• Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled items.

• Separate lacy, sheer, loosely knit, or delicate items from durable items.

• Do not machine wash items containing fiberglass. Small particles of fiberglass left in the drum may transfer to fabrics in other loads and cause skin irritation and/or damage to fabrics.

•Empty pockets.

• Place delicate and small items such as bras, hosiery and baby socks in a mesh bag.

•Follow detergent manufacturer’s directions. The amount required depends on type of detergent, load size and soil level, and water hardness.

5If desired, add liquid bleach to bleach dispenser.

•Before adding the wash load, add liquid bleach to bleach dispenser located in left front corner under the lid:

•Brush off lint and dirt. Shake out rugs and beach towels.

•Close zippers, fasten hooks, button buttons, tie strings and sashes, and remove non-washable trims and ornaments.

•Mend rips and tears to prevent further damage during washing.

•Turn knit items inside out to prevent pilling.

•Refer to bleach manufacturer’s directions for quan- tity to add.

•Then add 1 cup (240 ml) water to flush the dis- penser.
