USING YOUR WASHER
ADDING LIQUID FABRIC SOFTENER
•
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.
•
Always dilute 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 them by wetting the
stain and rubbing with liquid detergent or a bar
of soap. Rewash the stained item.
ADDING LIQUID CHLORINE BLEACH
Always measure liquid chlorine bleach. Do not
guess. Never use more than 1 cup (250 mL) for a full
load. Follow manufacturer’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 the wash cycle so it can be
removed in the rinse cycle. Pour bleach around
the agitator, not directly on the 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.
RINSE/DRAIN AND SPIN
Rinse and Spin feature
When using extra detergent for heavily soiled
clothes, or washing special-care items, you may
find an extra rinse and spin is needed.
•
For an additional rinse and spin, push in the
Cycle Control knob and turn it clockwise to any
of the Rinse settings. The washer fills to the
selected load size, agitates, drains, and spins.
Drain and Spin feature
A drain and spin may help shorten drying times for
some heavy fabrics or special-care items by
removing excess water.
•
For a drain and spin, push in the Cycle Control
knob and turn it clockwise to any of the Spin
settings. Then pull out the Cycle Control knob.
The washer drains, then spins.
