INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 15 ENGLISH SORTING WASH LOADS CAUTION yy Do not load items higher than the top edge of the tub. Failure to follow this caution can result in leakage or damage to fabrics. yy Use the Bedding cycle in the full-size washer for buoyant or nonabsorbent items such as pillows or comforters. Refer to owner's manual included with washing machine. Failure to follow this caution can result in leakage. FABRIC CARE LABELS Many articles of clothing include a fabric care label. Using the chart below, adjust the cycle and option selections to care for your clothing according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Fabric Care Labels GROUPING SIMILAR ITEMS For the best washing results, and to reduce the possibility of damage to clothing, sort the clothing into loads that are made up of similar items. Mixing different fabric types and/or soil levels can result in poor wash performance, color transfer, discoloration, fabric damage or linting. Sort fabrics into groups as described below. COLORS Sort articles by color. Wash dark clothes together in a separate 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 clothing in the full-sized washer. Washing lightly soiled clothing in the same load with heavily soiled clothing could result in poor wash performance for the lightly soiled clothing. The pedestal washer is optimized for use with lightly soiled and delicate items. FABRIC TYPE Do not mix delicate items with heavier or sturdier fabrics. Washing heavier fabrics in a delicate load can result in poor wash performance for the heavier fabrics and possible damage to the delicate items. LINT TYPE Some fabrics attract and bind lint to them while others give off lint in the laundry process. Avoid mixing these lint collectors and lint producers in the same load. Mixing these fabrics results in pilling and linting on the lint collectors. (For example, lint collector - knit sweater; lint producer - terry cloth towels.) SORT LAUNDRY...

Items such as clips, matches, pens, coins, and keys can damage both the washer and the clothes. yy Close zippers, hooks, and drawstrings to prevent these items from snagging or tangling on other clothes. yy Pretreat heavily stained areas for best results. yy 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 in the fullsize washer. yy The washer will not fill or operate with the lid open. yy Don't overload the tub. Clothes should fit loosely in the tub under the maximum fill line. Loading clothes over the fill line may result in damage to clothing and the washer. CAUTION yy Close the lid until it clicks before sliding the drawer in to begin the cycle. yy Press to open the lid. Do not force the lid of the washing machine open. Doing so may damage the machine.
