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 open

the door 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.
