Load laundry into washer
Place a load of sorted items loosely in the washer. Items need
to move freely for best cleaning and to reduce wrinkling and
tangling. Close the washer door by pushing it firmly until the
latch clicks.
Depending on load type and cycle, the washer can be fully
■
loaded, but not tightly packed. Washer door should close
easily. See "Cycle Guide" for loading suggestions.
Mix large and small items and avoid washing single items.
■
Load evenly.
Wash small items in mesh garment bags. For multiple items,
■
use more than one bag and fill bags equally.
