ABOUT THE DISPENSER
The automatic dispenser consists of four compartments
which hold:
• Liquid chlorine bleach.
• Liquid fabric softener.
• Liquid or powdered detergent for prewash.
(This compartment is not used on this model.)
• Liquid or powdered detergent and color-safe bleach for
main wash.
Pre-Wash Detergent Compartment
The dispenser drawer has a compartment that is labeled
"Prewash". However, this model does not include a
prewash option. Do not put detergent in this compartment.
Detergent in this compartment will not be dispensed and
will need to be manually cleaned out.
Main Wash Detergent Compartment
This compartment holds laundry detergent for the main wash
cycle; this detergent is added to the load at the beginning of
the cycle. Always use HE (High-Efficiency) detergent with
your washing machine. Either powdered or liquid detergent
may be used.
Never exceed the manufacturer's recommendations when
adding detergent. Using too much detergent can result in
detergent buildup in clothing and the washer.
NOTE: Liquid or powdered color-safe bleach may be added
to the main wash compartment with detergent of the same
type. DO NOT add liquid or powdered color-safe bleach to
the bleach dispenser. DO NOT mix liquid and powdered
cleaning agents within the same compartment.
Liquid Bieach Compartment
This compartment holds liquid chlorine bleach, which will be
dispensed automatically at the proper time during the wash
cycle.
• Do not add powdered or liquid color-safe bleach to this
compartment. The bleach compartment is designed to
dispense liquid chlorine bleach only. Powdered or liquid
color-safe bleach will not dispense properly.
• Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations when
adding bleach. Do not exceed the maximum fill line since
this can cause the bleach to be dispensed immediately
causing damage to fabrics. Using too much bleach can
damage fabrics.
• Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto the
load or into the drum. Fabric damage can occur.
Fabric Softener Compartment
This compartment holds liquid fabric softener, which will be
automatically dispensed during the final rinse cycle.
Never exceed the manufacturer's recommendations when
adding softener. Using too much fabric softener can result in
buildup in clothing and the washer. Either powdered or liquid
fabric softener may be used.
• Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations when
adding fabric softener. Do not exceed the maximum fill line.
Using too much fabric softener may stain clothes.
• Dilute concentrated fabric softeners with warm water.
Do not exceed the maximum fill line.
• Never pour fabric softener directly onto the load or into the
drum.
