• DO NOT overflow — avoid splashing.
Undiluted bleach will cause fabric damage.
• Pour the desired amount
of liquid bleach directly

PENSER. (To avoid poten-
tial fabric damage from,
undiluted bleach, we recom-
mend adding the bleach
after the washer has filled
with water and agitation has
started.)
