†

loads, depending on cycle and detergent

concentration. The cartridge fits into compartment

B of the dispenser drawer for convenient loading.

Change detergent concentration setting

if detergent used is different than factory

preset of 2x concentration.

softener at the optimum time in the cycle.

Use only liquid fabric softener in this dispenser.

Liquid chlorine bleach compartment

Automatically dilutes and dispenses liquid chlorine

bleach at the optimum time during the first rinse

after the wash cycle. This compartment cannot dilute

powdered bleach.

PRECISION DISPENSE ULTRA DRAWER

The Precision Dispense Ultra drawer gives you the

convenience of automatically adding HE detergent, liquid

chlorine bleach, and fabric softener to the wash load at the

proper time. See “Using the Dispenser” for information on

using the dispenser drawer.

Choosing the Right Detergent

Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package will be

marked “HE” or “High Efficiency.” Low-water washing creates

excessive sudsing with a regular non-HE detergent. Using regular

detergent will likely result in longer cycle times and reduced

rinsing performance. It may also result in component failure and,

over time, buildup of mold or mildew. HE detergents are made

to produce the right amount of suds for the best performance.

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to determine the amount

of detergent to use.

Use only High Efficiency (HE) detergent.

†

The number of loads will vary, depending on detergent concentration,
load size, cycle used, and soil level. The maximum capacity of up to
36 loads requires use of 6x concentration detergent.
