Main Wash detergent compartment
(Number 3 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 Prewash option or the Auto
Soak with a wash cycle, powdered detergent must be used in the
Main Wash compartment since liquid detergents may seep out of
the Main Wash compartment during the prewash, soak time, 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.

between the guides, as shown following. 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 following. 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.
