Special Features
1. Liquid Bleach Dispenser
The dispenser automatically dilutes liquid chlorine
bleach before it reaches your wash load. To use, follow
these steps:
1.Measure liquid chlorine bleach carefully, following
the instructions on the bottle.
2.Add the bleach to the dispenser before adding the
load. Avoid splashing or over-filling the dispenser.
NOTE:
• Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly
onto the load or into the wash tub. It is a powerful
chemical and can cause fabric damage, such as tear-
ing or color loss, if not used properly.
• If you prefer to use color-safe, non-chlorine bleach,
pour it into the wash tub with your detergent. Do not
pour non-chlorine, color-safe bleaches into the bleach
dispenser.
Pour liquid chlorine bleach into
bleach dispenser.
2. Liquid Dispenser
The dispenser may be used for fabric softener with
most cycles or liquid detergent with the Pretreat cycle.
The liquid dispenser should be cleaned before and after
each use of liquid detergent. The dispenser automati-
cally releases the liquid at the proper time during the
cycle. To use, follow these steps:
1. Pour a measured amount of desired liquid into dis-
penser top to fill line only.
2. If liquid comes below line, add warm water.
Liquid Dispenser
If it is necessary to clean the dispenser:
1. Pull the dispenser off of the top of the agitator.
2. Soak for one hour in sink or container in hot
water and dishwashing liquid.
3. Hold hands over top and bottom of dispenser and
shake to loosen buildup.
4. Rinse with clean, hot water.
5. Repeat process if necessary.
6. Replace dispenser on agita-
tor.
Do not use dishwashing liquid
inside the washer. Oversudsing
can occur.
3. Pretreat Cycle
The Pretreat Cycle offers the ability to wash the clothes
twice with fresh detergent in each wash. When laundry
is first added to the tub to use the pretreat cycle, gran-
ular or liquid detergent is placed in the tub. In order for
there to be fresh detergent for the second wash, only
liquid detergent may be placed in the liquid dispenser.
This detergent will be mixed with clean water for the
second wash which is 16 minutes of agitation.
4. Automatic Lint
Filtering System
The Lint Filtering System does not require cleaning.
Wash and rinse water is filtered and re-filtered contin-
uously to trap lint shed by most fabrics during the agi-
tation cycle before it can be re-deposited on the wash
load. The engineered hole design on the wash basket in
conjunction with water flow produced by the agitator,
traps lint away from the clothes between the inner
wash basket and the outer tub. Lint is automatically
flushed from the washer during the spin cycle.
