Load large items first. Large items should not be more than half the total wash load. „Pillows and comforters should not be mixed with other items. This may cause an out-of-balance load. „Sort dark-colored clothes from light-colored clothes to prevent dye transfer. This is a high-efficiency washer, so it uses less water, making dye transfer more common. WARNING - Fire Hazard Never place items in the washer that are dampened with gasoline or other flammable liquids. No washer can completely remove oil. Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on it (including cooking oils). Doing so so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
