Loading and Using the Washer

Sorting Wash
Loads

Sort by color (whites, lights, colors), soil level,
fabric type (sturdy cottons, easy care, delicates)
and whether the fabric produces lint (terry
cloth, chenille) or collects lint (velveteen,
corduroy).

Loading the
Washer

Load dry items loosely, no higher than the top
row of holes in the washer basket. Overloading
may reduce washer efficiency and possibly
increase wrinkling.

Bulky items should be placed as far down in
the wash basket as possible for optimal results.

Always place buoyant items at the bottom of
the wash basket.

The washer will automatically detect the load
size. Because of the high-efficiency wash system,
the water level may not completely cover the
load. To add items after washer has started, lift
the lid, add items and close the lid.

Do not wash fabrics containing flammable

materials (waxes, cleaning fluids, etc.)

The washer will not fill or operate with the

lid open.

Always follow fabric manufacturer’s care label when laundering.
