SEPARATELY. Wet down gives off an odor which maybe 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
● Load clothes dry.
This illustration, with clothes just
reaching the Clothes Retaining
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.
● Take a properly sorted group of
clothes and drop them loosely in
the wash basket in this order:
items—like sheets. Do
not wrap around the agitator.
Small items—like
washcloths.
Medium size items—like
towels.
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.
DO NOT OVERLOAD YOUR
WASHER.
● Try to mix large and small items

Stain Removal Hint—Using Chlorine Bleach for White
Fabrics
Mix 1/4 cup (60 ml) chlorine bleach with one
(3.8 liters) of cool
water—approximately
a sink or pan. Soak stained area
for 5 minutes and launder in washer.
The Case of the “Invisible”
If these stains are not completely removed in the wash,
the oily spots may pick up dirt from the wash water.
Then they will become very visible and you may think
they were caused by the wash cycle itself.
Food or cooking oils on your synthetic garments
may cause stains which are virtually invisible and
which you may not notice as you put your clothes
into the washer.
Once These
Become Visible, How Can You Remove Them?
● Rub in undiluted liquid detergent and let stand 30 minutes.
● Rewash using hottest water the fabric can stand.
How Can You Prevent These “After-You-Wash”
● Increase the amount of detergent normally used.
● Increase water temperature where fabric will permit.
● Wash synthetic garments more often.

Sort and Load the Clothes
If you do mix various types of fabrics in your load,
set the controls for the lighter-weight fabrics and
remove when dry. Reset controls for the remaining
heavier fabrics.
Good sorting for the dryer begins at the washer.
Generally, if clothes are sorted right for washing,
they’re sorted right for drying. See the How to Sort
the Clothes section.

The Difference Between Automatic and Timed Drying
Automatic Drying
Timed Drying. When
the Timed Cycles, you
select the number of minutes you wish the dryer to
run and it turns off at the end of this time period. The
last 5 minutes of this cycle are without heat. This
helps make the load easier to handle.
When using the Automatic cycles, the
Automatic
Control system continually senses
the temperature of the air in the dryer drum. Wet
laundry keeps the air cool. When laundry is dry
enough (and the drum air warm enough) the heat
turns off. When the air cools, the heat turns back on.
This off and on cycling may happen a number of
times (depending on the fabric, load size and Cycle
Selector setting). The Cycle Selector advances (when

These are sometimes called “Invisible Stains” because you may not notice them before
washing clothes. However, if oily soils are not completely removed in wash cycle, the
oily spots may pick up dirt from the wash water. The spots will then be very visible.
They are not caused by the washer. Wash synthetic garments as soon as possible after
wearing. Use more detergent than normal and hottest water fabric can stand. If spots
