Extra Rinse can also be set as an independent cycle—for example, to rinse and spin clothes that have been in the wash basket longer than normal.

For modern fabrics with heavy or oily soil. A second rinse is provided to help remove the additional detergent that is required for these soils. See page 15.

If colorfast is unusually soiled, use hot water. Use maximum detergent recommended in guide on page 15. Use Extra Cleaning, Large or Small Setting depending on load size. See Page 5. Use Extra Rinse if desired.

Use maximum detergent recommended in guide on page 15.

Small loads reduce wrinkling. Use maximum detergent recommended in guide on page 15. Use Extra Cleaning cycles—see page 5. Use Extra Rinse if desired.

If unusually soiled, use hot water. Use maximum detergent recommended in guide on page 15. For heavy or oily soil on sturdy garments, use Extra Cleaning, Large or Small Setting depending on load size—see page 5. Use Extra Rinse if desired. Small loads reduce wrinkling.

Wash only if recommended by the garment manufacturer. Follow instructions carefully.

Wash in your washer only if recommended by the garment manufacturer.

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 paste made of water and granular detergent. Close zippers. Wash 2 or 3 at a time or add towels to balance. GARMENT MUST BE TUMBLE DRIED.

You may prefer to use a mild-type detergent. Do baby clothes separately. Pretreat spots. Rinse diapers, nightgowns, pads and sheets after use. Keep diapers in a covered pail of cold water and conditioning agent like Borateem brand.

You may prefer to use a mild-type detergent. Do hand-knit garments by hand or in Mini Basket™ tub—see page 10.

Fill washer, add detergent and allow to dissolve before adding blanket. Do one blanket at a time. Pretreat heavily soiled spots with liquid detergent.

On electric blanket, sew a strong piece of cloth over plug to protect blanket and washer from damage. Do one blanket at a time. Pretreat heavily soiled spots with liquid detergent.

Vacuum out loose dirt before washing.

If unusually soiled, use Normal/Gentle Wash/Spin Speed.

Wash only 2 or 3 rugs or mats at one time. Shake before washing to remove excess dirt. For new “indigo blue” jeans, wash at least 3 times in very small loads with full water fill.

Jeans need ample room to move to avoid white lines at creases. May discolor plastic washer parts. Subsequent washings will reduce discoloration, but will probably never eliminate it. The stained parts will not discolor subsequent washing loads.

Tumble on FLUFF (No Heat).

Pillows are made of different materials—dacron, fiber, foam, polyester, natural feathers and

down. Many pillows can be machine washed, but manufacturers’ care labels must be followed

carefully. If washing is recommended, check pillows for weak seams or holes and mend to prevent escape of feathers or filling. Fill washer, add detergent and agitate for several minutes to dissolve detergent. Add two pillows at a time to balance load. Use extra large water level.

How to use the

Energy-Saving Ups

If your clothes and household items don’t look clean and fresh after washing, you will probably re-wash them... and that means you’ll waste energy. Remember to sort your clothes carefully, and load them properly, select correct cycles, use enough detergent and

water temperature warm enough to release and get rid of soil.

• Use Hot Wash-up to 150°R—on

a regular basis only when washing

heavily soiled articles—such as work and play clothes.

choose a

• Under normal soil conditions, wash in water above 80°F. (27 °C.). This generally means using the Warm Wash temperature setting on your washer—temperatures approximately 90° to 110°F. or hand comfortable. If you notice that soil has accumulated after several consecutive washings, use Hot Wash occasionally, if safe for fabrics.

• Always rinse in Cold Water. The temperature of the rinse does not affect cleaning.

• Try to wash less often. Save articles of the same type of fabric until you have a full load.

• If you must wash smaller loads, adjust the amount of water. Small loads should have lower water levels.

• Wash in off-peak utility hours. Your local utility can tell you which are the off-peak hours.

• Use Normal Spin Speed to remove more water and help lessen drying time. The dryer will remove any wrinkles caused by the Normal Spin.

• Use your Mini-Basket™ tub for

very small loads. It uses less water than the small water level in the big tub on this washer. You will also

save on detergent and energy.

Bleach Dispenser

bleach only. If you prefer to use powdered bleach, pour it into the wash basket along with your detergent. Do not put powdered bleach into the bleach dispenser.

• Measure bleach carefully. Here are some recommended amounts:

LARGE WATER LEVEL-U/4 cup (310 ml) liquid

SMALL WATER LEVEL-2/3 cup (170 ml) liquid

MINI-BASKET tub—1/4 cup (60 ml) liquid

• Pour measured amount of liquid

bleach directly into bleach dispenser.

•

• Do not overfill or allow dispenser to overflow. Avoid splashing. Undiluted bleach can cause fabric

damage.

• Never pour undiluted liquid bleach directly onto clothes or

into the wash basket or Mini Basket tub.

How to sort the clothes

Sort by surface texture

Sort by soil

It pays to check and prepare clothes for washing.

• Empty pockets, brush out cuffs, zip zippers, snap snaps, books and buttons.

• Do any necessary mending—rips, hems, tears.

• Check all items for areas of heavy soil or stain.

• Remove stains. For STAIN REMOVAL GUIDE, SEE PAGE 19.

LINT PRODUCERS-Such as

terry toweling and chenille—give

up lint. LINT COLLECTORS-such

as man-made fibers and napped

fabrics like velveteen and corduroy —attract lint. These must be washed separately.

For more information on lint control, see page 20.

EXTRA CLEANING Special Modern Fabric Cycles for

removable heavy and oily soils.

(See page 5 for instructions.) See page 19 “Stain Removal

Guide!’ See page 6 “Controls Setting

Guide!’ See page 20 “The Problem Solver.’’

Soaking and Pre-treating— a good way to loosen deep soils and stains.

A thorough soaking with detergent or special soaking agent is another way to remove heavy soils, embedded dirt and even some stains.

Soaking can be either a completely separate washing step or a prelim inary step to a complete wash cycle. For detailed information on how to soak in your washer, see page 9.

from

In addition to sorting to reduce lint

collection, it is recommended that

fabrics of similar construction be

washed together whenever possible.

FOR INFORMATION ON SOAKING AGENTS, SEE PAGE 17.

• Pre-treat heavy soil by rubbing in a small amount of liquid detergent or a paste made of water and powdered detergent or soap. For best results, wait 1/2 hour before washing.

FOR INSTRUCTIONS ON DIFFERENT FABRICS AND LOADS, SEE PAGES 6 and 7.

Special recommendations

IH)!

for washing permanent press if you do not have a dryer.

If you are machine-washing Pennanent Press clothes that you plan to line dry or drip-dry, use extra care to minimize wrinkling in the wash process:

• Be careful not to overload washer. Permanent Press clothes must have ample room to move freely. A Medium size Permanent Press load is the largest that should be washed.

• Use more water than you would for a regular load. Use a Medium Water Level for a Small Load; an Extra Large Water Level for a Medium Load.

• Remove clothes promptly as

soon as washer stops and hang

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 page 4.

To add items after the Washer has

Started.

* Turn off the washer. ® Carefully remove the Filter-Flo

pan.

® Add any additional articles by subm.erging next to the agitator.

Hard water—do you have it?

Before you can decide what to do about hard water, you need to know if you have it and, if so, how hard it is.

• If you live in a municipal area, contact your water company.

• If you live in a rural area, or in some suburban areas, contact your county agent.

The answer will be “you have ‘so many grains’ per gallon” and means this:

0 to 3 grains per gallon—SOFT 4 to 10 grains—HARD

11 to 19 grains—VERY HARD

If your water is SOFT, you have no problem. You can use soap or detergent as you prefer and forget all about hard water. If you have HARD water—less than 10 grains— and you use phosphate detergent, you also have no problem.

But, if you have more than 10 grains, you will need to soften your water with either...

1. An installed water softener in your home, or

2. The use of a packaged water softener.

For information on water softeners, see guide below.

• Insufficient detergent. You may need to increase amount of detergent used if load is larger than normal, if soils are oily or heavier than average, if water level is large or if water is Hard to Extremely Hard.

• Water not hot enough for type of load. Be sure water heater is set to deliver hot water at the washer at 140°-150°F. Do not wash when other hot water needs—such as

dlshwashlng Or family baths-

-are heavy.

• Poor or inferior detergent. Change to phosphate detergent, if possible. Follow these steps:

1. Use water conditioner, (such as Calgon brand)

2. Pre-treat stains

3. Use hottest water possible

4. Use bleach where possible

5. Use pre-soak aids

6. Install water softener

• Washer overloaded. Clothes cannot move freely to loosen and remove soil, causing gray appearance. Follow correct loading procedures for size of load.

start of agitation. See page 15.

•To restore grayed clothes, follow one of these procedures:

1. Put clothes in washer. Fill with HOT water. Check Manufacturers’ Care Labels to determine if hot water is suitable for garment.

• Add a non-precipitating type of water softener such as Calgon with phosphate— use 2 V2 times as much as you need for normal water softening.

• Do not use detergent or soap.

• Allow clothes to go through complete cycle.

• Repeat, if necessary.

2. If you prefer to use the Soak Setting, see page 9. Use the water softener in place of soak agent or prewash detergent and allow clothes to soak for about 20 minutes.

3. Use “ExtraCleaning” cycles, seepages.

• Improper use of fabric softener. Never pour fabric softener directly on clothes; always dilute before adding to rinse water. Dilute softener before filling your Fabric Softener Dispenser. (See page 9.) Also, do not lift lid during spin. This may cause improper dispensing, resulting in stains. To remove stains: dampen stained area and rub

• Some fabrics will shrink whether washed in a washer or by hand; others may be safely washed but will shrink in a dryer. Follow Garment Manufecturers’ Care Instructions exactly. If in doubt, do not machine wash or dry.

SHRINKAGE, KNITS

• Relaxation shrinkage can occur in knit fabrics that have been improperly stretched and elongated by the manufacturer. When this occurs, garment may be pressed back into

shape after each wash and dry cy'cie.

• Progressive or delayed shrinkage is caused when starch or sizing (in some fabrics) is

gradually removed by laundering. May be noticed in older garments that have been washed many times without previous shrinkage. Treat as for Relaxation Shrinkage above.

• Shrinkage caused by overheating occurs in certain knit fabrics that have been heat

shaped. When washing, drying or ironing temperatures exceed the temperatures used to shape set, shrinkage may occur. This cannot be corrected, but it can be prevented by

AREAS such as collars and cuffs

• As Permanent Press garments age, they may show fraying at collars and cuffe. This is

normal due to weakening of fibers by the Permanent Press process. It is not caused by washer. Ybu can slow this process washing small Permanent Press loads with a Large Water Level. Do not wash heavy items such as towels with Permanent Press. Remove collar stays, when possible.

• Roughness or burrs on agitator may cause rips or tears. Check agitator and file rough spots if necessary.

• May be caused by use of Normal/Normal Wash/Spin speed for delicate articles. Use Gentle/Gentle Wash/Spin speed. Refer to Garment Manufacturers’ Care Labels.

• Garments weakened by age, sun or atmosphere. This is inevitable and is not caused by washer. Slow process by washing on Gentle/Gentle Wash/Spin speed.

front jam nuts tight. See your Installation Instructions.

• A sharp distinctive sound will be heard at the end of each spin period as the motor stops and the spin brake inside the transmission “locks in!’ This sound is normal.

• Heavily unbalanced loads can cause the washer to vibrate excessively during spin, and may cause it to move from its original position. In extreme cases, (usually occurs when washing a single, heavy item or a small load when water level is set higher than necessary) the spin basket may strike the outer tub, creating a loud but harmless noise. To correct, open the lid and redistribute the load evenly about the wash basket. Close the lid and restart.

• Washer normally pauses between washing steps... such as between wash and spin or between spin and rinse.
