A.OPENING AND CLOSING THE DISPENSER DRAWER

Slowly open the dispenser drawer by first sliding the safety latch to the right, then pulling the drawer out until it stops.

After adding laundry products, slowly close the dispenser drawer. Closing the drawer too quickly could result in

early dispensing of the bleach and fabric softener.

Dispenser drawer should be completely closed for powdered detergent, bleach and fabric softener to despense.

Laundry products used with powder or liquid detergent, such color-safe bleach, water conditioner, detergent booster, and enzyme products should be added to the empty tub before loading.

Note: From time to time you may see water in the bleach and fabric softener compartments. This is a result of the siphoning action and is part of the normal operation of the washer.

C.LIQUID BLEACH

and pour it into the center compartment labeled "Liquid Bleach" and marked with this symbol .
