Using laundry aids
Follow package instructionswhen using
laundry aids. (See "Removing Stains" on
pages 15-17 for more information.)
Fire or Explosion Hazard
• Store flammable solvents or liquids
away from your washer.
• Dry cleaning solvents or fluids should
not be put directly intoyour 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 ammo-
nia or acids. Hazardous fumes can
form.
• Keep stain removal products out of the
reach of children ... preferably in a
locked cabinet.
All-fabric bleach
• Powdered or liquid all-fabric bleach may
be used on alltypes of fabrics.
• Do not use all-fabric bleach in the bleach
dispenser because it may clog.
Chlorine bleach
• Use bleach dispenser if your machine has
one. (See page 11.)
• Ifyour washer does not have a bleach
dispenser:
1. Let the washer fill and begin agitating
the load.
2. Measure bleach. Never use more than
1 cup (250 mL) for a full load. Dilute
measured bleach in I quart (1 L) of
water.
3. 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 soma flame-retardant fabrics.
• When soaking with chlorine bleach, add
detergent to soak water.
NOTE: Undiluted bleach will damage any
fabric ittouches. The damage appears as
rips, holes, tears or color loss and may not
show up untilseveral washings later.
Detergent
Using too littledetergent 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 bythe 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.
