lower water level settings. Follow

directions on bottle for safe use. Use

a cup with a pouring spout to avoid

spilling.

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.

the dispenser up to the opening.

5. Stat-l the washer. Diluted liquid fab-

ric softener will be added to the

of the cycle.

NOTE: Do not stop the washer

during this time. If you do, the

softener will mix with the remaining

clothes with dispenser removed.

SHARP OR HEAVY OBJECTS should

never be put on or in the washer.
