Loading the Washer
Check and empty pockets. Paper clips, coins, matches, etc. 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.
Brush off heavy soil, dust, and hair from items before washing. Excess dirt or sand can abrade other fabrics and lead to poor wash performance.
For best performance, load clothes as shown.
Do not overload the tub. Clothes should fit loosely in the tub under the maximum fill line a. Loading clothes over the fill line may result in damage to clothing and the washer.
Do not press down on items while stacking them in the tub.
Load clothes loosely, and do not overfill the tub. Clothes need room to circulate in order to get clean.
The washer will not fill or operate with the lid open.
Do not wash rugs, mats, shoes, pet bedding, or any items other than clothes or sheets, in this washer.
Press to open the lid. Do not force the lid of the washing machine open. Doing so may damage the machine.
Bulky Items
Large, bulky items, such as a blanket, comforter, or bedspread, should be washed individually in the full-size washer.
Small Items
Do not wash a single small item. Add enough similar items to the load to prevent an out-of-balance load.
