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.

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 or spin water proof clothes.
•  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.
