Starting Your Washer

The following is a guide to starting your washer. Periodic
references to other sections of this manual provide more detailed
information.
1. Pour measured powdered or liquid detergent into the washer.
Add color-safe bleach (powdered or liquid) if needed. Be sure
to match powdered color-safe bleach with powdered
detergent or match liquid color-safe bleach with liquid
detergent.
2. Place a load of sorted clothes into the washer. See "Laundry
Tips."
■ Load evenly to maintain washer balance. Mix large and
small items.
■ Load only to the top of the basket as shown. Overloading
can cause poor cleaning. Items should move easily
through the wash water.

3. Pour measured liquid chlorine bleach into the liquid chlorine
bleach dispenser, if needed. Bleach is fed into the washer and
is diluted automatically during the wash cycle.

(250 mL) for a full load. Use less with a smaller load size.
■ Follow the garment and the chlorine bleach
manufacturer's directions for proper use.
■ To avoid spilling, use a cup with a pouring spout. Do not
let bleach splash, drip, or run down into the washer basket.

left in the dispenser. This is normal.
NOTE: Use only liquid chlorine bleach in this dispenser.
