Darren: Congratulations! This is the owner's manual for a 1960 Lady Kenmore.

I grew up with the next model down, the Model 80, which also featured most of the same cycles and one-touch operation.

The cover of the manual is identical to the Model 80, too. In fact, that's what I thought it was going to be when I saw the first post.

The Model 80 didn't have the Super Wash cycle or the liquid detergent dispenser.
The woolens cycle on the 80 was called Washable Woolens, and had a 2-minute slow wash. I think the Cold Water Wash had a 4-minute rather than a 6-minute wash. Otherwise all the other cycles were identical to the Lady K.

One more interesting difference between the 1960 Lady Kenmore and the Model 80---The Model 80 would not let you save suds on the Cold Water Wash cycle. You can on the Lady K.

laundering pillows

Rip a 3" hole? What is the point if they suggest folding-over the material, & closing it with a safety pin???

If pillows should need laundering/cleaning, first I would only recomend a front-load machine. However, drycleaning would probably be the best option. And probably best of all, replace the pillow with a new one.

But rip a hole, I wouldn't go there. ...LoL.

My two cents.

Ripping Holes

Was to let out air.

Anyone who has tried to launder pillows in a top loading washing machine knows they can have pockets of air (large bubbles). Unless this pressure is released there is a danger of pillows simply popping open.

Air bubbles also act as to keep pillows above water (think life jackets), thus defeating the purpose of laundering. Also items kept above water will be thrashed about and beaten by the agitator.

I love that manual!

Isn't it wonderful how the people in the illustrations in these books are always smiley and happy, in a complete and total blissful state?? The "how to" guides are priceless - you never see anything even close to that in the crapola they make today! Manufacturers really wanted to make the buyers of their products happy and I am sure that led to way more sales!
Marge: "Why I am in absolute laundry heaven now that I have my Kenmore"
Janet: "Hmmm. I guess I better ask Jim to stop gambling away all our money and buy me one, too!"
LOL
Thanks so much for posting these Darren! Keeping my fingers crossed that the machine is still in the house!!!
