your Washer

For best washing results and

energy savings, sort the laundry

carefully.

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 7 and in Section IV of the Laun-

dry Guide.

Add dry bleach or water condi-

tioner (not fabric softener) if used.

Follow the package directions

carefully.

3. load the Washer.

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.

Load without packing so items can

move freely for best cleaning and

least wrinkling.

4. Pour liquid Bleach into the

Dispenser.

See page 6 and the “Laundry

Aids” section of the Laundry Guide for

more information.

5. Add Diluted Fabric Softener to

the Dispenser.

DO NOT ADD FABRIC SOFTENER TO

THE WASH. Fabric softeners can com-

bine with soap or detergent to make

greasy stains on fabrics.

Understanding

your Washer -

This automatic washer has cycle

settings with different agitation and spin

speeds for different fabric types. For

example, the REGULAR HEAVY Cycle

has high agitation and high spin

speeds. The PERMANENT PRESS Cycle,

has high agitation speeds, but low spin

speeds The washer has a

LOAD SIZE

SELECTOR

that lets you adjust the water

level to match the size of the load.

It has a

TEMPERATURE SELECTOR.

You can select the wash and rinse water

temperatures best for the amount of

soil and fabric type in each load.

Sections In this Use & Care Guide

go Into detail on the “what and why”

of each setting. Read this and the Laun-

dry Gude carefully to get the best

cleaning results.

MAGIC CLEAN@

lint Filter

The lint filter ISself-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

llnty load can plug the tub drain and

cause an overflow.

Information on loading and load srzes.

Using the

Dispensers

You may want to use Irquid

bleach and fabric softeners in some

loads Your washer has drspensers

designed to automatically add these

liquid laundry aids at the correct time.

Follow the product package

recommendations carefully. Use the dis-

pensers for best results.

Liquid Fabric Softener

Dispenser

The dispenser for liquid fabric

softener fits over the top of the agitator.

The dispenser will hold enough

diluted

fabric softener for one deep rinse.

After adding the detergent and the

load, frt the dispenser over the top of the

agitator cap.

Following drrectrons on the bottle.

add the correct amount of fabric soft-

ener. Use a cup with a pouring spout

to avoid dripping any on the load.

IMPORTANT: Add enough hot or

warm water to fill the dispenser to

the FULL mark.

Diluted fabric softener will be added

just before the washer starts filling for the

rinse

NOTE:

Do not stop the washer

during

the first spin (when the wash

water

you

do, the fab-

rrc softener will be added to the wet.

soapy load. Thus can cause stains

Clean the dispenser after each use

with warm

water only.

Detergent can

make softeners sticky and lumpy.

liquid Bleach Dispenser

The bleach dispenser is under the

lrd of the washer In the front corner. It

has the words, LIQUID BLEACH, on it The

Before starting the washer, but after

loading it, add the bleach.

Use a measuring cup with a pouring

spout to help avoid sprlltng or spattering

the bleach

follow the directions on the bottle for

the amount to use

Never use more

than 1 cup (250 ml) for a full load.

Use less with lower water level

settings.

Use a standard

measuring cup

with a pouring

spout to fill

dispensers.

Do not let any bleach run down

into the washer basket. Concen-

trated bleach will damage any

fabric.

Model LA6705XK Only

Using the

Suds-MiseP

System

If your washer has the

SUDS-MISER” System, it has two drain

hoses. One hose drains wash water into

the storage tub; the other carries rinse

water to the drain,

The storage tub should hold at

least 20 gallons (76 liters). If you do not

want tore-use wash water, leave the

stopper out of the storage tub so the

water drains away.

To Save Wash Water

Be sure the stopper is in the

storage tub. The SUDS-MISER system

does not save wash water from the

PERMANENT PRESS Cycle.

In the PERMANENT PRESS Cycle,

part of the wash water is drained

away (wrth part of the detergent).

Then the washer fills again with cold

water. This helps keep permanent

press fabrrcs from wrinkling during the

spin

To Re-Use Wash Water

To pump the used wash water

back into the washer, push in the

Cycle Control Knob. Turn it to the right

[clockwise) so It points to

SUDS

just

before the time numbers in the REGU-

LAR HEAVY Cycle.

Pull the Control Knob out. The

washer will start pumping the used

water into the basket. About an inch of

water will stay in the storage tub. This

water will contain most of the soil that

settles out.

When the washer is finished

pumping, fresh water will finish filling

the basket to the selected level.

When the washer stops filling,

push the Cycle Control Knob in. Add

about half the recommended amount

of detergent. [See page 7.)

Add load and pull the Cycle

Control Knob out.

Important

Detergent

lnforniation

Detergents and soaps clean

by loosening SOII, and by holding it in

the water so it drains away. If not

enough detergent ISused, soil and

lint can settle back on the items in

the load.

SOAP

works best in

soft water

(O-4 grains hardness) In harder water.

both the wash and rinse water should

be softened. Use enough soap to

make about 1% to 2 inches (3.8 to 5.5

cm) of suds.

DETERGENT

works in hard or

soft

water. Package directions are

usually based on soft water and

washers with normal-size tubs

Use

more detergent..

1 for hard water.

2. for heavy greasy or

01ly soils

3. If the detergent is low

phosphate.

4. for cold-water washes.

DETERGENT SUDS.

There ore

high, normal and low sudsing pow-

dered detergents. If the recom-

mended amount of detergent makes

too much suds, switch to a lower

sudsing brand.

DO NOT REDUCE THE

AMOUNT

of detergent.

Use the

following chart as

beginning suggestionsfor powdered

and liquid detergent amounts. See
