Using the Dispenser
Your new washer has a dispenser drawer with three separate
compartments for your laundry products—one is for detergent,
one is for liquid chlorine bleach, and one is for liquid fabric
softener. Laundry products are diluted and dispensed
automatically at the proper time during the wash cycle, making it
unnecessary for you to return to the washer during the cycle to
add them.
It is normal for small amounts of water to remain in the
dispensers when the wash cycle is complete.
Do not put laundry additives directly into the wash tub. Always
use the proper dispensers when adding laundry products.
Choosing the Right Detergent
For best washing performance, use a High Efficiency (HE), or
low-sudsing, detergent.
To fill dispenser compartments
1. Pull out the dispenser drawer.
2. Add the desired laundry product to the proper compartment.
3. Push in the dispenser drawer carefully and completely (to
avoid spillage).
Detergent compartment
(Letter C in Dispenser Illustration)
Add liquid or powdered HE detergent to this compartment for
your wash cycle. The detergent separator must always be in
place, either in the front or back position.
■ 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 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.
Bleach compartment
(Letter D 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. Overfilling could cause
severe garment damage.
Fabric Softener compartment
(Letter E in Dispenser Illustration)
Add ¼ cup (60 mL) liquid fabric softener to this compartment.
Fabric softener will be automatically dispensed in the final rinse.
■ Do not fill beyond the “MAX” level.
