WASHER USE
Starting Your Washer
WARNING
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.
WARNING
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.
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.
Style 1: With liquid chlorine bleach dispenser (on some models)
Use only liquid chlorine bleach in this dispenser. Do not use this dispenser to add powdered chlorine or
Style 2: 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.
