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
• 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 items from snagging or tangling
on other clothes.
• Pre-treat heavily stained areas for best results.
• Combine large and small items in a load. Load
large items first.

• Large items should not be more than half of the
total wash load.
• The washer can be fully loaded, but the drum
should 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 clothes.
• When unloading the washer, check under the
door seal for small items.
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.
