Load laundry into washer
Load garments in loose heaps evenly around basket wall. For
best results, do not pack the load tightly. Do not wrap large
items such as sheets around the agitator; load them in loose
piles around the sides of the basket. Try mixing different sized
items to reduce tangling.
IMPORTANT: Do not tightly pack or force items into washer.
Items need to move freely for best cleaning and to reduce
wrinkling and tangling.
(on some models)
Pour a measured amount of liquid fabric
softener into dispenser; always follow
manufacturer's directions for correct amount
of fabric softener based on your load size.
Dilute liquid fabric softener by filling the dispenser with warm
water until liquid reaches the underside of the rim. See Max Fill
line arrows. Then set Fabric Softener option knob to ON.
IMPORTANT: Fabric Softener option knob must be set to ON
to ensure proper distribution at correct time in cycle.
Adding Liquid Fabric Softener Manually to Wash Load
During the final rinse, wait until the washer has completed filling,
press the START/PAUSE/UNLOCK button to pause the washer.
Lift the lid and add the measured recommended amount of liquid
fabric softener. Do not allow liquid fabric softener to spill, splash,
drip, or run into the basket or on load. Do not use more than the
recommended amount. Close the lid and press the START/
PAUSE/UNLOCK button again to start the washer.
IMPORTANT: Fabric Softener option knob must be set to ON
to ensure proper distribution of the fabric softener during the
rinse portion of the cycle.
