can
cause a residue
to build
up in the tub over time
and

this
buildup
using bleach
or other

designed
specifically
for cleaning
washing
machines.

any clothing
from the tub.
2. Fill the
bleach
dispenser
to the
MAX
line with
liquid
chlorine
bleach.
Do not overfill
the bleach
dispenser.
Overfilling
will cause the bleach
to dis-
pense
immediately.

manufacturer's
instructions
and recommen-
dations.
