[] Load only to the top of the basket as shown. Overloading can cause poor cleaning.
3= (Optional Step) Add liquid chlorine bleach.
NOTE: Follow the garment and the chlorine bleach manufacturers' directions for proper 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. Do not use more than the manufacturer's recommended amount for a full load.
Use less with a smaller load size.
Style 1: With liquid chlorine bleach dispenser (on some models)
[] Use only liquid chlorine bleach in this dispenser. Do not use this dispenser to add powdered chlorine or
Liquid chlorine
bleach dispenser
Style 2: Without liquid 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 to avoid damaging clothing or other items in the load.
4= (Optional Step) 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 on every load, or use less of it in each load.
Style 1: With liquid fabric softener dispenser (on some models)
[] Use only liquid fabric softener in this dispenser. Pour measured liquid fabric softener into the 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 lowest edge in the dispenser opening.
NOTE: If your unit has a Fabric Softener Switch (on some models), make sure to turn on this selection when using fabric softener.
Style 2: Without liquid fabric softener dispenser (on some models)
[] In the final rinse only, add fabric softener that has been diluted with 1/2to 1 cup (125 to 250 mL) warm water.
5= Close the washer lid.
6.Turn the WATER LEVEL selector to the correct setting for your wash load size and the type of fabric being washed. You may change the water level selection after the washer has started filling by turning the selector to a different setting.
NOTE: Your washer may be equipped with an Auto Load sensing water level feature that will automatically sense the size of the load and add enough water to efficiently clean the load. To insure the washer calculates the proper amount of water for the load size, do not open the lid or stop the washer once the cycle has started.
