directions. Measure accurately, especially
when using ultra detergents. Package
directions are usually based on:

-lightly soiled items
-normal mix loads.
l Use more detergent for:
-hard water
-cooler wash water
-full loads
-heavily soiled items.

by the amount of suds in the machine. Low
sudsing detergents do not create as many
suds as normal sudsing detergents.

Fabric softeners 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) non-absorbent. If
this happens, use less fabric softener or do
not use it every time.

*Store flammable solvents or liquids away
from your washer.
l Dry cleaning solvents or fluids should not
be put directly into your washer.
l Items treated with solvents should be
rinsed and air dried before washing in
your washer.
The fumes from these substances can
create a fire hazard or explosion.
Personal Injury Hazard
. Never use chlorine bleach with ammonia
or acids. Hazardous fumes can form.
*Keep stain removal products out of the
