Fabric softener dispenser
1. Add detergent and load to the basket.
2. Add liquid fabric softener to the dispenser
using the amount recommended on the
package.
3. Avoid dripping or spilling any fabric softener
on the load.
4. Dilute fabric softener with warm water. Add
enough water to fill dispenser to the opening.
5. Start the washer. Diluted fabric softener will be
added to the load during the final rinse.
NOTE:
Do not stop the washer during this
time. If you do, the fabric softener will mix with
the remaining soapy wash water. This will
cause stains. Do not put detergent in the liquid
fabric softener dispenser.
6. If the dispenser needs cleaning, flush with hot
water. To remove, see “Manual clean lint filter”
on page 8.
NOTE: Do not wash clothes with dispenser
removed.
