ABOUT THE DISPENSER DRAWER

The automatic dispenser consists of four compartments which hold:

Liquid chlorine bleach.

Liquid fabric softener.

Liquid or powdered detergent for prewash.

Liquid or powdered detergent and color-safe bleach for main wash.

Pre-Wash Detergent Compartment

Add liquid or powdered detergent to this compartment when using the Pre-Wash option. Always use High- Efficiency (HE) detergent with your washing machine.

The amount of detergent added for the Pre-Wash option should be ½ the amount recommended for the main wash cycle. For example, if the main wash cycle requires ½ measure of detergent, add ¼ measure to the Pre-Wash compartment.

NOTE: If using liquid detergent for the main wash when using the Pre-Wash option, the liquid detergent cup accessory must be used in the main wash dispenser. This will prevent the main wash liquid detergent from being dispensed immediately.

Main Wash Detergent Compartment

This compartment holds laundry detergent for the main wash cycle. The detergent is added to the load at the beginning of the cycle. Always use High-Efficiency (HE) 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 Bleach Compartment

This compartment holds liquid chlorine bleach, which is 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 is 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.
