Load Load dry items loosely, spacing evenly around agitator, and close the lid. A typical wash load: two twin sheets, two tablecloths, four collared shirts, three pillow cases, three small bath towels, three t-shirts, and three pairs of shorts. Place large items in bottom, small items in the middle and medium items on top. When loading wet items make sure you set the load/water level high enough to allow the items to move freely. Wash bulky items like blankets separately.
Helpful Information Specialty Care Guide Always follow Fabric Manufacturer’s Care Label or instructions when laundering. Otherwise use the information below as a general guide. Item Suggested Care Down-Filled Garments Always wash down-filled garments separately from other types of garments. Wet down gives off an odor that will disappear when the down is dried. Wash down items frequently to fluff up the down and to retain down’s warmth. When washing make sure the load is balanced.
