Loading the Washer . . .
Load Articles
Load items by the amount of space they take up, not by 
their weight. Mix large and small items in a load to get 
the best washing results.
Drop items loosely into the 
washtub. The bulk of the 
clothes rather than the weight 
will determine load size. Do 
not pack items in or wrap them 
around the agitator. 
Overloading can cause poor 
cleaning, excessive wrinkling, 
and tears.
Items should move freely through the wash water for 
best cleaning results. Items should rollover, sink and 
then reappear. 
When washing very large items, do not fill washtub as 
full as with other loads.

Reset (OPTIONAL)
Use the RESET if agitation has started and more water

Water Level
The water level in your washer should fit the size of 
your wash load. Small loads will use lower water 
levels. There must be enough water in the washtub to 
allow items to move and turn over freely.
Overloading the washtub can result in poor washing 
and rinsing. 
Overloading may also cause wrinkling and tearing of 
items.
IMPORTANT: If in doubt always use a higher 
water level. Most average loads will require water 
setting of Large
. Failure to have the correct volume 
of water relative to the load will increase the 
incidence of excessive lint.
