LEVELING THE WASHER
The drum of your new washer spins at very high
speeds, up to 1200 RPM. To minimize vibration,
noise, and unwanted movement, the floor must
be a perfectly BeveB, sofid surface.
NOTE: Adjust the levering feet onBy as far as
necessary to BeveB the washer. Extending the
Bevefing feet more than necessary can cause
the washer to vibrate.
Aft four Bevefing feet must rest sofidBy on the
floor. Rock the washer gently from corner to
corner to make sure that the washer does
not rock.

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.
Loading the washer
Check aii 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 wasNoad.
The washer can be fully loaded, but the drum
should not be tightly packed with items. The
door of the washer should close easily.
To prevent an out-of-balance load, do not wash
single items. Add one or two similar items to
the load. Large, bulky items, such as a blanket,
comforter, or bedspread should be washed
individually.
Do not wash or spin waterproof clothes.
When unloading the washer, check under the
door seal for small items.
