Starting Your Washer
1. Measure detergent and pour it into the washer. If desired, add
powdered or liquid colour safe bleach. If the water
temperature is too low, dilute the detergent in warm water.
Add extra detergent for the Super Wash cycle. Follow
detergent manufacturer’s directions.
Drop a sorted load of clothes loosely into your washer.
■
Load evenly to maintain washer balance. Mix large and small
items. Larger items such as sheets should be added last.
■
Items should move easily through the wash water.
Overloading can cause poor cleaning.
■
To reduce wrinkling of permanent press clothes and some
synthetic knits, use a large load size to provide more space
(see step 5).
2. (OPTIONAL STEP) Pour measured liquid bleach into the liquid
bleach dispenser (on some models). Bleach will be dispensed
automatically during the wash part of the cycle.
■
Never use more than 250 mL (1 cup) for a full load. Use
less with a smaller load size.
■
Follow the manufacturer’s directions for safe use.
■
To avoid spilling, use a cup with a pouring spout. Do not
let bleach splash, drip, or run down into the washer
basket.
■
Use only liquid bleach in this dispenser.
NOTE: On models without a liquid bleach dispenser, see
“Adding Liquid Bleach.”
3. (OPTIONAL STEP) Pour measured liquid fabric softener into
the liquid fabric softener dispenser (on some models).
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 crossbar in the opening.
■
Do not spill or drip any fabric softener on the clothes.
■
Use only liquid fabric softener in this dispenser.
NOTE: On models without a fabric softener dispenser, see
“Adding Liquid Fabric Softener.”
4. Close the washer lid.
5. Turn the LOAD SIZE selector to the correct setting for your
wash load and the type of fabric being washed.
■
Choose a load size that allows the load to move freely for
best fabric care. See "Loading."
■
You may change the load size selection after the washer
has started filling by turning the selector to a different
setting. If your washer has a RESET option, first move the
selector to RESET, then to the new water level.
Fire Hazard
Never place items in the washer that are
dampened with petrol or other flammable fluids.
No washer can completely remove oil.
Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of
oil on it (including cooking oils).
Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into an earthed plug socket outlet.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
death, fire, or electrical shock.
Do not use an extension cord.
Do not use an adaptor.
