Sort and prepare your laundry
• Empty pockets� Loose change, buttons, or any small object
can pass under the washplate 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 items 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 avoid further damage to items
during washing�
Helpful Tips:
• For best performance, use HE liquid detergent when washing
bulky items�
• When washing waterproof or water-resistant items, load
evenly� See "Cycle Guide" for tips and more information
on using the Bulky/Bedding cycle�
• Use mesh bags to help prevent tangling when washing
delicate or small items�
• Turn knits inside out to avoid pilling� Separate lint-takers from
lint-givers� Synthetics, knits, and corduroy fabrics will pick up
lint from towels, rugs, and chenille fabrics�
NOTE: Always read and follow fabric care labels instructions
to avoid damage to your items�
