WASHER USE
Starting Your Washer
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to
persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before
operating this appliance.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
WARNING
1. Measure detergent and pour it into the washer. If desired, add
powdered or liquid color safe bleach.
2. 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.
■ Load only to the top of the basket as shown. Overloading
can cause poor cleaning.
3. (OPTIONAL) Add liquid chlorine bleach.
NOTE: Follow the garment and the chlorine bleach
manufacturers’ directions for proper use. 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. To avoid spilling, use a cup with a pouring spout. Do not
let bleach splash, drip, or run down into the washer basket.
Always measure liquid chlorine bleach. Do not guess. Do not
use more than the manufacturer’s recommended amount for a
full load. Use less with a smaller load size.
Styles 1 and 2: With liquid chlorine bleach dispenser (on some
models)
■ Use only liquid chlorine bleach in this dispenser. Do not use
this dispenser to add powdered chlorine or color-safe bleach
to your wash load. Pour measured liquid chlorine bleach
into the liquid chlorine bleach dispenser. Bleach is
immediately fed into the washer and is diluted automatically
during the wash part of the cycle.
■ Dispensers on Timed Bleach models automatically dispense
bleach at the proper time in the cycle for optimal
performance, ensuring the cleanest and brightest loads.

Style 3: Without liquid chlorine bleach dispenser (on some
models)
■ Let the washer fill and begin agitating the load.
■ Add bleach 5 minutes into the wash cycle for best cleaning
and so that bleach can be removed in the rinse cycle. Pour
bleach around the agitator, not directly onto the load to
avoid damaging clothing or other items in the load.
4. (OPTIONAL) Add liquid fabric softener.
NOTE: Do not spill or drip any fabric softener onto the clothes.
Undiluted fabric softener can stain fabrics. Always dilute fabric
softener with warm water. Using too much fabric softener can
make some items (diapers and towels) nonabsorbent. If this
happens, do not use it in every load, or use less of it in each
load.
