Using Liquid Bleach In The Machine Clean Cycle

I can't find my owners manual for my Maytag Bravos washer.  I have cleaned it twice since purchasing it, once with the provided cleaning product and once with liquid bleach as also recommendedKMNV.  I can't remember how much bleach to dispense for the cleaning process.  The reminder light is on and I want to be sure to get it done.
