Loading and using the washer.

Always follow fabric manufacturer’s care label when laundering.

Sorting Wash Loads

Colors	Soil	Fabric	Lint
Whites	Heavy	Delicates	Lint Producers
Lights	Normal	Easy Care	Lint Collectors
Darks	Light	Sturdy Cottons

„Combine large and small items in a load. Load large items first. Large items should not be more than half the total wash load.

„Pillows and comforters should not be mixed with other items. This may cause an out-of-balance load.

„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.

WARNING - Fire Hazard

Never place items in the washer that are dampened with gasoline or other flammable liquids.

No washer can completely remove oil.

Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on it (including cooking oils).

Doing so so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

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.).

Loading Examples

To add items after the washer has started, press Start/ Pause and wait until the door is unlatched. The washer may take up to 30 seconds to unlock the door after pressing Start/Pause, depending on the machine conditions. Do not try to force the door open when it is locked. After the door unlocks, open gently. Add items, close the door and press Start/Pause to restart.
