Special Features

Liquid 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.Pour liquid chlorine bleach into bleach dispenser before adding the load. Avoid splashing or over-filling the dispenser.

Fabric Softener Dispenser

The dispenser automatically releases liquid fabric softener at the proper time during the cycle.

To use, follow these steps:

1.Pour a measured amount of fabric softener into the dispenser to fill line only.

2.If fabric softener comes below line, add warm water.

If it is necessary to clean the dispenser:

1.Pull the dispenser off of the top of the agitator.

2.Soak for one hour in sink or container in hot water and dishwashing liquid.

3.Hold hands over top and bottom of dispenser and shake to loosen buildup.

4.Rinse with clean, hot water.

5.Repeat process if necessary.

6.Replace dispenser on agitator.

Do not use dishwashing liquid inside the washer. Oversudsing can occur.

Notes:

•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 properly.

•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.

Automatic Lint Filtering System

The Lint Filtering System does not require cleaning.

Wash and rinse water is filtered and re-filtered continuously to trap lint shed by most fabrics during the agitation cycle before it can be redeposited on the wash load. The engineered hole design on the wash basket, in conjunction with water flow produced by the agitator, traps lint away from the clothes between the inner wash basket and the outer tub. Lint is automatically flushed from the washer during the spin cycle.

Safety Spin

If for any reason you open the washer lid when the washer is in a spin or extract period, the operation will immediately stop. This is for your personal safety. If your washer does not stop, call your service technician immediately. When the lid is closed, the operation will automatically resume.
