The Dispenser Drawer

About the washer features.

The Dispenser Drawer

Slowly open the dispenser drawer by pulling it 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, fabric softener or detergent.

You may see water in the bleach and fabric softener compartments at the end of the cycle. This is a result of the flushing/siphoning action and is part of the normal operation of the washer.

Use only HE High-Efficiency detergent.

The Prewash Compartment

Only use the Prewash Compartment if you are selecting the Prewash cycle for heavily soiled clothes. Add measured detergent or prewash additive to the back left prewash compartment of the dispenser drawer.

Detergent or prewash additive is flushed from the dispenser in the prewash cycle (if selected).

NOTE: Liquid detergent will drain into the washer drum as it is added.

Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for water temperature, water hardness, size and soil level of the load. Avoid using too much detergent in your washer as

it can lead to over sudsing and leave detergent residue on the clothes.
