Using bleach in your washing machine
There are two different types of bleach which you can use in the washing
machine safe oxygen bleach or hypochlorite (chlorine) bleach (i.e.
general household bleach).
If you wish to use bleach, in addition to the detergent, this should be
added at the same time as the detergent, once the machine has lled
with water.
It is important that you do not add the safe oxygen bleach to the bleach
dispenser, or the top of the agitator where the fabric conditioner is poured
(refer to the User Manual for further information).
If, however, you wish to use a chlorine bleach, you can pre-wash with the
bleach (i.e. soak for 10 minutes in a bucket of cold water with half a cup
of bleach) and then wash in the machine in the normal way. Or, add the
chlorine bleach to the special chlorine bleach dispenser at the top of the
machine (refer to the User Manual for further information) and add a
detergent which does not contain bleach. It is not advisable to use
chlorine bleach with a bleach containing detergent as the interaction
between the two will result in poor performance. Do not add chlorine
bleach to the top of the agitator where the fabric conditioner is poured
(refer to the User Manual for further information). |
