SORTING WASH LOADS
Fabric Care Labels
Most articles of clothing feature fabric care labels
that include instructions for proper care.
Grouping Similar Items
For best results, sort clothes into loads that can
be washed with the same wash cycle.
Different fabrics have different care requirements.
Always wash dark colors separately from light
colors and whites to prevent discoloration. If
possible, do not wash heavily soiled items with
lightly soiled ones. The chart below shows
recommended groupings.
Fabric Care Labels
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, press the
START/PAUSE button, lift the lid, add items, and
close the lid. Press the START/PAUSE button.
Refer to page 20.
• Check all pockets to make sure that they
are empty. Items such as clips, matches,
pens, coins, and keys can damage both your
washer and your clothes.
• Close zippers, hooks, and drawstrings to
prevent these items from snagging or tangling
on other clothes.
• Pretreat heavily stained areas for best results.
• Large items should not be more than half of the
total wash load.
• Do not wash fabrics containing flammable
materials (waxes, cleaning fluids, etc.)
• The washer will not fill or operate with the lid
open.
* IMPORTANT: Use the Bulky/Bedding cycle for
large or bulky items such as poly-filled jackets,
comforters, pillows, etc. These items may not be
as absorbent as other laundry items and should
be sorted into a separate wash load for optimal
results.
w
CAUTION:
• Do not load items over the tub.
Failure to follow this caution can result in leakage
or fabrics damage.
• Use the BULKY/BEDDING cycle for buoyant
or nonabsorbent items such as pillow or
comforter.
Failure to follow this caution can result in leakage.
Do not wash or spin any item labeled or known
to be water-proof or water-resistant, even if
the product care label on the item permits
machine washing. Failure to follow these
instructions could result in bodily injury, severe
damage to your laundry, your washer and/or
property damage as a result of abnormal vibration
of the washer.
- Examples of water-proof or water-resistant items
include certain mattress pads, mattress covers,
rain gear, camping gear, skiing apparel , outdoor
gear and similar items.
