WARNING
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before operating this appliance.
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.
1.Measure detergent and pour it into the washer. If desired, add powdered or liquid color safe bleach.
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.
■Load only to the top of the basket as shown. Overloading can cause poor cleaning.
■Dispensers on Timed Bleach models automatically dispense bleach at the proper time in the cycle for optimal performance, ensuring the cleanest and brightest loads.
3.(OPTIONAL) Add liquid chlorine bleach.
NOTE: Follow the garment and the chlorine bleach manufacturers’ directions for proper use. 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. To avoid spilling, use a cup with a pouring spout. Do not let bleach splash, drip, or run down into the washer basket. Always measure liquid chlorine bleach. Do not guess. Do not use more than the manufacturer’s recommended amount for a full load. Use less with a smaller load size.
Styles 1 and 2: With liquid chlorine bleach dispenser (on some models)

Style 3: Without liquid chlorine bleach dispenser (on some models)
■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.
