Liquid bleach dispenser
Always measure bleach. Do not
guess. Never use more than 1 cup
(250 ml) for a full load. Use less with
lower water level settings. Follow
directions on bottle for safe use. 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 your “Laundry Guide”.
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.
Liquid fabric softener dispenser
1. Add detergent and load to the basket.
2. Add liquid fabric softener to the
dispenser using the amount recom­
mended on the bottle.
3. Avoid dripping or spilling any fabric
softener on the load.
4. Dilute fabric softener with hot water. The
quantity of diluted fabric softener
should not exceed 150 ml per fill.
5. Start the washer. Diluted fabric softener
will be added to the load during the final
rinse portion of the cycle. NOTE: Do not
stop the washer during this time. If
you do, the softener will mix with the
remaining soapy wash water. This will
cause stains. Do not put detergent in
the iiquid fabric softener dispenser.
6. If dispenser needs cleaning, flush with
hot water.
