The

SUDS-MISER System

Your washer has the SUDS-MISER‘ System. It has two drain

hoses. One hose moves used wash water into a storage tub and

moves it back into the washer when it’s called for. The other hose

carries water to another tub with an open drain, or to a stand-

pipe drain

If you do not want to re-use wash water, leave the stopper out

of the storage tub so the water drains away.

S’IORAGE

If you have a storage tub big enough to hold about 25 gal-

lons (95 liters), you can have a qualified installer convert your

washer to save all the wash water.

TO SAVE WASH WATER

Be sure the stopper IS in the storage tub. The SUDS-MISER System

does not save rinse water from any cycle, nor does it save wash

water from the PERMANENT PRESS Cycle

TO RE-USE WASH WATER

Pull the Control Knob out.

The washer will pump most of the

Push in the Cycle Control Knob.

water from the storage tub back

into the washer basket. The washer

will finish filling with fresh water.

Drain the storage tub. Water still in

Turn it right [clockwise) so it points

to SUDS (see illustration).

Add about half the recom-

mended amount of detergent ant

then the load.

the tub will have any soil that

settled out. The hose is cut on an

angle to leave about an inch

of water.

If you want a cycle other than

SUPER WASH to follow SUDS,

push in the Cycle Control Knob

after the water has been

pumped back into the washer.

Turn the knob right [clockwise) to

the cycle and wash time you

want.
