The SmartDispense
™
Pedestal automatically dispenses liquid
HE (High Efficiency) detergent and/or concentrated liquid
fabric softener into each cycle based on load size, soil level
and water hardness.
To utilize the SmartDispense Detergent Dispenser, it must
first be filled. Although any liquid HE (High Efficiency) laundry
detergent and concentrated liquid fabric softener can be used
in the SmartDispensesystem, all liquid HE (High Efficiency)
detergents and concentrated liquid fabric softeners are not
the same.
Do not mix any liquid HE (High Efficiency) detergents of
unlike brands, concentrations or scents within the detergent
tanks, as this could cause the detergents to congeal and
lead to blockage of the SmartDispense system. Do not mix
any concentrated liquid fabric softeners of unlike brands or
scents within the fabric softener tank. Do not mix any liquid
HE (High Efficiency) detergents with concentrated liquid
fabric softeners in any of the tanks. Remove and wash
tanks thoroughly before using a different brand,
concentration or scent of liquids.
CAUTION! Absolutely do not store liquid
chlorine bleach, powder detergent, non-HE (High Efficiency)
liquid detergent, nonconcentrated liquid fabric softener or other
laundry additives in any of the three tanks. Use only liquid HE
(High Efficiency) detergent, which has been specifically
designed for use in front-load washers.
To open the SmartDispense
™
Pedestal for filling, slide
open the pedestal drawer to the maximum possible distance.
Open the instruction panel by pressing the tabs at the sides
of the panel, rotate the panel toward you and slide it down
in the slot available.
NOTE: The first time your washer recognizes that
the SmartDispense system has been activated, it will
automatically fill the supply lines with detergent and/or
fabric softener for all active tanks. This process will
last approximately two minutes and will only occur
at the beginning of the first cycle that uses
the SmartDispense system.
To Fill Your Detergent Tank:
1. Select which of the two outer tanks you
wish to fill. Open the tank for filling by
turning the cap counterclockwise until
the cap is loose. Lift the cap off.
NOTE: Do not fill the tank while it is
removed from the drawer. Fluid may
be lost while reattaching the tank
to the SmartDispense system.
2. Aim the detergent bottle at the opening in
the tank and begin to fill. Each detergent
tank will hold 350 oz. of liquid HE (High
Efficiency) detergent (the largest available
detergent bottle is 300 oz.). The system
requires that at least 100 ounces of new
detergent must be added to the tank
to recognize that it has been filled.
3. When full, replace the cap and turn
clockwise until tight to ensure proper
sealing. If residue is left on the tank, wipe
clean with a moist cloth, using a mild soap.
4. An indicator will appear on the washer
control panel to notify you when the
dispenser needs to be filled again. After
filling the tank, the warning message will
turn off when the washer is powered on
for the next cycle. A full tank using
regular concentrated detergent
will last approximately 3 months
for the average user.
