Washing a load of laundry _21
Pre wash compartment
When using the Pre Wash option, add detergent to both the Pre Wash compartment and the
detergent compartment. The washer will automatically dispense the detergent during Pre Wash.
• If you use a high efficiency (HE) detergent, add 1/3 of the recommended amount to the Pre
Wash compartment and 2/3 of the recommended amount to the detergent compartment.
Bleach compartment
(Liquid chlorine bleach only)
1. Add chlorine bleach to the bleach compartment.
DO NOT exceed the MAX FILL line.
2. Avoid splashing or over–filling the compartment.
3. Your washer automatically dispenses bleach into the tub at
the appropriate time.
4. The dispenser automatically dilutes liquid chlorine bleach
before it reaches the wash load.
• Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto
the load or into the tub. It is a powerful chemical and
can cause fabric damage, such as weakening of the
fibers or color loss, if not used properly.
• If you prefer to use color–safe, non–chlorine bleach,
add it to the appropriate detergent compartment.
DO NOT pour color–safe bleach into the Bleach
compartment.
Fabric softener compartment
1. Pour the recommended amount of liquid fabric softener into the softener compartment.
For smaller loads, use less than one capful.
2. Dilute the fabric softener with water until it reaches MAX FILL in the compartment.
3. The dispenser automatically releases liquid fabric softener at the proper time during the rinse
cycle.
• Use the softener compartment ONLY for liquid fabric softeners.
• DO NOT use a Downy Ball* in the Fabric softener compartment of this washer. It will not
be added at the appropriate time.
Use the detergent compartment.
* Brand names are trademarks of their respective manufacturers.
If you overfill the detergent, bleach, or softener compartments, the contents of the
compartment will automatically be released into the washer. This could damage any
garments that are in the drum.
