Prewash detergent compartment
(Letter A in Dispenser Illustration)
Add detergent to this compartment when using the Pre Wash
option. Liquid or powdered detergent may be used in this
compartment. The detergent will automatically be dispensed
during Pre Wash if the Pre Wash option is selected.
Using High Efficiency (HE) detergent, add ¹⁄₃ the
recommended amount to the Prewash compartment and
²⁄₃ the recommended amount to the Main Wash
compartment.
Do not fill beyond the “MAX” level.
Main Wash detergent compartment
(Letter C in Dispenser Illustration)
Add liquid or powdered detergent to this compartment for your
main wash cycle. The detergent separator must always be in
place, either in the front or back position.
IMPORTANT: If you are using the Pre Wash, or Delay option,
powdered detergent must be used in the main wash
compartment since liquid detergents may seep out of the main
wash compartment during the prewash, or delay before the main
wash begins.
Do not fill beyond the “MAX” level.
Liquid or powdered color-safe bleach may be added to the
Main Wash compartment along with the same type of
detergent, liquid or powdered.
Liquid detergent: Put the SEPARATOR in the front position,
between the guides, as shown. There will be no gap between
the bottom of the wash cycle detergent compartment and the
bottom of the separator.
Powdered detergent: Put the SEPARATOR in the back
position, behind the guides, as shown. There will be a gap
between the bottom of the wash cycle detergent
compartment and the bottom of the separator.
NOTE: The separator will be in the POWDER (back) position
when shipped from the factory.
Chlorine bleach compartment
(Letter E in Dispenser Illustration)
Add no more than ¹⁄₃ cup (80 mL) liquid chlorine bleach to this
compartment. The bleach will be automatically diluted and
dispensed at the optimum time during the first rinse after the
wash cycle. This compartment cannot dilute powdered bleach.
Always measure liquid chlorine bleach. Use a measuring cup
with a pour spout; do not guess.
Do not fill beyond the “MAX” level.
NOTE: Overfilling could cause garment damage.
