WASHER USE
Loading
For these suggested full-sized loads, set the LOAD SIZE selector to the highest load size setting.
Starting Your Washer
1. Measure detergent and pour it into the washer. If desired, add 
powdered or liquid color safe bleach. 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.
2. (OPTIONAL) Add Liquid Chlorine Bleach.
NOTE: Follow the manufacturer’s directions for safe 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. Never use more than the 
manufacturer’s recommended amount for a full load. Use less 
with a smaller load size.
Style 1: With Chlorine Bleach Dispenser (on some models)
Use only liquid chlorine bleach in this dispenser. Pour 
measured liquid chlorine bleach into the liquid chlorine 
bleach dispenser. Bleach is immediately fed into washer and 
is diluted automatically during the wash part of the cycle. 
Style 2: Without 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.
