Starting Your Washer
WARNING
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.
1.Drop a load of sorted clothes loosely into the 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.Style 1: Without Detergent Dispenser (on some models)
■Measure detergent and pour it into the washer. If desired, add powdered or liquid color safe bleach.
Style 2: With Detergent Dispenser (on some models)
■Pour measured powdered or liquid detergent into the detergent dispenser (on some models).
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
Style 2: With Chlorine Bleach Dispenser (on some models)
■Use only liquid chlorine bleach in this dispenser. Pour measured liquid chlorine bleach into the liquid chlorine bleach dispenser. Bleach is immediately fed into washer and diluted automatically during the wash part of the cycle. The Timed Bleach and Triple Dispenser models automatically dilute and add the bleach to the load at the right time.
NOTE: Do not add powder or liquid
Detergent Dispenser
3.(OPTIONAL) Add Liquid Chlorine Bleach.
NOTE: Follow the manufacturer’s directions for safe 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. Never use more than the manufacturer’s recommended amount for a full load. Use less with a smaller load size.
Style 1: Without 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.

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. Too much fabric softener can make some items (diapers and towels) nonabsorbent. If this happens, do not use it in every load, or use less of it in each load.
Style 1: Without Liquid Fabric Softener Dispenser (on some models)
■In the final rinse ONLY, add fabric softener that has been diluted with ¹⁄₂ to 1 cup (125 to 250 mL) warm water.
