Measure detergent and pour it into the washer. If desired, add
powder or liquid color safe bleach. Add extra detergent for
the Super Wash/Heavy cycle.
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).

• 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.
(OPTIONAL) Pour measured liquid fabric softener into the
liquid fabric softener dispenser. Softener is added
automatically during the rinse portion of the cycle.
Dilute liquid fabric softener by filling the dispenser with warm
water until liquid reaches the crossbar in the opening.
• Do not spill or drip any fabric softener on the clothes.
• Use only liquid fabric softener in this dispenser.
Close the washer lid.
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.
• Some models have a variable water level control that lets
you select a water level anywhere from EXTRA SMALL to
SUPER PLUS. To change to a higher water level setting
after the washer has started to agitate, turn the knob to
RESET, then to the desired new setting.
Select a wash temperature with the WASH TEMPERATURE
selector. The selections are color-coordinated with the cycles
on the Cycle Control knob so you can select a water
temperature that matches the type of fabric and soils being
washed. Follow garment label instructions.
