For best washing results and
energy savings, sort the laundry
carefully.
1. Sort the laundry into loads.
l
Group the laundry into loads that
can be washed and dried together.
See the Laundry Guide for informa-
tion and samples of typical loads.
l
Try to mix large and small items for
best movement in the washer.
2. Measure Detergent; Add to
Washer Basket.
l
See detergent information on page
6 and in Section IV of the Laundry
Guide.
l
Add dry bleach or water condi-
tioner (not fabric softener) if used.
Follow the package directions
carefully.
3. load the Washer.
l
Spread the load evenly. (Don’t put
all the towels on one side and a few
wash cloths on the other.] An unbal-
anced load can cause the washer to
shake during spinning.
l
Load without packing so items can
move freely for best cleaning and
least wrinkling.
4. Pour Liquid Bleach into the
Dispenser.
l
See page 5 and the “Laundry
Aids” section of the Laundry Guide
for more information.
5. Add Diluted Fabric Softener only
to the Deep Rinse Cycle.

THE WASH. Fabric softeners can com-
bine with soap or detergent to make
greasy stains on fabrics.
