Liquid bleach dispenser

Always measure bleach. Do not

guess. Follow 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 cup with a pouring

spout to avoid spilling.

1. Load the washer first.

2. Pour measured bleach carefully

into dispenser. DO NOT let bleach

splash, drip or run down into the

washer basket. Undiluted bleach

will damage any fabric it touches.

3. Start the washer. Bleach will be

diluted automatically during the

wash part of the cycle.

For more information on bleaching, see “Laundry Guide” page 11.

MAGIC CLEAN” lint filter

The lint filter in your washer cleans

itself. Collected lint is drained away

with the wash and rinse water.

If your washer drains into a tub,

remove any lint collected in the drain

or strainer.

Caring for your washer

WHEN NOT WASHING, keep both

water faucets turned off. This takes

the pressure off the water inlet valve

and hoses.

AFTER WASHING, use a soft dry cloth

to wipe the outside and inside dry.

Leave the lid up until the basket is dry.

Wipe up spills right away. Spills can

dull or damage the finish.

REMOVE SHARP OBJECTS such as pins,

buckles, etc., from clothes before

washing. Close metal zippers.

SHARP OR HEAVY OBJECTS should

never be put on or in the washer.

Check pockets for bolts, nuts,

tools, etc.

SOME PRETREATMENT PRODUCTS

can damage washer and dryer dials,

consoles and finishes. Do not use

these products on or near your

washer or dryer.
