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.
• Pretreat 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 washload.
• 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.
