10 OPERATION-WASHER Sorting Laundry CAUTION • Clothing or articles that are waterproof or water-resistant must be washed in the Waterproof, Bedding, Bulky/Large, or Jumbo Wash cycle only. (Examples include water resistant clothing, mattress covers, outdoor clothes, and plastic mats.) Failure to do so may result in personal injury or damage to the washer, clothes, walls, floor, and surrounding objects due to abnormal vibration. • Remove the stuffing from pillows and cushions before washing the covers. Failure to do so can cause excessive vibration, resulting in damage to the washer, clothes, nearby objects, walls, and floor. Grouping Similar Items For the best washing results, and to reduce the possibility of damage to clothing, sort clothing into loads 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. Fabrics should be sorted into groups as described below. Colors Sort articles by color. Wash dark clothes separately 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 together. Washing lightly soiled clothing in the same load with heavily soiled clothing could result in poor wash performance for the lightly soiled clothing. Fabric Type Delicate articles should not be mixed with heavy or sturdy fabric types. Washing heavy fabrics with delicates can result in poor wash performance for the heavy fabrics and possible damage to the delicates. 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 will result in pilling and linting on the lint collectors. (For example, lint collector - knit sweater; lint producer - terry cloth towels.)

cycle only. (Examples include water resistant clothing, mattress covers,
outdoor clothes, and plastic mats.) Failure to do so may result in personal injury or damage to the
washer, clothes, walls, floor, and surrounding objects due to abnormal vibration.
•
Remove the stuffing from pillows and cushions before washing the covers. Failure to do so can cause
excessive vibration, resulting in damage to the washer, clothes, nearby objects, walls, and floor.
Grouping Similar Items
For the best washing results, and to reduce the possibility of damage to clothing, sort clothing into loads
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. Fabrics should be sorted into groups as described below.
Colors
Sort articles by color. Wash dark clothes separately 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 together. Washing lightly soiled clothing in the same load with heavily soiled
clothing could result in poor wash performance for the lightly soiled clothing.
Fabric Type
Delicate articles should not be mixed with heavy or sturdy fabric types. Washing heavy fabrics with
delicates can result in poor wash performance for the heavy fabrics and possible damage to the delicates.
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 will result in pilling and
linting on the lint collectors. (For example, lint collector - knit sweater; lint producer - terry cloth towels.)
