Fire Hazard Never place items in the washer that are dampened with gasoline or other flammable fluids. No washer can completely remove oil. Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on it (including cooking oils). Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Never use more than 1 cup (250 mL) for a full load. Use less with a smaller load size. Follow the manufacturer�s directions for safe use. To avoid spilling, use a cup with a pouring spout. Do not let bleach splash, drip, or run down into the washer basket. Use only liquid chlorine bleach in this dispenser.

NOTE: On models without a bleach dispenser, see "Adding Liquid Chlorine Bleach." 3. Close the washer lid. 4. Turn the LOAD SIZE selector (on some models) to the correct setting for your wash load and the type of fabric being washed.
WARNING
s s
Choose a load size that allows the load to move freely for best fabric care. See "Loading.� You may change the load size selection after the washer has started filling by turning the selector to a different setting.
Electrical Shock Hazard Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter. Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
5. Set the TEMPERATURE selector (on some models) to the correct setting for the type of fabric and soils being washed. Use the warmest water safe for fabric. Follow garment label instructions. NOTE: On models with temperature selections in the Cycle Control knob, see "Cycle Time and Temperature Options" in the "Selecting a Cycle and Time" section. Water Temp Hot 111°F (44°C) or above Warm 90°-110°F (32°-43°C) Cold 70°-90°F (21°-32°C) Use For Whites and pastels Heavy and greasy soils Bright colors Moderate to light soils
1. Measure detergent and pour it into the washer. If desired, add powdered or liquid color safe bleach. Add extra detergent for the Super Wash cycle.
Colors that bleed or fade Light soils
Drop a sorted load of clothes loosely into your washer.
s s s
Load evenly to maintain washer balance. Mix large and small items. Items should move easily through the wash water. Overloading can cause poor cleaning. To reduce wrinkling of permanent press clothes and some synthetic knits, use a large load size to provide more space (see step 4).
NOTE: In wash water temperatures colder than 70ºF (21ºC), detergents do not dissolve well. Soils can be difficult to remove. Some fabrics can retain wear wrinkles and have increased pilling (the formation of small lint-like balls on the surface of garments).
