Pre-treat by briskly rubbing heavily soiled areas with liquid laundry detergent or a paste made of granular laundry detergent and water; or, pre-soak using a laundry additive conmining enzymes. Prewash spray products may be more convenient to use than rubbing detergent into the stain. When using a prewash spray, add a little extra detergent when laundering the stained item. The spray may soften fingernail polish, so be careful to avoid rubbing your fingernail polish off the clothes you are treating. SPECIFIC WASHING INSTRUCTIONS TO WASH: 1. Make certain the time control dial is "off." Plug power cord into adequately grounded, 3-prong receptacle. 2. Connect funnel end of fill hose to the faucet.

Make allowance for hard water, and/or heavily soiled garments by adding more detergent.
