WARNING
LOADING YOUR WASHER
• You can fill the tub with dry, unfolded clothes, but DO NOT OVERLOAD the tub, No more than 3/4 full.
• Overloading may reduce washing efficiency, cause excess wear, and possibly cause creasing or
wrinkling of the load.
• Wash delicate items such as bras, hosiery, and other lingerie in the Delicates/Hand Wash cycle with
similar lightweight items.
• When washing big bulky items or a few smaller items that don't fill the tub completely – a rug, a pillow,
stuffed toys, or one or two sweaters, for example – add a few towels to improve spin performance.
• Do not insert bulky items except for Bedding in this cycle.
During the spin cycle, the washer may add additional water to redistribute the clothes and correct an
imbalance inside the drum.
• When washing heavily soiled loads, do not overload your washer to ensure good cleaning results.
• To add a forgotten item:
1. Press the Start/Pause button to pause the washer.
