Detergent Compartment
The detergent compartment is located on the right side of the dispenser drawer. Refer to compartment 1 of illustration.
Use low sudsing, high efficiency (HE) powdered or liquid detergents that are recommended for use with frontload washers. Powdered bleach can also be used in the dispenser along with the detergent.
NOTE: High efficiency (HE) detergents are designed especially for frontload washers to reduce oversudsing and maximize cleaning results.
Look for the HE logo or “high efficiency” on the detergent’s label.
NOTE: If using detergents made for topload washers, avoid oversudsing by using only 1/4 cup regular detergent (1/2 of the recommended amount).
When adding detergent, use only the recommended amount. Adding too much detergent or using regular sudsing detergent could result in an oversudsing condition, which would require additional rinsing with cold water. Use care when adding detergent so as not to spill into the other compartments. Detergent mixed with fabric softener can make the softener gummy.
NOTE: The normal level of suds should be below center of the door.
Liquid Bleach Compartment
The bleach compartment is located in the left front corner of the dispenser drawer. Refer to compartment 2 of illustration. It has been designed to prevent the dispensing of undiluted bleach onto the clothes load.
Use liquid bleach in the dispenser. Powdered bleach must not be used in this compartment. Powdered bleach can be used in the detergent compartment only and can be added along with the detergent.
DO NOT use more than the maximum level indicated for the bleach compartment. Adding more than the maximum amount could result in early dispensing of the product and possible damage to fabrics.
Carefully pour recommended amount of bleach into the compartment before starting wash load.
Be careful not to spill undiluted bleach. It is a strong chemical and can damage some fabrics if it is not properly diluted. Follow bleach manufacturer’s label for proper use.
Carefully close dispenser door. Do not allow bleach to spill into other compartments.
