LOADS
__CAUTION

higher
than the top edge
of
the tub. Failure to follow
this caution
can result
in leakage
or damage
to fabrics.
* Use the BULKY
cycle for buoyant
or nonabsor-
bent items
such as pillows
or comforters.
Fail-
ure to follow
this caution
can result
in leakage.
* If possible,

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.)

LOADING
THE WASHER
* 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.
* Combine
large and small items in a load. Load large
items first.
* Large
items should
not be more
than half of the
total wash load.
* The washer
can be fully loaded,
but the tub should
not be tightly
packed
with
items.
The
lid of the
washer should
close easily.
* 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.
o Do not wash or spin waterproof
items, such as rain
coats, sleeping
bags, etc.
* The washer will not fill or operate with the lid open.
NOTE: Use the BULKY 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.
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.
