according to color and type of fabric. Place a load of sorted
clothes in the washer. Do not overload washer. Overloading
can cause poor cleaning.
The washer can be fully loaded, but not tightly packed.
Washer door should close easily.
Mix large and small items. Avoid washing a single item.
Load evenly.
Wash small items, such as infant socks, in mesh garment
bags. It is a recommended that more than one garment
bag be used and that each garment bag be filled with
equal amounts of material.
When unloading garments, occasionally check under the
rubber rim at the front of the tub for small items.

clicks. The washer door will remain locked during the wash
cycle.
NOTE: After any wash cycle is completed, the door must be
opened and then closed before a new cycle can begin. The
door can be opened only if PAUSE/CANCEL is selected while
the ADD A GARMENT light is glowing or if the cycle has been
canceled. See "To cancel a cycle."

detergent, bleach, or fabric softener compartments. Close
drawer slowly to avoid spills. See "Using the Dispenser."
NOTE: For best performance, use High Efficiency detergents.
