• The tub can be loaded completely full with dry
unfolded clothes. However, do not pack the tub tightly.
• Overloading may reduce washing efficiency and pos­
sibly cause creasing or wrinkling of the load.
• When washing big bulky items or a couple of small
items that do not fill the tub completely, such as a rug
or two sweaters, a few towels should be added for
improved tumbling and spin performance.
■ When washing heavily soiled loads, it is very important
to avoid overloading the washer to assure good
cleaning results.
• To load a forgotten item, press the start/pause pad,
add the item, close the door and press the
start/pause pad. After a i 5 to 30 second pause, the
cycle will resume.
NOTE; To assure that your additional items get clean,
do not wait more than five minutes after the cycle has
started to add the item.
