Starting Your Washer

Fire Hazard
Never place items in the washer that are
dampened with gasoline or other flammable
fluids.
No washer can completely remove oil.
Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of
oil on it (including cooking oils).
Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
WARNING
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.
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.
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 5).
3. (OPTIONAL STEP) Pour measured liquid chlorine
bleach into the liquid chlorine bleach dispenser (on
some models). 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.
Use only liquid chlorine bleach in this dispenser.
4. Close the washer lid.
5. Turn the LOAD SIZE selector to the correct setting for
your wash load and the type of fabric being washed.
Choose a load size that allows the load to move
freely for best fabric care. See "Loading".
You may change the load size selection after the
washer has started filling by turning the selector to a
different setting.
