Laundry aids

Follow package instructions when using laundry aids. (See “Removing Stains” on page 11. for more information.)

Chlorine bleach

l Use bleach dispenser.

l Follow directions on care labels. Do not use chlorine bleach on wool, silk, spandex, acetates or some flame-retardant fabrics.

l Measure bleach. Do not guess. For this washer, never use more than Vz cup (125 mL) for a full load. Add bleach to wash cycle so it can be removed in the rinse cycle.

l When soaking with chlorine bleach, add detergent to soak water.

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.

All-fabric bleach

l Powdered or liquid all-fabric bleach may be used on all types of fabrics.

lDo not use all-fabric bleach in the bleach dispenser because it may clog.

Detergent

l Using too little detergent is a common cause of laundry problems. Package directions are usualfy based on:

-moderate water hardness (4-6 grains) -lightly soiled items

-normal mix loads.

l Use more detergent for: -hard water

-cooler wash water -full loads

-heavily soiled items.

l Do not judge the amount of detergent to use by the amount of suds in the machine. Low sudsing detergents do not create as many suds as normal sudsing detergents.

l If the recommended amount of normal sudsing detergent creates too many suds, try a low sudsing detergent. Do not reduce the amount of normal sudsing detergent.

Fabric softeners

l Always dilute fabric softeners with

l/z to 1 cup (125 to 250 mL) warm water. Undiluted fabric softener can stain fabrics.

l Use fabric softener dispenser.

l Fabric softeners should not be mixed with other laundry products because greasy stains may form. lf stains form, remove by wetting the stain and rubbing with liquid detergent or a bar of soap. Rewash the stained item.

l Too much fabric softener can make some items non-absorbent (diapers and towels). If this happens, use less fabric softener or do not use it every time.

Flre or Explosion Hazard

l Store flammable solvents or liquids away from your washer.

l Dry cleaning solvents or fluids should not be put directly into your washer.

l Items treated with solvents should be rinsed and air dried before washing in your washer.

The fumes from these substances can create a fire hazard or explosion.

Personal Injury Hazard

l Never use chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids. Hazardous fumes can form.

l Keep stain removal products out of the reach of children .. . preferably in a locked cabinet.
