Sorting Wash Loads
Loading the Washer
The wash drum may be fully loaded with loosely
added items. Do not wash garments containing
flammable materials (waxes, cleaning fluids, etc.). To add items after the washer has started, press
START/PAUSE and wait until the door is unlatched.
The washer may take up to 30 seconds to unlock
the door after pressing START/PAUSE, depending
on the machine conditions. Do not try to force
the door open when it is locked. After the door
unlocks, open gently. Add items, close the door
and press START/PAUSE to restart.

■
Combine large and small items in a load. Load large items first. Large items should not be more than
half the total wash load.
■
Washing single items is not recommended. This may cause an out-of-balance load. Add one or two
similar items.
■
Pillows and comforters should not be mixed with other items. This may cause an out-of-balance load.
■
Sort dark-colored clothes from light-colored clothes to prevent dye transfer. This is a high-efficiency
washer, so it uses less water, making dye transfer more common.
