Laundry Additives
All additives – detergent, fabric softener, and pretreatments (e.g. OxiClean ® ) are added in the front corners. Your option selections will determine
when each additive is automatically dispensed at its optimal time in the wash or rinse cycle.
Single Use Wash Detergent Dispenser
To manually add either powder or liquid detergent
to the next wash cycle, pour it in the left front
opening. 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.

To add liquid fabric softener to the next load, press
the Fabric Softener button and pour the softener
into the right opening. The liquid will be added at
the optimum time in the rinse cycle.
NOTE: If using delay mode, add liquid softener
to the dispenser and then fill the dispenser to
the MAX fill level with water.
DO NOT put detergent packets in
dispenser compartments. Laundry
detergent packets should only be added

(pretreatment - early or bleach – late) in the wash
