LAUNDRY TIPS

Using laundry aids

Follow package instructions when using laundry

aids. (See “Removing Stains” on page 13, for
more information.)

Chlorine bleach

• Use bleach dispenser.
• Follow directions on care labels. Do not use

chlorine bleach on wool, silk, spandex,
acetates, or some flame-retardant fabrics.

• Measure bleach. Do not guess. For this

machine, never use more than Vs cup (125mL)

for a full load. Add bleach to wash cycle so

it can be removed in the rinse cycle.

• 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.

All-fabric bleach

• Powdered or liquid all-fabric bleach may be

used on all types of fabrics.

• Do not use all-fabric bleach in the bleach

dispenser because it may clog.

Detergent

• Using too little detergent is a common cause

of laundry problems. Follow manufacturer’s
directions. Measure accurately, especially
when using ultra detergents. Package
directions are usually based on:
-moderate water hardness (4-6 grains)
-lightly soiled items
-normal mix loads.

• Use more detergent for:

-hard water
-cooler wash water
-full loads
-heavily soiled items.

• Do not judge the amount of detergent to use

by the amount of suds in the machine. Low
sudsing detergents do not create as many
suds as normal sudsing detergents.

• If the recommended amount of normal

sudsing detergent creates too many suds or
suds are present in the rinse water, try a low
sudsing detergent.

Fabric softeners

• Use fabric softener dispenser.
• Always dilute fabric softeners with

'/2

to 1 cup

(125 to 250 mL) warm water. Undiluted fabric

softener can stain fabrics.

• Fabric softeners 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) non-absorbent. If

this happens, use less fabric softener or do

not use it every time.

AWARNING

Fire or Explosion Hazard

•Store flammable solvents or liquids away

from your washer.

• Dry cleaning solvents or fluids should not

be put directly into your washer.

• Items treated with solvents should be

rinsed and air dried before washing in
your washer.

The fumes from these substances can
create a fire hazard or explosion.

Personal Injury Hazard

• Never use chlorine bleach with ammonia

or acids. Hazardous fumes can form.

• Keep stain removal products out of the

reach of children ... preferably in a locked

cabinet.
