USING YOUR WASHER DDING LIQUID CHLORINE BLEACH Always measure liquid chlorine bleach. Do not guess. Never use more than 1 cup (250 mL) for a full load. Follow manufacturer’s directions for safe use. Use a cup with a pouring spout to avoid spilling. Let the washer fill and begin agitating the load.
CLEANING LINT FILTER Your washer has a self-cleaning lint filter at the bot- tom of the basket. Wash and rinse water flow over the filter during agitation, separating the lint from the water. The lint spins out of the system during the spin part of the cycle.
USING YOUR WASHER NDERSTANDING WHAT HAPPENS IN EACH CYCLE When the Cycle Control knob is set to a number and pulled out, the washer fills (to the selected water level) before agitation and timing start. The washer begins agitating immediately after filling; agitation occurs with the washer lid up or down.
ARING FOR LEANING YOUR WASHER Cleaning the exterior Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe up any spills such as detergent or bleach. Occasionally wipe the outside of your washer to keep it looking new. INTER STORAGE MOVING Install and store your washer where it will not freeze.
