INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
ABOUT THE DISPENSERS
The automatic dispenser consists of two compart-
ments which hold:
y Liquid fabric softener.
y Liquid or powdered detergent for main wash.
MAIN WASH DETERGENT COMPARTMENT
This compartment holds laundry detergent for the
main wash cycle. The detergent is added to the load
at the beginning of the cycle. Always use High-Effi-
ciency (HE) detergent with your washing machine.
Either powdered or liquid detergent may be used.
Never exceed the manufacturer’s recommendations
when adding detergent. Using too much detergent can
result in detergent buildup in clothing and the washer.
FABRIC SOFTENER COMPARTMENT
This compartment holds liquid fabric softener, which
is automatically dispensed during the final rinse cycle.
Never exceed the manufacturer’s recommendations
when adding softener. Using too much fabric soft-
ener can result in buildup in clothing and the washer.
Either powdered or liquid fabric softener may be
used.
y Always follow the manufacturer’s recommenda-
tions when adding fabric softener. Do not exceed
the maximum fill line. Using too much fabric soft-
ener may stain clothes.
y Dilute concentrated fabric softeners with warm
water. Do not exceed the maximum fill line.
y Never pour fabric softener directly onto the load
or into the tub.
DETERGENT AND DISPENSER USE
A WORD ABOUT DETERGENTS
High-Efficiency (HE) detergents produce fewer suds,
dissolve more efficiently to improve washing and
rinsing performance, and help to keep the interior of
your washer clean. Using detergent that is not HE may
cause oversudsing and unsatisfactory performance
which could result in error codes, cycle failure, and
machine damage.

Detergent
For proper wash performance, always measure the
detergent using the measurements provided by the
detergent manufacturer.
The normal amount of HE detergent needed, for aver-
age loads, is less than ½ of the recommended maxi-
mum. Use less detergent for soft water, light soil or
smaller loads. Never use more than the maximum
amount recommended by the detergent manufacturer.
DESIGNED TO USE ONLY
HIGH-EFFICIENCY (HE)
DETERGENT
IMPORTANT: Your washing machine is designed for
use with only High-Efficiency (HE) detergents. HE de-
tergents are formulated specifically for High-Efficiency
washers and contain suds-reducing agents. Always
look for the HE symbol when purchasing detergent.
IMPORTANT: Not all detergents are the same. Pay
careful attention to the amount of detergent used
to avoid oversudsing, poor rinsing and detergent
buildup in clothing, and residue buildup that can
contribute to odors in the machine. NEVER use a
cup or scoop other than the one supplied by the
manufacturer of the detergent you are using. Never
use more than the maximum amount of detergent
recommended by the manufacturer. A full scoop or
measure of detergent should only be used for very
large and heavily soiled loads. Using too much de-
tergent can result in detergent buildup in the washer
and in your clothes.
Always measure the detergent amount. While HE
detergents are designed for this type of washing
machine, be careful when measuring the detergent.
For most normal loads, no more than 1/4 to 1/2 of
cap or scoop of HE detergent should be used.
NOTE:
y Extra care must be exercised when using 2X and 3X
concentrated detergents because even a little bit ex-
tra can contribute to the problems mentioned above.
y Detergents designated as HE compatible may not
provide optimal results.
