1.Measure detergent and pour it into the washer. If desired, add powdered or liquid color safe bleach. Add extra detergent for the Super Wash cycle.
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. Overloading can cause poor cleaning.
■To reduce wrinkling of permanent press clothes and some synthetic knits, use a large load size to provide more space (see Step 5).
NOTE: On models without a bleach dispenser, see “Adding Liquid Chlorine Bleach.”
3.(OPTIONAL) Pour measured liquid fabric softener into the liquid fabric softener dispenser (on some models). 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 crossbar in the opening.
■Do not spill or drip any fabric softener on the clothes.
■Use only liquid fabric softener in this dispenser.
NOTE: On models without a fabric softener dispenser, see “Adding Liquid Fabric Softener.”
4.Close the washer lid. Washer will not agitate or spin with the lid open.
5.Turn the LOAD SIZE selector to the correct setting for your wash load and the type of fabric being washed.
■Choose a load size that allows the load to move freely for best fabric care. See “Loading.”
■You may change the load size selection after the washer has started filling by turning the selector to a different setting.
