givers inside out.
•
Separate dark colors from light colors,
colorfast items from noncolorfast items.

cottons, knits, delicate items).
•
Load by the amount of space items take
up, not by their weight.
•
Mix large and small items in each load.
Load evenly to maintain
washer balance. An off-
balance load can make the
washer vibrate during spin.
•
Use a large load size setting to reduce
wrinkling with permanent press clothes and

have more room to move in the water than
heavy items (towels, jeans).
•

size setting. Loads with only a few small
items need less wash time.
