Always follow fabric manufacturer’s care label when laundering. 
Sorting Wash Loads
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.).
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.

Combine large and small items in a load. Load large items first. Large items should not be more than half 
the total wash load. 
Washing single items is not recommended. This may cause an out-of-balance load. Add one or two 
similar items.
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.
