Adding liquid chlorine bleach
Always measure liquid chlorine bleach. Do
not guess. Never use more than 1 cup
(250 mL) for a full load. Use less with lower
water level settings. Follow manufacturer’s
directions for safe use. Use a cup with a
pouring spout to avoid spilling.
Model RAB2132D
(no dispenser)
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.
Model RAB3132D
(with dispenser)
1. Load the washer.
2. Pour measured chlorine bleach carefully
into the dispenser. Do not let bleach
splash, drip, or run down into washer
basket. Undiluted bleach will danmage any
fabric it touches.
3. Start the washer. Bleach will be diluted
and dispensed automatically during wash
part of cycle.
NOTE: Do not use this dispenser to add
powdered chlorine or all-fabric bleach to
your wash load. The dispenser is for liquid
chlorine bleach use only.
Adding fabric softeners
(on both modeis)
• Always dilute fabric softeners with to 1
cup (125 to 250 mL) warm water. Undi­
luted fabric softener can stain fabrics.
• Add diluted fabric softener only in the final
rinse.
• 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 soeip. 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.
