Using Laundry Aids - Whirlpool LSS8244A Use And Care Manual

Using laundry aids
Follow package instructions when using
laundry aids. (See "Removing Stains" on pages
13-l 5 for more information.)
Fire or Expioaion Hazard
l
Store flammable solvents or liquids away
from your washer.
l
Dry cleaning solvents or fluids should not be
put directly into your washer.
l
kerns 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
l
Never use chlorine bleach with ammonia or
acids. Hazardous fumes can form.
l
Keep stain removal products out of the
reach of children . . . preferably in a locked
cabinet.
All-fabric bleach
l
Powdered or liquid all-fabric bleach may be
used on all types of fabrics.
l
Do not use all-fabric bleach in the bleach
dispenser because it may clog.
Chlorine bleach
l
Use your bleach dispenser. (See page 11.)
l
Follow directions on care labels. Do not use
chlorine bleach on wool, silk, spandex,
acetates, or some flame-retardant fabrics.
l
When soaking with chlorine bleach, add
detergent to soak water.
NOTE: Undiluted bleach will damage any
fabric it touches. The damage appears as tips,
holes, tears, or color loss, and may not show
up until several washings later.
Detergent
l
Using too little detergent is a common cause
of laundry problems. Follow manufacturer's
directions. Measure accurately, especially
when using ultra detergents. Package direc-
tions are usually based on:
-moderate water hardness (4-6 grains)
-lightly soiled items
-normal wash loads.
l
Use more detergent for:
-hard water
-cooler wash water
-full loads
-heavily soiled items.
l
Do not judge the amount of detergent to use
by the amount of suds in the machine. Low
sudsing detergents do not create as many
suds as normal sudsing detergents.
l
If the recommended amount of normal
sudsing detergent creates too many suds or
suds are present in the rinse water, try a low
sudsing detergent.
Fabric softeners
DO NOT USE liquid fabric softeners in this
washer. Use dryer fabric softeners instead.
