can pass under the agitator 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, because
heat can set stains into fabric.
• Treat stains promptly.
Close zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings and sashes, and remove
non-washable trim and ornaments.

evenly.

delicate or small items.

avoid damage to your garments.
