Chlorine bleach dispenser

The dispenser automatically dilutes liquid
chlorine bleach before it reaches your wash
load. To use, follow these steps:

1. Measure liquid chlorine bleach carefully,

following the instructions on the bottle.

2. Add the bleach to the dispenser before

adding the load. Avoid splashing or over-
filling the dispenser. Wipe up spills.

• Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine

bleach directly onto the load or into the
wash tub. It is a powerful chemical and
can cause fabric damage, such as
tearing or color loss, if not used prop-
erly.

• If you prefer to use color-safe, non-

chlorine bleach, pour it into the wash
tub with your detergent. Do not pour
non-chlorine bleaches into the bleach
dispenser.

PERATING TIPS

Fabric softener dispenser

This dispenser automatically releases liquid
fabric softener at the proper time during the
cycle. To use, follow these steps:

1. Pour liquid fabric softener into the dis-

penser using the amount recommended
on the package.

2. Add warm water to the dispenser until it

reaches the MAX line. Wipe up spills.

• Do not stop the washer during the first

spin. This will cause the dispenser to
empty too soon.

• Never pour fabric softener directly on

the load. It will leave spots and stains.

• Use the dispenser for liquid fabric sof-

teners only. Clean the area in and
around the dispenser frequently with
hot water, detergent and a soft brush.

Pour liquid fabric softener into cup and dilute with
warm water.

Pour liquid chlorine bleach into bleach dispenser.

For detailed information on sorting, pretreating stains, etc., see the enclosed Laundry Tips booklet.

Detergent

• Use either liquid or granular laundry

detergent. For best results, be sure
detergent is added to the washer
BEFORE the load and be sure wash
water is above 65˚ F.

• Use the correct amount of detergent for

the load size, soil level and water condi-
tions. Use more detergent if you have
hard water and/or very soiled loads.

If you have soft water or a lightly soiled
load, use less detergent. (See manufac-
turer’s instructions.)

• Wipe up any detergent spills on the

washer.

Add detergent before the load.
