ENERGY-SAV~G

T~S

If your clothes and household items don’t look clean and fresh after washing, you will probably rewash 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

choose a

water

temperature warm enough to release and get rid

of soil.

● 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.

“

Always rinse in cold water. The temperature of the

rinse does not affect cleaning.

●

Wash in off-peak utility hours. Your local utility can

tell you which are the

off-pe~

hours.

● Use your washer’s Normal Spin. This will remove

more water during spin, which will shorten drying

cycle to save more energy.

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 preliminary step to a complete wash cycle. For detailed information on how to soak in your washer, see How to Use the Soak

Cycle.

FOR INFORMATION ON SOAKING AGENTS,

see

Other

Laundry Products Guide.

● 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.

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.

W’hat

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

out of balance conditions.

Add Items After the Washer Has Started

● Turn off the washer by pushing in the Cycle

NOTE: When washing stockings, panty hose and

● Add any additional articles by submerging them next

To minimize tangling, we recommend the use of a net

How to use

detergent—

granular, powdered or liquid:

For best results, add detergent to the wash basket before loading clothes. If you load your clothes first, add detergent 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 (3.8 liters).” This means:

O to 3.5 grains per

gallon

(3.8 liters)—SOFT

3.6 to 7 grains—HARD

7.1

to 10.5 grains—VERY HARD

10.6 grains and over—EXTREMELY 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 the manufacturer’s recommendations.

POSSIBLE CAUSE .

‘

Incorrect sorting of clothes. Separate lint producers (such as terry towels and

chenille) from lint receivers (such as man-made fabrics, velveteen, corduroy).

Washing too long, especially for smaller loads. For normal soil, wash one minute

per pound of dry clothes.

●

Use of non-phosphate detergents which combine with hardness minerals to form a

precipitate which can be mistaken for lint. Use a phosphate or liquid detergent; use warmer wash water or soften water with an installed mechanical softener or a packaged water softener.

●

Powdery residue from granular detergent may appear to be lint.

Predissolve

granular detergent in hot water before adding to washer; make sure detergent is completely dissolved before adding clothes; switch to liquid or cold water detergent or use warmer wash water. See Detergent section.

●

Overloading will cause abrasion which creates excessive lint. Wash fewer items

with correct water level.

●

Too much bleach. Use correct amount of bleach according to package directions.

●

Not enough detergent to hold lint in suspension during wash cycle. Increase amount

of detergent. See Detergent section.

●

Incorrect use of fabric softener. If used in wash cycle, softeners may react

with

detergent to create a white deposit. Use softeners in rinse cycle only unless package specifies adding to wash cycle. See Other Laundry Products section.

●

Pilling usually on polyester-cotton blends is caused by normal wear and may look

like lint. Turning clothes inside-out may provide some help.

●

Static electricity caused by overdying will cause attraction. Use fabric softener in

rinse cycle.

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

then be very visible.

POSSIBLE CAUSE

●

Improper soaking with insufficient detergent. Usually a 30-minute soak is sufficient.

However, when using extended soaks for heavily soiled garments, you may need to use twice

the

recommended amount of detergent.

●

Use of soap in hard water. Switch to a phosphate detergent, or follow six steps at

bottom of opposite page.

●

Washing too long may result in increased soil deposition. Use shorter wash times for

smaller loads.

Detergent dissolves too slowly. Detergent must be present in the wash solution at the

start of agitation. See Detergent

Additives section.

●

To restore grayed clothes, follow one of these procedures:

Put

clothes in washer. Fill with HOT water. Check garment manufacturer’s care

labels to determine if hot water is suitable for garment.

●

Add a non-precipitating type of water softener such as Cdgon brand.

Use 2% 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 cycle, see How to Use the Soak Cycle section. Use the water softener in place of soak agent or prewash detergent and allow clothes to soak for about 20 minutes.

3. Use an extra cleaning cycle. See Tips to Help You Select Settings section.

●

Incomplete removal of soil due to constant use of insufficient detergent. Check hem

T-sMrt

or pillow case. H they are white and center is yellow, it contains body oil.

Restore whiteness following procedures in Grayed Clothes, above.

●

Chlorine bleach may yellow some fabrics with resin finishes. Use oxygen bleach (such

Clorox

2 brand). Refer to garment manufacturer’s care instructions. Restore color

using color remover (such as

Rit

Tintex

brands), following package directions.

Iron or manganese in water may cause overall yellowing or yellow spots.

Use extra detergent plus a non-precipitating water softener dissolved in water before

adding clothes. Use non-chlorine bleach.

Have a special filter installed in your home to remove iron and manganese from water.

Run hot water for a few minutes to clean iron residue buildup in lines; drain water heater occasionally.

To remove spots:

POSSIBLE CAUSE

●

Relaxation shrinkage can

occur in

knit

fabrics that have been improperly stretched

and elongated by the manufacturer. When this occurs, garment may

pressed back

into shape after each wash and dry cycle.

Progressive or delayed shrinkage is caused

when starch or sizing (in some fabrics)

is gradually removed by laundering. This may

dso

be noticed in older garments that have been washed many times without previous shrinkage. Treat as for relaxation shrinkage above.

Shrinkage

occurs in certain knit fabrics that have been

heat-

shaped. When

washi~g,

drying or

ironing

temperatures exceed the temperatures used to shape set, shrinkage may occur. This cannot be corrected, but it can be prevented by washing in cool or warm water and drying on low or delicate heat.

●

Leaving clothes in dryer after tumbling stops. Remove and hang clothes immediately.

●

Too many clothes in dryer. Dry only one washer load at a time. Do not combine loads.

●

Improper loads. Avoid laundering heavy permanent press items, such as work clothes,

with lighter permanent press items such

shirts or blouses. Do not wash permanent

press items with regular laundry.

●

Too many clothes in washer. Permanent press loads should

rdways

be smaller than

regular loads..

.no

more than medium loads to give clothes room to move freely.

●

Incorrect wash and dry cycles. Use Permanent Press Wash cycle which provides

●

Incorrect water level. Use larger water level for medium load, medium level for

small load.

●

Repeated washing in too hot water. Wash in cold or warm water with plenty of

detergent.

●

Failure to use fabric softener. Proper use will minimize wrinkling.

●

Pins on garments or sharp objects left in pockets, Check to make sure dl such objects

are removed. Also check wash tub.

●

Snaps, hooks, sharp buttons, belt buckles, zippers. Fasten hooks, zippers and buttons.

Remove sharp buttons and belt buckles. This is especially important in washing knits which snag easily. Turn knits inside out.

●

Holes with random

quare

shapes with yellow discoloration may be caused by improper use of chlorine bleach. Use only correct amount of bleach. See Other Laundry Products section. Never add undiluted bleach to wash tub or allow clothes to come into contact with undiluted bleach. Do not wipe up bleach spills with clothes.

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

ex~eme

cases {usually occurs

when washing a single, heavy item or a small load when water

level

is set higher than
