H O W TO U S E
LOADING THE DISPENSER Main Wash Detergent Compartment
This compartment holds laundry detergent
for the main wash cycle, which is added to
the load at the beginning of the cycle. Always
use HE (High-Efficiency) detergent with your
washing machine.
Never exceed the detergent manufacturer’s
recommendations when adding detergent.
Using too much detergent can result in
detergent buildup in clothing and the washer.
Either powdered or liquid detergent may be used.
• When using liquid detergent, make sure the
liquid detergent cup and insert are in place.
Do not exceed the maximum fill line.
• When using powdered detergent, remove
the insert and liquid detergent cup from the
compartment. Powdered detergent will not
dispense with the liquid detergent cup and
insert in place.
Using the Liquid Bleach Dispenser
The bleach dispenser
automatically dilutes
and dispenses liquid
chlorine bleach at the
proper time in the
wash cycle.
Check clothing care labels for special
instructions.
Measure liquid bleach carefully, following
instructions on the bottle.
• Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach
directly onto clothes or into the wash basket.
• Do not pour powdered bleach into bleach
dispenser. Do not place load items on top
of the bleach dispenser when loading and
unloading the washer.
• Avoid overfilling or splashing when adding
bleach to the dispenser. The maximum
capacity of the bleach dispenser is one cup of
bleach per wash cycle. Overfilling could result
in premature dispensing of bleach.
Before starting the washer, pour a pre-
measured amount of bleach directly into
bleach dispenser. If you prefer to use
powdered bleach, add it into the wash basket
directly before adding clothes.
NOTE: Please flush the bleach dispenser with
water after bleach use and then rinse out the
residue by use of Rinse & Spin cycle.
Fabric Softener Compartment
This compartment holds liquid fabric softener,
which will be automatically dispensed during the
final rinse cycle.
• Always follow the detergent manufacturer’s
recommendations when adding fabric softener.
Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Using
too much fabric softener may result in stained
clothes.
• Dilute concentrated fabric softeners with warm
water. Do not exceed the maximum fill line.
• Never pour fabric softener directly onto the load
or into the drum.
w
WARNING:
Do NOT mix chlorine
bleach with ammonia or acids, such as vinegar or
rust / scale remover.
Mixing chemicals like these can produce gas
which may cause death.
Put the manufacturer’s recommended amount of
undiluted liquid chlorine bleach into the bleach
dispenser. During the final portion of the wash
cycle, two sequential flushes of the dispenser put
all the bleach into the wash load and completely
flush the dispenser to eliminate the carryover of
bleach to a subsequent load. Any liquid remaining
in the bleach dispenser at the end of the cycle is
water, not bleach.
To prevent unintentional self-siphoning of the
bleach, never fill the dispenser higher than the
maximum fill level marked on the dispenser.
When adding bleach to the dispenser, be careful
to avoid spilling it into the laundry load or leaving
droplets of bleach around the dispenser. These
things will damage your laundry items.
