OPERATING TIPS

Pour liquid chlorine bleach into bleach dis- penser.

Chlorine bleach dispenser

The dispenser automatically dilutes liquid chlorine bleach before it reaches your wash load. To use, follow these steps:

1.Measure liquid chlorine bleach carefully, following the instructions on the bottle.

2.Add the bleach to the dispenser before adding the load. Avoid splashing or over- filling the dispenser. Wipe up spills.

Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto the load or into the wash tub. It is a powerful chemical and can cause fabric damage, such as tearing or color loss, if not used prop- erly.

If you prefer to use color-safe, non- chlorine bleach, pour it into the wash tub with your detergent. Do not pour non-chlorine bleaches into the bleach dispenser.

Pour liquid fabric softener into cup and dilute with warm water.

Fabric softener dispenser

This dispenser automatically releases liquid fabric softener at the proper time during the cycle. To use, follow these steps:

1.Pour liquid fabric softener into the dis- penser using the amount recommended on the package.

2.Add warm water to the dispenser until it reaches the MAX line. Wipe up spills.

Do not stop the washer during the first spin. This will cause the dispenser to empty too soon.

Never pour fabric softener directly on the load. It will leave spots and stains.

Use the dispenser for liquid fabric sof- teners only. Clean the area in and around the dispenser frequently with hot water, detergent and a soft brush.

Add detergent before the load.

Detergent

Use either liquid or granular laundry detergent. For best results, be sure detergent is added to the washer BEFORE the load and be sure wash water is above 65˚ F.

Use the correct amount of detergent for the load size, soil level and water condi- tions. Use more detergent if you have hard water and very soiled loads.

If you have soft water or a lightly soiled load, use less detergent. (See manufac- turer’s instructions.)

Wipe up any detergent spills on the washer.
