WASHER USE
Loading
For these suggested full-sized loads, set the LOAD SIZE selector to the highest load size setting.
Starting Your Washer
1. Measure detergent and pour it into the washer. If desired, add
powdered or liquid color safe bleach. 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. Overloading can cause poor cleaning.
2. (OPTIONAL) Add Liquid Chlorine Bleach.
Always measure liquid chlorine bleach. Do not guess. Never
use more than 1 cup (250 mL) for a full load. Follow
manufacturer’s directions for safe use. Use a cup with a
pouring spout to avoid spilling.
Let the washer fill and begin agitating the load. Add bleach to
the wash cycle so it can be removed in the rinse cycle. Pour
bleach around the agitator, not directly onto the load.
■
Follow directions on the care labels. Do not use chlorine
bleach on wool, silk, spandex, acetates, or some flame-
retardant fabrics.
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.
