OPERATING YOUR WASHER
Adding liquid chlorine bleach
Always measure liquid chlorine bleach. Do not guess. Never use more than 1 cup (250 mL) for a full load. Use less with lower load size settings. Follow manufac- turer’s directions for safe use. Use a cup with a pouring spout to avoid spilling.
1.Let the washer fill and begin agitating the load.
2.Add bleach to wash cycle so it can be removed in the rinse cycle. Pour bleach around agitator, not directly on load.
•Follow directions on care labels. Do not use chlorine bleach on wool, silk, spandex, acetates, or some flame- retardant fabrics.
•When soaking with chlorine bleach, add detergent to soak water.
NOTE: 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.
Adding liquid fabric softener
NOTE: Your washer does not come with a fabric softener dispenser installed.
To order the fabric softener dispenser (Part# 3350834), contact the store where you purchased your washer/dryer.
•Always dilute liquid fabric softener with
1⁄2 to 1 cup (125 to 250 mL) warm water. Undiluted fabric softener can stain fabrics.
•Add diluted fabric softener only in the final rinse.
•Fabric softener should not be mixed with other laundry products because greasy stains may form. If stains form, remove by wetting the stain and rubbing with liquid detergent or a bar of soap. Rewash the stained item.
•Too much fabric softener can make some items (diapers and towels) nonabsorbent. If this happens, use less fabric softener or do not use it every time.
