SORTING WASH LOADS

CAUTION
y Do not load items higher than the top edge of the
tub. Failure to follow this caution can result in leak-
age or damage to fabrics.
y Use the Bedding cycle in the full-size washer for
buoyant or nonabsorbent items such as pillows or
comforters. Refer to owner's manual included with
washing machine. Failure to follow this caution can
result in leakage.
GROUPING SIMILAR ITEMS
For the best washing results, and to reduce the
possibility of damage to clothing, 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,
discoloration, fabric damage or linting. Sort fabrics
into groups as described below.
COLORS
Sort articles by color. Wash dark clothes together in
a separate load from light colors or whites. Mixing
dark clothes with light clothes can result in dye
transfer or discoloration of the lighter clothes.

SOIL LEVEL

Wash heavily soiled clothing in the full-sized
washer. Washing lightly soiled clothing in the same
load with heavily soiled clothing could result in poor
wash performance for the lightly soiled clothing.
The pedestal washer is optimized for use with
lightly soiled and delicate items.
FABRIC TYPE
Do not mix delicate items with heavier or sturdier
fabrics. Washing heavier fabrics in a delicate load
can result in poor wash performance for the heavier
fabrics and possible damage to the delicate items.
LINT TYPE
Some fabrics attract and bind lint to them while
others give off lint in the laundry process. Avoid
mixing these lint collectors and lint producers in the
same load. Mixing these fabrics results in pilling
and linting on the lint collectors. (For example, lint
collector – knit sweater; lint producer – terry cloth
towels.)

Fabric Care Labels

LOADING THE WASHER

y Check all pockets to make sure that they are empty.
Items such as clips, matches, pens, coins, and keys
can damage both the washer and the clothes.
y Close zippers, hooks, and drawstrings to prevent
these items from snagging or tangling on other
clothes.
y Pretreat heavily stained areas for best results.
y 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 in the full-
size washer.
y The washer will not fill or operate with the lid open.
y Don't overload the tub. Clothes should fit loosely in
the tub under the maximum fill line. Loading clothes
over the fill line may result in damage to clothing and
the washer.
CAUTION
y Close the lid until it clicks before sliding the drawer
in to begin the cycle.
