USING YOUR WASHER

STARTING YOUR WASHER

wWARNING

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.Measure detergent and pour it into the washer.

If desired, you may

also add powder or liquid color-safe bleach.

Use less detergent when using a small load size.

2.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).

wWARNING

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.

3.(OPTIONAL STEP) Pour measured liquid chlorine bleach into the liquid chlorine bleach

dispenser. Bleach will

be diluted automatically during the wash part of the cycle.

Never use more than

1 cup (250 mL) for a

full load. Use less with

a smaller load size.

Follow the manufac-

turer’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.

Make sure you use only liquid chlorine bleach in this dispenser.
