SORTING WASH LOADS
CAUTION
y Do not load items higher than the top edge of
the tub. Failure to follow this caution can result
in leakage or damage to fabrics.
y Use the BULKY/BEDDING cycle for buoyant or
nonabsorbent items such as pillows or comfort-
ers. Failure to follow this caution can result in
leakage.
y If possible, do not wash any water-resistant
items. If you must, please select the Bulky/Bed-
ding cycle.
GROUPING SIMILAR ITEMS
For the best washing results, and to reduce the pos-
sibility of damage to clothing, care should be taken
to sort the clothing into loads that are made up of
similar items.
Mixing different fabric types and/or soil levels can
result in poor wash performance, color transfer, dis-
coloration, fabric damage or linting. Fabrics should
be sorted into groups as described below.
COLORS
Sort articles by color. Wash dark clothes together
in a separate load from light colors or whites. Mix-
ing dark clothes with light clothes can result in dye
transfer or discoloration of the lighter clothes.
SOIL LEVEL
Wash heavily soiled clothing together. Washing
lightly soiled clothing in the same load with heav-
ily soiled clothing could result in poor wash perfor-
mance for the lightly soiled clothing.
FABRIC TYPE
Delicate articles should not be mixed with heavier
or sturdier fabric types. Washing heavier fabrics in
a delicate load can result in poor wash performance
for the heavier fabrics and possible damage to the
delicates.
LINT TYPE
Some fabrics attract and bind lint to them while oth-
ers give off lint in the laundry process. Avoid mixing
these lint collectors and lint producers in the same
load. Mixing these fabrics will result in pilling and
linting on the lint collectors. (For example, lint collec-
tor – knit sweater; lint producer – terry cloth towels.)

FABRIC CARE LABELS
Many articles of clothing include a fabric care label.
Using the chart below, adjust the cycle and option
selections to care for your clothing according to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
Fabric Care Labels
LOADING THE WASHER
y 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.
y Close zippers, hooks, and drawstrings to prevent
these items from snagging or tangling on other
clothes.
y Pretreat heavily stained areas for best results.
y Combine large and small items in a load. Load large
items first.
y Large items should not be more than half of the
total wash load.
y The washer can be fully loaded, but the tub should
not be tightly packed with items. The lid of the
washer should close easily.
y To prevent an out-of-balance load, do not wash sin-
gle items. Add one or two similar items to the load.
Large, bulky items, such as a blanket, comforter, or
bedspread, should be washed individually.
y Do not wash or spin waterproof items, such as rain
coats, sleeping bags, etc.
y The washer will not fill or operate with the lid open.
NOTE: 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 sepa-
rate wash load for optimal results.
Bulky items should be placed as far down in the tub
as possible for optimal results. Always place buoy-
ant items at the bottom of the tub. The washer will
automatically detect the load size. Because of the
high-efficiency wash system, the water level may not
completely cover the load.
