Loading your
Lint Filter
The lint filter is self-cleaning. It
filters water used in both the wash and
the rinse. When the washer drains, lint
collected is flushed away.
If your washer drains into a tub,
watch the drain strainer for the lint. A
linty load can plug the tub drain and
cause an overflow.
For best washing results and
energy savings, sort the laundry
caretully.
1. Sort the Laundry into Loads.
• Group the laundry into loads that
can be washed and dried together.
See the Laundry Guide for informa­
tion and samples of typical loads.
• Try to mix large and small items for
best movement in the washer.
2. Measure Detergent; Add to
Washer Basket.
• See detergent information on page
6 and in Section IV of the Laundry
Guide.
3. Load the Washer.
• Load without packing so items can
move freely for best cleaning and
least wrinkling.
• 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.
4. Pour Liquid Bleach into the
Dispenser.
• See page 7 and the "Laundry
Aids" section of the Laundry Guide for
more information.
5. Avoid Damaging Laundry.
Carefully follow package direc­
tions when using detergents,
bleaches, softeners and other
laundry aids. For more informa­
tion, see pages 16-22 in your
"Laundry Guide. "
