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.

NOTE: The front loading washer rotates the
wet laundry to wash it with less water. If you
do not see the water during washing, it is not
a problem because the laundry is sufficiently
wet.
REMINDER: The load must have room to
tumble to wash effectively. Just because an
item can be forced into the drum does not
mean it should be washed in the machine. It
must be able to tumble.
