Starting Your Washer
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).
2.
(OPTIONAL) Pour measured
liquid chlorine bleach
into the
liquid chlorine bleach dispenser (on some models). Bleach
will be diluted automatically during the wash part of the cycle.
■
Never use more than 1 cup (250 mL) for a full load. Use
less with a smaller load size.
■
Follow the manufacturer’s directions for safe use.
■
To avoid spilling, use a cup with a pouring spout. Do not
let bleach splash, drip, or run down into the washer
basket.
■
Use only liquid chlorine bleach in this dispenser.
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.
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.

dampened with gasoline or other flammable
