Washer Use - Whirlpool ATW4475V User Instructions

STARTING YOUR WASHER
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to
persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before
operating this appliance.
IMPORTANT: When washing any article of clothing, always
follow fabric care labels and manufacturer's directions.
1. Measure detergent and add to the bottom of the washer. If
desired, add oxi or color-safe bleach products to the bottom
of the washer as well.
2. Loosely add sorted load of clothes to wash basket.
Load evenly to maintain washer balance.
■
Mix large and small items.
■
Use garment bags for smaller items.
■
Load only to the top of the basket as shown. Overloading
may cause poor cleaning, poor distribution of laundry
products, and an unbalanced wash load.
3. Add only liquid chlorine bleach to the dispenser. Bleach
is immediately added into the washer and is diluted
automatically during the wash cycle.
NOTE:
Do not use this dispenser to add powdered chlorine
or color-safe bleach to your load.
Style 1: Without liquid chlorine bleach dispenser
(on some models).
Let the washer fill and begin agitating the load.
■
Add bleach 5 minutes into the wash cycle for best
■
dispensing. Pour bleach around the agitator, not directly
onto the load to avoid damaging clothing or other
items in the load.
