Starting Your Washer
1. Measure detergent and pour it into the washer. If desired, add
powdered or liquid color safe bleach. Add extra detergent for
the Super Wash cycle.
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.
■
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 chlorine bleach into
the liquid chlorine bleach dispenser. Bleach will be dispensed
automatically during the wash part of the cycle. See
“SMARTBLEACH
™
Timed Bleach Dispenser.”
■
Never use more than 1 cup (250 mL) for a full load. Use
less for 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 chlorine bleach in this dispenser.
3. (OPTIONAL STEP) Pour measured liquid fabric softener into
the liquid fabric softener 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 crossbar in the opening.
■
Do not spill or drip any fabric softener on the clothes.
■
Use only liquid fabric softener in this dispenser.
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.
