ENGLISH
• 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.
Fabric Care Labels
Many articles of clothing include a fabric care label. Using the chart below, adjust the cycle and option
selections to care for your clothing according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Loading the Washer
• Clothing or articles that are waterproof or water-
resistant must be washed in the Bedding 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, and other items 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.
