Grouping Similar Items
For the best washing results and to reduce the possibility of
damage to the clothing, care should be taken to sort the
clothing into loads that are made up of similar items. Mixing
different fabric types and/or soil levels can poor wash
performance, color transfer or discoloration, fabric damage or
linting Fabrics should be sorted into groups as described
below.
Colors
Sort articles by color. Wash dad,(clothes together in a
_parate load from light colors or whites. Mixing dark clothes
with light clothes can result in dye transfer or discoloration of
the lighter clothes.
Soil Level
Wash heavily soiled clothes together. Washing lightly soiled
clothes in the same load with heavily soiled clothes could
result in poor wash performance for the lightly soiled clothing.
Fabric Type
Delicate articles should not be mixed wRh heavier or sturdier
fabric types. Washing delicates in a load with heavy fabri_
can result in damage to the more delicate fabrics. Washing
heavier fabrics in a delicate load can resu_ in poor wash
performance for the heavier fabrics and possible damage to
the delicates.
Some fabrics attract and bind lint to them while others give off
lint in the laundry process. Avoid mixing the_ lint collectors
and lint producersin the same load. Mixing these fabrics will
result in pilling and linting on the lint collectors. (For example,
lint collector - knit sweater; lint producer -temycloth towels)
Loading the Washer
• Check 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.
• Close zippers, hooks, and drawstrings to prevent these
Ltemsfrom snagging or tangling on other clothes.
• Pretreat heavily stained areas for best results.
• Combine large and small items in a load. Load large items
first.
• Large _ems should not be more than half of the totai wash
load.
• The washer can be fully loaded, but the drum shouid not be
tightly packed with items. The door of the washer should
close easily.
• To prevent an out-of-balance load, do not wash single
items. Add one or two similar items to the load. Large, bulky
items, such as a blanket, comforter, or bedspread, should
be washed individually.
• Do not wash or spin waterproof items, such as rain coats,
sleeping bags, etc.
• When unloading the washer, check under the door seal for
small items.
NOTE: Make sure the door seal area is clear when dosing
the door. Overloading the washer can cau_ itemsto get
caught between the door and the seal. This can damage both
the items and the seal.
