Choosing the Right Detergent

Your new washer has a dispenser drawer with four separate compartments for your laundry products--two are 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.

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).

Prewash detergent compartment

(Number 1 in Dispenser Illustration)

Add detergent to this compartment when using the Prewash option or Auto Soak. Liquid or powdered detergent may be used in this compartment. The detergent will automatically be dispensed during Prewash if the Prewash option is selected or during the soak time if Auto Soak is selected.

•Using High Efficiency (HE) detergent, add 1/3the recommended amount to the prewash compartment and % the recommended amount to the main wash compartment.

Main Wash detergent compartment

(Number 3 in Dispenser Illustration)

Add liquid or powdered detergent to this compartment for your main wash cycle. The detergent separator must always be in place, either in the front or back position.

IMPORTANT: If you are using the Prewash option, the Auto Soak with a wash cycle, or Delay, powdered detergent must be used in the main wash compartment since liquid detergents may seep out of the main wash compartment during the prewash, soak time, or delay before the main wash begins.

•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.
