Using the liquid chlorine bleach dispenser
(on some models)
Always measure liquid chlorine bleach. Do
not guess. Never use more than 1 cup
(250 mL) for a full load. Use less with lower
water level settings. Follow manufacturer’s
directions for safe use. Use a cup with a
pouring spout to avoid spilling.
1.
Load the washer.
2.
Pour measured chlorine bleach carefully
into the dispenser. Do not let bleach
splash, drip, or run down into washer
basket. Undiluted bleach will damage any
fabric it touches.
3.
Start the washer. Bleach will be diluted
and dispensed automatically during wash
part of cycle.
Adding liquid chlorine bleach
(on models with no bleach dispenser)
Always measure liquid chlorine bleach. Do
not guess. Never use more than 1 cup
(250 mL) for a full load. Follow manu-
facturer’s directions for safe use. Use a cup
with a pouring spout to avoid spilling.
1.
Let the washer fill and begin agitating
the load.
2.
Add bleach to wash cycle so it can be
removed in the rinse cycle. Pour bleach
around agitator, not directly on load.
NOTE:
Do not use this dispenser to add
powdered chlorine or color safe bleach to
your wash load. The dispenser is for liquid
chlorine bleach use only.
•
Follow directions on care labels. Do not
use chlorine bleach on wool, silk,
spandex, acetates, or some flame-
retardant fabrics.
•
When soaking with chlorine bleach, add
detergent to soak water.
NOTE:
Undiluted bleach will damage any
fabric it touches. The damage appears as
rips, holes, tears, or color loss and may not
show up until several washings later.
