The Dispenser Drawer
Slowly open the dispenser drawer by pulling
it out until it stops.
After adding laundry products, slowly close
the dispenser drawer. Closing the drawer too
quickly could result in early dispensing of the
bleach, fabric softener or detergent.
You may see water in the bleach and fabric
softener compartments at the end of the cycle.
This is a result of the flushing/siphoning action
and is part of the normal operation of the
washer.
The Liquid Bleach Compartment
IMPORTANT: The bleach compartment
position varies by model. Be sure to identify
the correct compartment for bleach before
using.
If desired, measure out the recommended
amount of liquid bleach, not to exceed
1/3 cup (80 ml), and pour into the center
compartment labeled “LIQUID BLEACH”
marked with this symbol .
Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Overfilling
can cause early dispensing of the bleach which
could result in damaged clothes.
NOTE: Do not use powdered bleach in the
dispenser.
The Detergent Compartment
■ High efficiency detergent is required
for this washer. Use the detergent
manufacturer’s recommended amount.
The detergent selection insert must be placed
in the detergent compartment in a specific
position according to what type of detergent
you are using.
■ Powder Detergent – Place the insert
in the rear position. The Powder Icons
must line up on center when the insert
is in the powder position.
■ Liquid Detergent – Place the insert in
the forward position. The Liquid Icons
must line up on center when the insert
is in the liquid position.
Move the insert by pulling it up and replace
it by sliding it down between either the rear
or front detergent compartment molded rails,
as desired, for powder or liquid detergent.
■ Add measured detergent to the front left
detergent compartment of the dispenser
drawer.
■ Detergent is flushed from the dispenser
at the beginning of the wash cycle. Either
powdered or liquid detergent can be used.
■ Detergent usage may need to be adjusted
for water temperature, water hardness,
size and soil level of the load. Avoid using
too much detergent in your washer as it
can lead to oversudsing and detergent
residue being left on the clothes.
■ Using more detergent than the
recommended quantity can cause
residue buildup on your washer.
Insert in rear position for powder
detergent.
Insert in forward position for liquid
detergent.
The Prewash Compartment (on some models)
■ Only use the Prewash Compartment if you
are selecting the Prewash cycle for heavily
soiled clothes. Add measured detergent or
prewash additive to the back left prewash
compartment of the dispenser drawer.
■ Detergent or prewash additive is flushed
from the dispenser in the prewash cycle
(if selected).
NOTE: Liquid detergent will drain into the
washer drum as it is added.
■ Detergent usage may need to be adjusted
for water temperature, water hardness, size
and soil level of the load. Avoid using too
much detergent in your washer as it can
lead to over sudsing and detergent residue
being left on the clothes.
