See detergent information on page 6 and in Section IV of the Laundry Guide.
l
Add dry bleach or water condi­tioner (not fabric softener) if used. Follow the package directions carefully.
3. Dilute liquid Bleach Before Add­Ing to the Washer Basket.

the Laundry Guide for more
information.
4. load the Washer.
l
Spread the load evenly. [Don’t put all the towels on one side and a few wash cloths on the other.) An unbal­anced load can cause the washer to
shake during spinning.

Load without packing so items can move freely for best cleaning and least wrinkling.
5. Add Diluted Fabric Softener Only

bine with soap or detergent to make
greasy stains on fabrics.
