Owner's Manual

OPERATION 17
NOTE
• The washer rotates the laundry in a way that allows it to use less water while still fully saturating the clothing. It is
normal to be unable to see water during the wash cycle.
• If the temperature or the water level inside the machine is too high, the door will not unlock when the Start/Pause
button is pressed, and the Add Item function will not be available (on applicable models). To stop a cycle and drain the
water completely, turn the power off, then on, and then select the Rinse+Spin.
Sorting Laundry
CAUTION
• Clothing or articles that are waterproof or water-resistant must be washed in the Waterproof, Bedding, Bulky/Large, or
Jumbo Wash cycle only. (Examples include water resistant clothing, mattress covers, outdoor clothes, and plastic mats.)
Failure to do so may result in personal injury or damage to the washer, clothes, walls, floor, and surrounding objects
due to abnormal vibration.
• Remove the stuffing from pillows and cushions before washing the covers. Failure to do so can cause excessive
vibration, resulting in damage to the washer, clothes, nearby objects, walls, and floor.
Grouping Similar Items
For the best washing results, and to reduce the possibility of damage to clothing, sort clothing into loads made up of
similar items.
Mixing different fabric types and/or soil levels can result in poor wash performance, color transfer, discoloration, fabric
damage or linting. Fabrics should be sorted into groups as described below.
Colors
Sort articles by color. Wash dark clothes separately from light colors or whites. Mixing dark clothes with light clothes can
result in dye transfer or discoloration of the lighter clothes.
Soil Level
Wash heavily soiled clothing together. Washing lightly soiled clothing in the same load with heavily soiled clothing could
result in poor wash performance for the lightly soiled clothing.
Fabric Type
Delicate articles should not be mixed with heavy or sturdy fabric types. Washing heavy fabrics with delicates can result in
poor wash performance for the heavy fabrics and possible damage to the delicates.
Lint Type
Some fabrics attract and bind lint to them while others give off lint in the laundry process. Avoid mixing these lint
collectors and lint producers in the same load. Mixing these fabrics will result in pilling and linting on the lint collectors.
(For example, lint collector - knit sweater; lint producer - terry cloth towels.)
