1, Sort and prepare your laundry
• Empty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small object
can pass under the impeller and become trapped, causing
unexpected sounds.
• Sort items by recommended cycle, water temperature,
and colorfastness.
• Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled.
• Separate delicate items from sturdy fabrics.
• Do not dry garments if stains remain after washing; heat can
set stains into fabric.
• Treat stains promptly.
• Close zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings and sashes.
Remove non-washable trim and ornaments.
• Mend rips and tears to prevent further damage to items
during washing.
Helpful Tips:
= When washing water-proof or water-resistant items, load
evenly. See "Cycle Guide" for tips and more information on
using the Bulky Items cycle.
• Use mesh bags to help prevent tangling when washing
delicate or small items.
• Turn knits inside out to prevent pilling. Separate lint-takers
from lint-givers. Synthetics, knits, and corduroy fabrics will
pick up lint from towels, rugs, and chenille fabrics.
Always read and follow fabric care labels instructions to
avoid damage to your garments.
Load garments in loose heaps evenly around basket wall.
For best results, do not load higher than the recommended
maximum load height. Try mixing different sized items to
reduce tangling.
IMPORTANT: Do not overload washer. Items need to move
freely. Overloading can lead to poor cleaning performance, and
may increase wrinkling and tangling.
