How to load your washer
A
● Load clothes dry.
● Takea properly sorted group of
clothes and drop them loosely in
the wash basket in this order:
o
Large Items—like sheets. Do not
wrap around the agitator.
Small Items—like washcloths.
Medium Size Items—like towels.
Here is a typical full load:
3 Double Sheets
6 Long Sleeve Shirts
3 Boxer Shorts
r-
i
, 6 Standard Pillow Cases
‘-” 5 T-shirts
4 Pair Trousers
6 Handkerchiefs
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 apt 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
saveclothes until you have a full
load. If you must wash smaller
loads, savewater, energy and
detergent by adjusting the water
level for the size of the load. See
page 4.
