Washing a load of laundry
Pre wash compartment
When using the Pre Wash option, detergent should be added to both the Pre Wash
compartment and the detergent compartment. The detergent will automatically be dispensed
during the Pre Wash.
• If high e ciency (HE) detergent is used, add 1/3 the recommended amount to the Pre Wash
compartment and 2/3 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–fi lling 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 fi bers or color loss if not used properly.
• If you do not run your wash and leave the laundry in
the washer for a period of time after you have added
detergent or applied stain remover or pre-treatment,
the laundry may be discolored.
• Oxi-type boosters or color-safe bleach can be added
to the drum prior to adding laundry.
• Put the laundry into the drum only after confi rming
that the oxi-type boosters or color-safe bleach has
completely entered the hole of the drum.
• However, to use powdered detergent and powder oxi-
type boosters or powdered color-safe bleach at the
same time, it is more e ective putting them in together
and removing the liquid detergent holder from the
detergent compartment.
Fabric Softener compartment
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 the MAX FILL line in the compartment.
3. The dispenser automatically releases the 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 with this washer. It will
not add fabric softener at the appropriate time.
Use the detergent Compartment.
• It is not recommended using liquid fabric softener that is too sticky as it may not mix with
the water su ciently.
