About washer features.
Bulk Detergent Tank
The bulk detergent tank holds over a gallon (140
ounces or 4100 ml) of liquid bulk detergent. After
filling the tank, press the Detergent Tank On button
to turn on its light and designate bulk (rather than
manual) detergent dispense.
The Tank Levels lights (1-5) indicate how much
detergent is left. An empty tank is shown by a single
red light. A full (or nearly full) tank is shown by 5
lights.
NOTE: The initial fill of the bulk tank will require 50
ounces of detergent to prime the system. If you
press the Start button when the tank is empty, the
Detergent Tank On button and red empty Tank
Level light will blink. The machine will not start. A
beep will also sound if Variable Signal is on. To start
the machine, you must add more detergent to the
tank or turn off the bulk detergent tank.
The Detergent Cup Amount lights indicate if a Low,
Medium, or High amount will be dispensed.
See the Bulk Tank Special Functions Option 1: Set
Concentration Settings on page 10 to understand
how the Low, Medium, and High amounts are
established.
Detergent will be automatically dispensed at the
optimum time at the beginning of each fill cycle.

Single Use Wash Detergent Dispenser
If you prefer to manually add either powder or liquid
detergent to the next wash cycle, pour it in the left
front opening and make sure the Tank On light is
off (press button if light is on). Most detergent will
immediately enter the tub. The washer will flush
water through this opening just prior to the fill cycle
to add any detergent that did not fall into the tub.
DO NOT put detergent packets in
dispenser compartments. Laundry
detergent packets should only be
added directly to the wash tub following the
manufacturer’s directions.
Single Wash Detergent Dispenser
Set the Bulk Detergent Cup Amount Preference
When the Detergent Tank On light is on, pressing the Detergent Cup Amount button will set the Detergent
Cup Amount lights (1, 2, or 3).
Level 1 will distribute the standard amount minus 25%.
Level 2 will distribute the standard amount.
Level 3 will distribute the standard amount plus 25%.
Examples:
Factory default standard amount is 1.5 oz (44 ml) (Concentration Setting 15).
If Detergent Cup Amount shows 3 lights then 1.9 oz (55 ml) will be dispensed.
If Detergent Cup Amount shows 2 lights then 1.5 oz (44 ml) will be dispensed.
If Detergent Cup Amount shows 1 light then 1.1 oz (33 ml) will be dispensed.
NOTE: Each cycle knob position defaults to a different Detergent Cup Amount (including 0 if no
detergent is used). If you change the Soil setting, the Detergent Cup Amount may change. You can
then manually change the Detergent Cup Amount, but your change will not be saved when you leave
this knob position or if you set a My Settings.
