Bleach
Choosing the right cycle
Remember to check clothing labels before you begin to ensure that garments are bleach
compatible.
If you wish to use bleach please select the BLEACH option by using the OPTIONS button. The
bleach will be diluted and automatically released into the wash at the correct stage in the cycle.
This ensures maximum bleach efficiency and optimum clothes care. If the BLEACH option is not
selected, bleach will not be dispensed into the wash and will drain safely away prior to the end
of the cycle.
When washing white items, select the WHITES cycle for best performance with bleach. When
washing colors, use color-safe bleach and select the EASY IRON cycle, and High Efficiency OFF.
How much bleach do I use and where do I put it?
Liquid Bleach
Your AquaSmart™ washer requires less bleach than traditional
top loading washers. Always follow the manufacturer’s
recommended dosage. Pour the recommended dosage of
bleach into a measuring cup with a spout, then carefully pour
this into the bleach dispenser ensuring that it does not fill
higher than the MAX level. Adjust the amount of bleach you
use to the load size, eg for smaller loads use less bleach.
Important!
■ ■
Do not fill the bleach dispenser above the MAX fill mark.
■ ■
Do not pour undiluted, liquid chlorine bleach directly onto clothes.
■ ■
Use only liquid chlorine bleach in this dispenser.
■ ■
To avoid splashing and spills we recommend the use of a cup with a pouring spout.
Note: both liquid and powdered color-safe bleach can be used in your AquaSmart™ washer.
■ ■
If you use a powdered detergent, use a powdered color-safe bleach (however add this to the
detergent dispenser NOT the bleach dispenser. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions).
■ ■
If you are using liquid detergent, use a liquid color-safe bleach (add the bleach to the bleach
dispenser. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions).
Failure to follow the instructions above could result in damage to clothing.
