SUGGESTED FABRIC AND CYCLE SETTINGS 

FOR YOUR WASHER

Cycle Suggested

For Clothes Load/Fabrics such as:

Permanent Press & Knits

blends with cottons

washing is recommended*

Special Instructions

*Down-filled garments

Wash frequently to fluff up the down and retain the garment’s warmth. WASH 
SEPARATELY. Wet down gives off an odor which may be absorbed by other garments.
Odor disappears when garment is dry. Treat heavily soiled areas with liquid detergent 
or a paste made of water and powdered detergent. Close zippers. Wash 2 or 3 garments 
at a time or add towels to balance. GARMENT MUST BE TUMBLE DRIED.

HOW TO LOAD YOUR WASHER

This illustration, with clothes just
reaching the Clothes Retaining
Ring, shows a proper load. Clothes
have ample room to move because
they are not packed down, nor
wrapped around the agitator.
Clothes are loaded dry since wet
items are likely to pack down
which encourages overloading.
This size load requires a full 
water fill.

What is the best size load of
clothes—large, medium, or
small? Save time, energy and
detergent by avoiding extra use of
the washer. Try to wash a full load
of clothes. If you can it is better to
save clothes until you have a full
load. If you must wash smaller
loads, save water, energy and
detergent by adjusting the water
level for the size of the load. See
Operating Instructions.

• Load clothes dry.

• Take a properly sorted group of

clothes and drop them loosely in
the wash basket in this order:

Large items—like sheets. Do 
not wrap around the agitator.

Small items—like 
washcloths.

Medium size items—like 
towels.

DO NOT OVERLOAD YOUR
WASHER.

• Try to mix large and small items

in each machine load for better
washing action.

• Wash large items (blankets, bed

spreads, mattress pads, etc.)
separately. 

• If machine is overloaded, you

may experience oversudsing or
out of balance conditions.
