can be washed and dried together.

See the Laundry Guide for informa-

tion and samples of typical loads.

best movement in the washer.

2. Measure Detergent; Add to

Washer Basket.

See detergent information on page

6 and in Section IV of the Laundry

Guide.

3. load the Washer.

Load without packing so items can

move freely for best cleaning and

least wrinkling.

Spread the load evenly. (Don’t put

all the towels on one side and a few

wash cloths on the other.] An unbal-

anced load can cause the washerto

shake during spinning.

4. Pour liquid Bleach into the

Dispenser.

See page 5 and the “Laundry

Aids” section of the Laundry Guide for

more information.

5. Add Diluted Fabric Softener to the

Dispenser.

Using the

Dispensers

You may want to use liquid

bleach and fabric softener in some

loads. Your washer has dispensers

designed to automatically add these

liquid laundry aids at the correct time.

Follow the product package

recommendations carefully. Use the dis-

pensers for best results.

liquid Bleach Dispenser

The bleach dispenser

under the

Ird of the washer in the front corner. It

has the words. LIQUID BLEACH, on It

Before starting the washer, but after

loading it, add the bleach.

Use a measurtng cup with a pouring

spout to help avoid spelling or spattering

the bleach

Follow the directions on the bottle for

the amount to use Never use more

than 1 cup (250 mL) for a full load.

Use less with lower water level

settings.

Use a standard

measuring cup with

a pouring \

spout to fill

dispensers.

Do not let any bleach run down

into the washer basket. Concen-

trated bleach will damage any

fabric.

liquid Fabric

Softener Dispenser

The dispenser for liquid fabric

softener fits over the top of the agitator.

The dispenser will hold enough diluted

fabric softener for one deep rinse.

After adding the detergent and the

load, ftt the dispenser over the top of the

agitator cap.

Following directions on the bottle,

add the correct amount of fabric soft-

ener. Use a cup with a pourrng spout

to avoid dripping any on the load.

IMPORTANT: Add enough hot or

warm water to fill the dispenser to

the FULL mark.

Diluted fabric softener will be added

just before the washer starts filling for the

rinse. NOTE: Do not stop the washer

during the first spin [when the wash

water is spinning out). If you do, the fab-

rrc softener will be added to the wet,

soapy load. This can cause stains.

Clean the dispenser after each use

with warm water only. Detergent can

make softeners sticky and lumpy. 5

Important

Detergent

Information

Detergents and soaps clean

by loosening soil, and by holding it in

the water so it drains away. If not

enough detergent is used, soil and

lint can settle back on the items in

the load.

SOAP works best in

soft water

(O-4 grains hardness). In harder water,

both the wash and rinse water should

be softened. Use enough soap to

make about 1% to 2 inches (3.8 to 5.5

cm] of suds.

DETERGENT works in

hard or

soft water.

Package directions are

usually based on soft water and

washers with normal-size tubs. Use

more detergent...

1. for hard water.

2. for loads and water levels

larger than MEDIUM.

3. for heavy greasy or oily soils.

4. if the detergent is low

phosphate.

5. for cold-water washes.

DETERGENT SUDS. There are

high, normal and low sudsing pow-

dered detergents. If the recom-

mended amount of detergent makes

too much suds, switch to a lower

sudsing brand. DO NOT REDUCE THE

AMOUNT of detergent

Use the followlng chart as

beginning suggestions for powdered

and liquid detergent amounts. See

your Laundry

Guide

for more infor-

motion (pages 14-22).
