Cleaning the Detergent Dispenser Drawer

When detergent builds up in and around the drawer, remove the drawer by pressing on the plastic part of the softener compartment marked “PUSH” (Fig. 10A). Place under running water for a few minutes to remove buildup. Clean and wipe out the area around the dispenser with a damp cloth before replacing the drawer.

Tips

Do not use liquid detergent for pre-wash because the detergent will wash out of the drawer. Use only (HE) powdered detergent in the pre- wash compartment.

Use low-suds high efﬁcient (HE) detergent made for front-loading washers. For HE detergents, use only 1 – 2 tablespoons. Too much detergent can leave residue on your clothing and damage the washer/ dryer.

Do not use hand-washing detergent, as it may foam too much and damage your machine.

Do not over use Fabric Softener. Use 1 to 2 tablespoons only!

Reduce the amount of detergent for cold water washing, as it dissolves less easily in cold water.

Do not exceed recommended amounts of detergent and softener, as it will result in poor washing, rinsing, and drying efﬁciency.

For (HE) liquid detergent use, refer to page 13.
