Starting Your Washer
1. Measure detergent and pour it into the washer. 
If desired, add powder or liquid color safe bleach. 
Add extra detergent for the Super Wash/Heavy 
cycle.
2. Drop a sorted load of clothes loosely into your washer, 
filling to the top row of holes. 
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 6).
3. (OPTIONAL STEP) Pour measured liquid chlorine 
bleach into the liquid chlorine bleach dispenser. 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.
Make sure you use only liquid chlorine bleach in this 
dispenser.
4. (OPTIONAL STEP) Pour measured liquid fabric 
softener into the liquid fabric softener dispenser.
Do not spill or drip any fabric softener on the 
clothes.
Make sure you use only liquid fabric softener in this 
dispenser.

dampened with gasoline or other flammable
