WASHER USE
Starting Your Washer
1. Measure detergent and pour it into the washer. If desired, add
powdered or liquid color safe bleach.
2. Drop a sorted load of clothes loosely into your washer.
■
Load evenly to maintain washer balance. Mix large and
small items. Items should move easily through the wash
water.
■
Load only to the top of the basket as shown. Overloading
can cause poor cleaning.
3. (OPTIONAL) Add liquid chlorine bleach.
NOTE: Follow the garment and the chlorine bleach
manufacturers’ directions for proper use. 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. To avoid spilling, use a cup with a pouring
spout. Do not let bleach splash, drip, or run down into the
washer basket. Always measure liquid chlorine bleach. Do not
guess. Do not use more than the manufacturer’s
recommended amount for a full load. Use less with a smaller
load size.
Style 1: With liquid chlorine bleach dispenser (on some models)
■
Use only liquid chlorine bleach in this dispenser. Do not
use this dispenser to add powdered chlorine or color-safe
bleach to your load. Pour measured liquid chlorine bleach
into the liquid chlorine bleach dispenser. Bleach is
immediately fed into washer and is diluted automatically
during the wash part of the cycle.
Style 2: Without liquid chlorine bleach dispenser (on some
models)
■
Let the washer fill and begin agitating the load.
■
Add bleach 5 minutes into the wash cycle for best cleaning
and so that bleach can be removed in the rinse cycle. Pour
bleach around the agitator, not directly onto the load to
avoid damaging clothing or other items in the load.
4. (OPTIONAL) Add liquid fabric softener.
NOTE: Do not spill or drip any fabric softener onto the clothes.
Undiluted fabric softener can stain fabrics. Always dilute fabric
softener with warm water. Using too much fabric softener can
make some items (diapers and towels) nonabsorbent. If this
happens, do not use on every load, or use less of it in each load.
Style 1: With liquid fabric softener dispenser (on some models)
■
Use only liquid fabric softener in this dispenser. Pour
measured liquid fabric softener into the dispenser.
Softener is added automatically during the rinse portion of
the cycle. Dilute liquid fabric softener by filling the
dispenser with warm water until liquid reaches the
underside of the rim. See max fill line arrows.
Fire Hazard
Never place items in the washer that are dampened
with gasoline or other flammable fluids.
No washer can completely remove oil.

it (including cooking oils).
Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
