Sorting Wash Loads
Sort by color (whites, lights, colors), soil level,
fabric type (sturdy cottons, easy care, delicates),
and whether the fabric produces lint (terry cloth,
chenille) or collects lint (velveteen, corduroy).
Proper Use of Detergent
Using too much detergent is a common cause
of laundry problems. Today’s detergents are
formulated to be effective without highly visible
sudsing. Be sure to carefully read and follow
manufacturer’s recommendations for how
much detergent to use in your wash.
You can use less detergent if you have soft water,
a smaller load or a lightly soiled load.
Loading the Washer
Load dry items loosely, no higher than the
top row of holes in the washer basket.
When loading wet items, make sure you set
the load/water level high enough to allow
the items to move freely. Water level should just
cover the clothes. To add items after washer has
started, lift the lid and submerge additional items
next to the agitator.
■
Do not wrap long items like sheets or pants around
the agitator.
■
Do not wash fabrics containing flammable materials
(waxes, cleaning fluids, etc.).
■
Agitation will not start with the lid up.
