WASHER USE
Starting Your Washer
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to
persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before
operating this appliance.
The following is a guide to starting your washer. Periodic
references to other sections of this manual provide more detailed
information.
1.
Pour measured powdered or liquid detergent into the washer.
If desired, add powdered or liquid color safe bleach.
2.
Place a load of sorted clothes in the washer. Load to a level
shown.
■
Load evenly to maintain washer balance. Mix large and
small items. See “Loading.”
■
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 6.
3.
Pour measured liquid chlorine bleach into the liquid chlorine
bleach dispenser, if needed. Bleach is diluted and
automatically dispensed at the proper time during the wash
cycle.
■
Do not overfill. Do not use more than 1 cup (250 mL) 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.
NOTE:
Use only liquid chlorine bleach in this dispenser.
4.
Pour measured liquid fabric softener into the fabric softener
dispenser, if desired.
Do not overfill. The dispenser holds 3 oz. (94 mL), or a capful
of fabric softener.
■
Add warm water to fill the dispenser until it reaches the
crossed opening at the bottom of the funnel-shaped
portion of the dispenser.
■
The fabric softener is dispensed into the first deep rinse
water automatically.
■
Do not spill or drip any fabric softener on the clothes.
NOTE:
Use only liquid fabric softener in this dispenser.
5.
Close the washer lid.

Fire Hazard
Never place items in the washer that are dampened
with gasoline 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.
