Getting started - Washer
Fabric Softener

fills for the washer cycle.
1
Check clothing care labels for special instructions.
2
Measure liquid bleach carefully, following instructions
on the bottle.
Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly
onto clothes or into the wash basket.
Do not pour powdered bleach into bleach funnel.
Proper Use of Detergent
Using too little or too much detergent is a common cause
of laundry problems.
Use less detergent if you have soft water, a smaller load or
a lightly soiled load.
For spots, apply pre-treatment to items as recommended on
the product label. Application should be made in the basket to
prevent overspray which may cause the coloring on the lid or
graphics to fade.
Place liquid detergent into the dispenser. If you prefer
powdered detergent, place it in the bottom of the washer
before adding clothes.

2
Add diluted liquid fabric softener during the rinse
cycle or use a fabric softener ball.
Before starting the washer, pour measured amount of
3
bleach directly into "liquid bleach" funnel. Avoid
splashing or over-filling dispenser. If you prefer to use
powdered bleach, add it into the wash basket with
your detergent.
Do not mix chlorine bleach with an oxi pre-treatment,
ammonia or acids such as vinegar and/or rust
remover. Mixing can produce a toxic gas which may
cause death.
We recommend the use of High Efficiency detergents such
as in your energy efficient washer. HE detergents are
formulated to work with low water wash and rinse systems.
HE detergents reduce the oversudsing problems commonly
associated with regular detergents.
When using high efficiency or concentrated detergents,
consult the product label to determine amount required for
optimum performance. Excessive detergent will negatively
impact wash performance.
