clothes rather than the weight will determine load

size.

Load Sizes

Load sizes vary. Small and large items should be

washed together to create a balanced load. If washing

a large item, two bath towels should be added to even

the load. Smaller loads can create an unbalanced

condition and cause premature wear on the washer. Do

not hesitate to fill the entire inner drum of the washer.

The load will compress a great deal when wet. This

allows room for proper tumbling.

Water

Water Level

The washer will automatically adjust the water level to

the type and size of the load during any fill.

Water Hardness

Hard water will not remove soil as well as soft water

and can result in gray, dingy laundry. To get clothes

clean in hard water, use more detergent but avoid

oversudsing. Do not use soap.

Hard Water May Be Softened By:

1. A mechanical water softener installed in your

home.

2. The use of a packaged water conditioner.

Soft Water

Water should be soft enough to allow soaps and

detergents to remove soil effectively. Clothes will be

whiter and brighter when washed and rinsed in soft

water.

Energy

You can save energy when washing by following a few

guidelines:

1. Heating water accounts for the greatest energy

expense when washing. Save on heating water by

using cold rinses.

2. Wash full loads, but do not overload.

3. Soak heavily soiled items to reduce wash times.

4. Select a shorter wash time for lightly soiled

items.
