About the washer features.
The Dispenser Drawer
Slowly open the dispenser drawer by pulling
it out until it stops.
After adding laundry products, slowly close
the dispenser drawer. Closing the drawer
too quickly could result in early dispensing
of the bleach, fabric softener or detergent.
You may see water in the bleach and fabric
softener compartments at the end of the cycle.
This is a result of the flushing/siphoning action
and is part of the normal
operation of the washer.
Use only HE High-Efficiency
detergent.
The Liquid Bleach Compartment
If desired, measure out the recommended
amount of liquid bleach, not to exceed
1/3 cup (80 ml) and pour into the center
compartment labeled “LIQUID BLEACH”
marked with this symbol . It is recommended to use High-Efficiency (HE)
bleach in this front-load washer.
Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Overfilling
can cause early dispensing of the bleach which
could result in damaged clothes.
NOTE: Do not use powdered bleach in the
dispenser.
The Detergent Compartment
■ Only use high-efficiency detergent
in this washer. MAX line is for normal
detergent. DO NOT fill above the MAX
line.
DO NOT fill high-efficiency detergent
to the MAX line. Use detergent
manufacturer’s recommended amount.
The detergent selection insert must be placed
in the detergent compartment in a specific
position according to the type of detergent
you are using.
■ Powder Detergent – Place the insert
in the rear position. The Powder Icons
must line up on center when the insert
is in the powder position.

the forward position. The Liquid Icons
must line up on center when the insert
is in the liquid position.

it by sliding it down between either the rear
or front detergent compartment molded rails,
as desired, for powder or liquid detergent.
■ Add measured detergent to the front left
detergent compartment of the dispenser
drawer.
■ Detergent is flushed from the dispenser
at the beginning of the wash cycle. Either
powdered or liquid detergent can be used.
■ Detergent usage may need to be adjusted
for water temperature, water hardness,
size and soil level of the load. Avoid using
too much detergent in your washer as it
can lead to oversudsing and detergent
residue being left on the clothes.
■ DO NOT put clumped detergent
in the dispenser. Clumped detergent
can cause a leak.

are selecting the Prewash cycle for heavily
soiled clothes. Add measured detergent or

from the dispenser in the prewash cycle
(if selected).

into the washer drum as it is added.
