Vacuumout loose dirt before washing.
Washonly 2or 3rllgs or mats at one time. Shake before washing to remove excess dirt.
For ncw “indigo blue”jeans, wash at least 3times in very small loads with full water fill.

Howtoloadyourwasher
@Load clothes dry.

the wash basket in this order:
LiirgcItems-1ike sheets. Do not
wrap around the agitator.
small items —like washcloths.
Thisillustration, with clothesjust
reaching the Clothes Retaining
Ring, shows aproper 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 apt to pack down which
encourages overloading. This size
load requires afull water fill.
What is tile best size load of
clothes—large, med~umy or
slnail?
Save tiIne9energy and
detergent by avoiding extra use of
the washer. Try to wash afull load
of clothes. If you can it is better to
save clothes until you have afull
load. If you must wash sma]ler
loads. save water, energy and
detergent by acl.justingthe water
level for the size of the load. See
~l;lgc:~1.
If you are machine-washing
