1 Sort laundry into loads that can
be washed together.
• Sort items
by recom-
mended cycle
and water temperature.
• Separate white, light and colorfast items from dark
and non-colorfast items.
• Separate items that shed lint from items that
attract lint. Casual, synthetic, knit, and corduroy
items will pick up lint from towels, rugs, and che-
nille bedspreads.
• Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled
items.
• Separate lacy, sheer, loosely knit, or delicate items
from durable items.
• Do not machine wash items containing fi berglass.
Small particles of fi berglass left in the drum may
transfer to fabrics in other loads and cause skin
irritation.
2 Prepare items for washing.
• Empty pockets.
• Brush off lint and dirt. Shake out rugs and beach
towels.
• Close zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings and sashes,
and remove non-washable trims and ornaments.
• Mend rips and tears to prevent further damage
during washing.
• Turn knit items inside out to prevent pilling.
• Place delicate and small items such as bras, hosiery
and baby socks in a mesh bag.
• Combine large and small items in a load.
• Load large items fi rst. Large items should not be
more than half the total wash load.
• Washing single items such as a sweater, towel or
jeans is ineffi cient and may cause an out-of-bal-
ance load. Add 1 or 2 similar items to help balance
the load.
• Wash a single heavy item such as a king-sized
comforter, bedspread or sleeping bag separately.
• The washer can be fully loaded, but the items
should not be tightly packed. The door should close
easily.
3 Pretreat stains and heavy soil.
• See Stain Removal Guide in this guide for
safe, successful
stain removal
instructions.
4 Add laundry load to washer.
