• Clothing or articles that are waterproof or water-
resistant must be washed in the Waterproof,
Bedding, Bulky/Large, or Jumbo Wash cycle
only. (Examples include water resistant clothing,
mattress covers, outdoor clothes, and plastic
mats.) Failure to do so may result in personal
injury or damage to the washer, clothes, walls,
floor, and surrounding objects due to abnormal
vibration.
General Tips
• Check and empty pockets. Paper clips, coins,
matches, etc.can damage clothing and the
washer.
• Close zippers and hooks, and tie drawstrings to
prevent snagging or tangling of clothes.

Directions
• Pretreat heavily stained areas for best results.
• Brush off heavy soil, dust, and hair from items
before washing. Excess dirt or sand can abrade
other fabrics and lead to poor wash
performance.
• For best performance, load clothes as shown.
- Do not press down on items while stacking
them in the drum.
- Load clothes loosely, and do not overfill the
drum. Clothes need room to circulate in order
to get clean.
