Most articles of clothing feature fabric care labels that 

include instructions for proper care.

For best results, sort clothes into loads that can be 

washed with the same wash cycle.
Different fabrics have different care requirements.
Always wash dark colors separately from light colors and 

whites to prevent discoloration. If possible, do not wash 

heavily soiled items with lightly soiled ones. The chart 

below shows recommended groupings.

Bulky items should be placed as far down in the wash 

basket as possible for optimal results. 

Always place buoyant items at the bottom of the wash 

basket. 

The washer will automatically detect the load size. 

Because of the high-efficiency wash system, the water 

level may not completely cover the load.
 •  Check all pockets to make sure that they are 

•  Close zippers, hooks, and drawstrings to  

prevent these items from snagging or tangling  

on other clothes.

• Pretreat heavily stained areas for best results.
•  Large items should not be more than half of the total 

wash load.

•  Do not wash fabrics containing flammable materials 

(waxes, cleaning fluids, etc.)

•  The washer will not fill or operate with the lid open.
*   IMPORTANT: Use the Bulky/Bedding cycle for large 

or bulky items such as poly-filled jackets, comforters, 

pillows, etc. These items may not be as absorbent 

as other laundry items and should be sorted into a 

separate wash load for optimal results.

This compartment holds laundry detergent for the main 

wash cycle, which is added to the load at the beginning 

of the cycle.  

Never exceed the detergent manufacturer’s 

recommendations when adding detergent.

Using too much detergent can result in detergent buildup 

in clothing and the washer.

The bleach dispenser automatically 

dilutes and dispenses liquid chlorine 

bleach at the proper time in the wash 

cycle.

        
        Check clothing care labels for special instructions.

        Measure liquid bleach carefully, following instructions on 

the bottle.

    •  Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto 

clothes or into the wash basket.

    •  Do not pour powdered bleach into bleach dispenser. Do 

not place load items on top of the bleach dispenser when 

loading and unloading the washer.

    •  Avoid overfilling or splashing when adding bleach to the 

dispenser. The maximum capacity of the bleach dispenser 

is one cup of bleach per wash cycle. Overfilling could result 

in premature dispensing of bleach.

        Before starting the washer, pour a pre-measured amount 

of bleach directly into bleach dispenser. If you prefer to 

use powdered bleach, add it into the wash basket directly 

before adding clothes.

NOTE: Please flush the bleach dispenser with water after bleach 

use and then rinse out the residue by use of  Rinse & Spin cycle.

This compartment holds liquid fabric softener, which will 

be automatically dispensed during the final rinse cycle.

•   Always follow the detergent manufacturer’s 

recommendations when adding fabric softener. Do not 

exceed the maximum fill line. Using too much fabric 

softener may result in stained clothes.

•  Dilute concentrated fabric softeners with warm 

water. Do not exceed the maximum fill line.

•  Never pour fabric softener directly onto the load 

or into the drum.

w

 Do NOT mix chlorine bleach with 

ammonia or acids, such as vinegar or rust / scale remover. 

Mixing chemicals like these can produce gas which may cause 

death.

Put the manufacturer’s recommended amount of undiluted liquid 

chlorine bleach into the bleach dispenser. During the final portion 

of the wash cycle, two sequential flushes of the dispenser put all 

the bleach into the wash load and completely flush the dispenser 

to eliminate the carryover of bleach to a subsequent load. Any 

liquid remaining in the bleach dispenser at the end of the cycle is 

water, not bleach. 

To prevent unintentional self-siphoning of the bleach, never fill 

the dispenser higher than the maximum fill level marked on the 

dispenser. 

When adding bleach to the dispenser, be careful to avoid spilling 

it into the laundry load or leaving droplets of bleach around the 

dispenser. These things will damage your laundry items.
