■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) 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. Using too much fabric softener can make some items (diapers and towels) nonabsorbent. If this happens, do not use it in 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 underside of the rim. See max fill line arrows.

Style 2: Without liquid fabric softener dispenser (on some models)

■In the final rinse only, add fabric softener that has been diluted with ¹⁄₂ to 1 cup (125 to 250 mL) warm water.

5.Close the washer lid. Washer will not agitate or spin with the lid open.

6.Turn the LOAD SIZE or WATER LEVEL selector to the correct setting for your wash load and the type of fabric being washed.

■You may change the load size or water level selection after the washer has started filling by turning the selector to a different setting.

■On models with a variable Load Size or Water Level control, you should turn the knob to RESET, then to desired setting.

7.Select a Wash Temperature based on the type of fabric and soil being washed. Use the warmest wash water safe for the fabric. Follow garment label instructions.

The Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) (on some models) electronically senses and maintains a uniform water temperature by regulating incoming hot and cold water.

■Even in Cool wash, some warm water is let into the washer to maintain a minimum temperature of approximately 70ºF (21ºC).

Temperature Guide

Wash Temp	Suggested Fabrics
Hot	Whites and pastels
	Durable garments
	Heavy soils
Warm	Bright colors
	Moderate to light soils
Cool	Colors that bleed or fade
	Light soils
Cold	Dark colors that bleed or fade
	Light soils

NOTE: In wash water temperatures colder than 60°F (15.6°C), detergents do not dissolve well. Soils can be difficult to remove. Some fabrics can retain wear wrinkles and have increased pilling (the formation of small lint-like balls on the surface of garments).

8.You can customize your wash by adding rinse Options to your cycle selections. This knob has settings for:

■Extra Rinse - Selecting this option provides a second rinse. An Extra Rinse can be added to any wash cycle.

■Cycle Signal - A tone will sound at the end of the cycle. The sound level cannot be adjusted.

■Extra Rinse & Cycle Signal - This option combines both a Extra Rinse and a Cycle Signal at the end of the wash cycle.

9.The SensiCare™ System (on some models) is an integrated set of controls which work together to provide optimal wash temperatures, agitation times, and agitation/spin speeds based on the Fabric Select setting. The controls provide higher wash temperatures for more aggressive, heavy-duty cycles and slightly lower temperatures on cycles for delicate and hand wash items, to provide better fabric care. The timer knob allows you to decrease agitation time for light soils and increase agitation time for heavy soils.
