Soaking and Pretreating—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.

● Pretreat 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.

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.

TO Add Items After the Washer Has Started

Turn off the washer by pushing in the Cycle 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.

● Add any additional articles by submerging them next

to the agitator.

. *Replace the

pan and restart the washer.

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.

Amount required varies according to:

1. Water hardness

2. Amount of soil

3. Size of load

4. Type of detergent

5. Wash temperature

Use more detergent if

you have...

1. Hard water

2. Large loads

3. Greasy or oily soils

4. Lower wash temperature

5. Low phosphate detergent

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

[

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 forma 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

THE PROBLEM SOLVER

PROBLEM

GRAYEDCLOTHES (continued)

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 and Additives section.

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

1. 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.
