Never pour undiluted liquid bleach directly onto

Measure bleach carefully.

Here are some recommended amounts:

How to Use the Soak Cycle

● 

SOAK CYCLE temperature

will automatically be cold.

● 

For a hot or warm soak, set

the 

 Temp. control

to HOT/COLD or
WARM/COLD and turn
the Cycle Selector knob
to MEDIUM cycle setting.

● 

Start the washer. After washer fills and begins to

agitate, push in the Cycle Selector knob and turn
to SOAK CYCLE. Pull out the Cycle Selector knob
to complete the cycle.

● 

For an extended soak,  allow the washer to fill and

agitate for a few minutes to dissolve the soaking
agent. Then push in the Cycle Selector knob to stop

the washer (keep lid closed) and allow to soak for as
long as desired. After desired soak period, pull out
the Cycle Selector knob to complete the cycle.

If your clothes and household
items don’t look clean and fresh
after washing, you will probably

rewash them... and that means
you’ll waste energy. Remember
to sort your clothes carefully,
and load them properly, select
correct cycles, use enough
detergent and  choose a 

water

temperature warm enough to
release and get rid of 

soil.

● 

Use Hot Wash—up to 

 a regular basis

only when washing heavily
soiled articles-such as work
and play clothes.

● 

Under normal soil conditions,

wash in water above 

 This generally

means using the Warm Wash
Temperature setting on your
washer—temperatures
approximately 

 

 or hand

comfortable. If you notice
that soil has accumulated after
several consecutive washings,
use Hot Wash occasionally, if
safe for fabrics.

● 

Try to wash less often. Save

articles of the same type of
fabric until you have a full load.

● 

If you must wash smaller

loads, adjust the amount of
water. Small loads should have
lower water levels.

● 

Wash in off-peak utility hours.

Your local utility can tell you
which are the off-peak hours.
