water-resistant, even if the product care Label on the item permits machine washing.

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
Bulky items should be placed as far down in the
wash basket as possible for optimal results.
Always place buoyant items at the bottom of the
wash basket.
The washer will automatically detect the load size.
Because of the high-efficiency wash system, the
water level may not completely cover the load.
• Check all 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.
• Large items should not be more than half of the
total wash load.
• Do not wash fabrics containing flammable
materials (waxes, cleaning fluids, etc.)
• The washer will not fill or operate with the lid
open.
* IMPORTANT: Use the DUVET cycle for large
or bulky items such as poly-filled jackets,
comforters, pillows, etc. These items may not be
as absorbent as other laundry items and should
be sorted into a separate wash load for optimal
results.
