Manual clean lint filter
Your washer has a manual clean lint filter.
Clean the filter at the bottom of the agitator
after every load for the best filtering results.
To clean:
1. Lift off the agitator barrel.
2. Wash or wipe the filter clean in the
bottom of the agitator barrel. The filter
is not removable.
3. Replace the agitator barrel and snap
it into place.

Adding liquid chlorine bleach
Always measure liquid chlorine bleach. Do
not guess. Never use more than 250 mL
(1 cup) for a full load. Follow manufacturer’s
directions for safe use. Use a cup with a
pouring spout to avoid spilling.
1. Let the washer fill and begin agitating
the load.
2. Add bleach to wash cycle so it can be
removed in the rinse cycle. Pour bleach
around agitator, not directly on load.
• Follow directions on care labels. Do not
use chlorine bleach on wool, silk,
spandex, acetates, or some flame-
retardant fabrics.
• When soaking with chlorine bleach, add
detergent to soak water.
NOTE: Undiluted bleach will damage any
fabric it touches. The damage appears as
rips, holes, tears, or color loss and may not
show up until several washings later.
Adding liquid fabric softener
• Always dilute fabric softener with 125 to
250 mL {Vz to 1 cup) warm water. Undi­
luted fabric softener can stain fabrics.
• Add diluted fabric softener only in the
final rinse.
• Fabric softener should not be mixed with
other laundry products because greasy
stains may form. If stains form, remove
by wetting the stain and rubbing with liquid
detergent or a bar of soap. Rewash the
stained item.
• Too much fabric softener can make some
items (diapers and towels) nonabsorbent.
If this happens, use less fabric softener
or do not use it every time.
