What is the maximum amount of bleach I can use per wash cycle, and how should it be added?

The maximum capacity of the bleach dispenser is one cup of liquid chlorine bleach per wash cycle, and you should never exceed the maximum fill line marked on the dispenser. Before starting the washer, pour the measured amount of bleach directly into the bleach dispenser — never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto clothes or into the wash basket. Do not pour powdered bleach into the bleach dispenser; if using powdered bleach, add it directly into the wash basket before adding clothes. (Page 7)
