18 OPERATION
• For best results, load dry items only. If washing
very wet items, wring out excess water before
loading, or run a Spin Only cycle to extract
excess water before adding detergent and
starting the desired cycle.
• The washer can be fully loaded, but the tub
should not be tightly packed with items. The lid
of the washer must close easily.
• The washer will not fill or operate with the lid
open.
• Do not 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.
- Do not press down on items while stacking
them in the tub.
- Load clothes loosely, and do not overfill the
tub. Clothes need room to circulate in order to
get clean.
Bulky Items
• Do not wash entire pillows or cushions. Remove
pillow or cushion inserts and wash the covers
only.
• Use the Bedding 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 best performance.
• Bulky items should be placed as far down in the
tub as possible for best performance. Always
place buoyant items at the bottom of the tub.
The washer will automatically detect the load
size. Because of the high efficiency wash system,
the water level may not completely cover the
load.
Small Items
• Do not wash a single small item. Add enough
similar items to the load to prevent an out-of-
balance load.
• Wash small, light items in a mesh bag. Small
items can get caught in the impeller at the
bottom of the tub, and brassiere hooks can
damage other items or the tub.
General Tips for Models with an
Impeller
If the appliance uses a low profile rotating hub in
the drum, follow these instructions when loading
the washer.
• For best performance, load clothes as shown.
.
a
• Wash thick, bulky items individually. Heavy
blankets, comforters, bedspreads, or pet beds
can get tangled or cause an unbalanced load if
combined with other items.
Adding Cleaning Products
About Detergent Use
This washer is designed for use with only HE (High-
Efficiency) detergents.
• HE detergents produce fewer suds, dissolve
more efficiently to improve washing and rinsing
performance, and help to keep the interior of
the washer clean. Using detergent that is not HE
may cause oversudsing and unsatisfactory
performance which could result in error codes,
cycle failure, and washer damage.
• Detergents designated as HE-compatible may
not provide optimal results.
