How to Use the Fabric Softener Dispenser

● Position the Fabric Softener

Dispenser on the agitator.

●

Pour manufacturer’s recommended

amount of fabric softener into a

one cup (240 ml) measuring cup.

● Add enough water to fill the cup 1/2 full.

● Pour the diluted softener into the dispenser.

● Measure bleach carefully. See manufacturer’s

instructions.

Pour measured amount of liquid bleach directly

into bleach dispenser.

● Do not overfill or

Avoid splashing. Undiluted bleach can cause fabric damage.

“

Never pour undiluted liquid bleach directly

onto clothes or into the wash basket.

● The fabric softener will automatically be dispensed

at the proper time.

● Do not stop the washer during the first spin.

This will cause the dispenser to empty too soon.

● Do not use the Fabric Softener Dispenser with

the Soak or PreWash cycle.

● If the dispenser gets clogged, soak it in a solution of

one cup (240 ml) water and one cup (240 ml) alcohol.

HOW TO LOAD YOUR

WAS~R

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

out of balance conditions.

Add Items After the Washer Has Started

● Turn off the washer by pushing in the Cycle Selector

knob.

● Add any additional articles by submerging them next

to the agitator.

NOTE: When washing stockings, panty hose and other easily tangled items, always handle separately. To minimize tangling, we recommend the use of a net laundry bag.

Special Recommendations for Washing Permanent Press If You Do Not Have a Dryer

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

● Remove clothes promptly as soon as washer stops

and

hang immediately.

● 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. Use an

extra large water level for a medium load.

Page 11

The use of a sufficient amount of detergent is one of the most

important things you can do to make sure your wash comes out clean. Always follow the detergent manufacturer’s recommended amount.

The Case of the “Invisible” Stain

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.

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

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.

To restore grayed clothes, follow one of these procedures:

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

●

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 cycle.

●

Progressive

or delayed shrinkage

is caused when starch or sizing (in some fabrics) is gradually removed by laundering. This may also 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 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 as shirts or blouses. Do not wash permanent

press items with regular laundry.

POSSIBLE CAUSE

●

Chemicals such as hair bleach, dye, permanent wave solutions, battery acids and

toilet bowl cleaners may cause fabric holes. Rinse all towels and other articles that came in contact with these chemicals before putting them in wash. Do not contaminate clothing articles with these chemicals.

●

As permanent press garments age, they may show fraying at collars and cuffs. This

is normal due to weakening of fibers by the permanent press process. It is not caused by washer. You can slow this process by washing small permanent press loads with a large water level. Do not wash heavy items such as towels with permanent press.

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

necessary), the spin basket may strike the outer tub, creating a loud but harmless noise.
