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.
•  

•  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.
