Sorting Laundry
CAUTION
• The washer can be fully loaded, but the tub
should not be tightly packed with items. The lid
of the washer should close easily.
• Use the Bedding cycle for buoyant or
nonabsorbent items such as pillows or
comforters. Failure to follow this caution can
result in leakage.
• Clothing or articles that are waterproof or water
resistant must be washed in the Waterproof
cycle only. (Examples include water resistant
clothing, mattress covers, outdoor clothes, and
plastic mats.) Using another cycle may result in
personal injury or damage to the washer,
clothes, walls, floor, and surrounding objects
due to abnormal vibration.
Grouping Similar Items
For the best washing results, and to reduce the
possibility of damage to clothing, sort clothing into
loads made up of similar items.
Mixing different fabric types and/or soil levels can
result in poor wash performance, color transfer,
discoloration, fabric damage or linting. Fabrics
should be sorted into groups as described below.
Colors
Sort articles by color. Wash dark clothes separately
from light colors or whites. Mixing 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 heavily
soiled clothing could result in poor wash
performance for the lightly soiled clothing.
Fabric Type
Delicate articles should not be mixed with heavy or
sturdy fabric types. Washing heavy fabrics with
delicates can result in poor wash performance for
the heavy fabrics and possible damage to the
delicates.
Lint Type
Some fabrics attract and bind lint to them while
others 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 collector - knit sweater; lint producer
- terry cloth towels.)
