Loading the Washer
• Clothing or articles that are waterproof or
waterresistant 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.
General Tips
• Check and empty pockets. Paper clips, coins, matches,
etc.can damage clothing and the washer.
• Close zippers and hooks, and tie drawstrings to prevent
snagging or tangling of clothes.
• Pretreat heavily stained areas for best results.
• Brush off heavy soil, dust, and hair from items before
washing. Excess dirt or sand can abrade other fabrics
and lead to poor wash performance.
• For best performance, load clothes as shown.
- Do not press down on items while stacking them in
the drum.
- Load clothes loosely, and do not overfill the drum.
Clothes need room to circulate in order to get clean.
• Combine large and small items in the drum. Load large
items first. Large items should not be more than half of
total load.
