LG WM1377HW Series - HOW TO USE; Sorting Wash Loads

SORTING WASH LOADS
H O W TO U S E
Fabric Care Labels
Most articles of clothing feature fabric care labels
that include instructions for proper care.
Grouping Similar Items
For best results, sort clothes into loads that can
be washed with the same wash cycle.
Different fabrics have different care requirements.
Always wash dark colors separately from light
colors and whites to prevent discoloration. If
possible, do not wash heavily soiled items with
lightly soiled ones. The chart below shows
recommended groupings.

Loading the Washer
UÊÊCheck all pockets to make sure that they
are empty. Items such as clips, matches,
pens, coins, and keys can damage both your
washer and your clothes.

on other clothes.

the load. Large, bulky items, such as a blanket,
comforter, or bedspread should be washed
individually.

NOTE: The front loading washer rotates the
wet laundry to wash it with less water. If you
do not see the water during washing, it is not
a problem because the laundry is sufficiently
wet.
REMINDER: The load must have room to
tumble to wash effectively. Just because an
item can be forced into the drum does not
mean it should be washed in the machine. It
must be able to tumble.
