USING THE WASHER
Bleach
When using liquid chlorine bleach, carefully
measure the amount of bleach recommended on
the bottle label. General recommendations are
1/8 cup for each 2 gallons of wash water.
Amount of wash water in: EX. SMALL - 10
gallons (8 Imperial gallons; 38 liters); SMALL -
12 gallons (10 Imperial gallons; 45 liters);
MEDIUM - 14 gallons (12 Imperial gallons; 53
liters); LARGE - 17 gallons (14 Imperial gallons;
64 liters); EXTRA LARGE - 19 gallons (16
Imperial gallons; 72 liters).
Add the recommended amount of liquid chlorine
bleach to the dispenser before placing the clothes
in the washer tub. Properly diluted bleach will be
added automatically to the wash water.
Be careful whenever you use liquid chlorine
bleach. It is a powerful chemical and can cause
fabric damage, such as fears or color loss, if not
used properly. Do not pour directly on fabrics.
Wipe up spills with a paper towel.
Oxygen or all-fabric bleach may be added with
the detergent. Follow the instructions on the
package, if used improperly, fabric damage may
occur, such as color loss. Do not put granular
bleach or detergent in bleach dispenser.
Detergent
Use either liquid or granular laundry detergent.
Add measured amount of detergent to washtub
before loading.
Read the manufacturer's instructions and use the
correct amount. Most instructions are for washing
an "average" load. If the size of the load is extra
large, the degree of soil is heavier than average
and the water is harder than 6 grains per gallon,
more detergent should be used.
Wipe up any spills of liquid laundry detergent on
the washer.
