RECOMMENDED LOAD SIZES
To reduce wrinkling, you should determine the load size based on the type(s) of fabrics being washed.
Cotton and Linen Fabrics—These items should be washed in full loads because the tumble action of the
tub along with the gentle rubbing, lifting and falling movement of the clothes gives the best cleaning result.
Permanent Press Fabrics—These items need more room to move freely during washing for the most
wrinkle-free results. Therefore, fill the machine only half full for permanent press items.
Delicate Fabrics—These fabrics, such as machine washable wool and silk, should only be washed in
one-third size loads for the best results.
CARE LABEL INSTRUCTIONS
Most clothes and other washable items have permanent care labels. Read these labels carefully! Care label
instructions and warnings should be followed for the best cleaning results. The table below defines the
typical symbols used on fabric care labels. (Note: Some manufacturers may use slightly different symbols.)
