I
Combine large and small items in a load. Load large items first. Large items should not be more than
half the total wash load.
I
Washing single items is not recommended. This may cause an out-of-balance load. Add one or two
similar items.
I
Pillows and comforters should not be mixed with other items. This may cause an out-of-balance load.
I
Sort dark-colored clothes from light-colored clothes to prevent dye transfer. This is a high-efficiency
washer, so it uses less water, making dye transfer more common.
Loading the Washer
The wash drum may be fully loaded with loosely
added items. Do not wash garments containing
flammable materials (waxes, cleaning fluids, etc.).
