Bleach Dispenser

The bleach dispenser is located in the left front corner, under the loading door.

Use liquid bleach in the dispenser. Powdered bleach must not be used in the dispenser. Add powdered bleach to the wash water.

Use no more than one cup chlorine bleach for large loads, three-quarters cup for medium and one-half cup for small loads.

Carefully pour recommended amount of bleach into the dispenser during the first fill of the washer.

Be careful not to spill undiluted bleach. It is a strong chemical and can damage some fabrics if it is not properly diluted.

Fabric Softener Dispenser

To Use Dispenser

After the clothes are loaded into the washtub and before the start of the WASH cycle, pour the proper amount of liquid fabric softener into the bottle measuring cap (see bottle directions). Pour into dispenser.

The large fabric softener dispenser allows for the fabric softener to be diluted with water. We recommend adding water up to the fill level. Do not exceed tip of arrow which indicates correct fill level. Over-filling can allow fabric softener to spill onto the clothes.

Setting the water level to medium or higher will result in better performance from the fabric softener.

The fabric softener will remain in the dispenser during the wash fill, agitation and spin. At the end of the wash spin, the liquid fabric softener will be dispensed into the washtub through the slots in the agitator and will be mixed with the incoming rinse water.

To Clean the Dispenser

Remove the dispenser housing from agitator by squeezing the lower part of the dispenser, pulling directly upward and at the same time tilting slightly. This will expose the dispenser cup, which is also removable for cleaning (refer to illustration). Both housing and cup can be soaked in hot soapy water and rinsed clean. The funnel shape in top of agitator also needs to be cleaned. The hole and the slots in the two rings will require using a small brush for proper cleaning.

After cleaning, install dispenser cup, then push dispenser housing directly downward onto top of agitator until firmly snapped together.

Use Tips

•Fabric softener spilled onto garments may cause staining. To remove, soak in a soapy solution made from Sard Wonder Soap or rub the stain with a bar of Sard, then wash.

•Liquid fabric softeners will be dispensed during the final rinse and should not be combined with bleach, bluing, starch, detergents, soaps or packaged water conditioners.

•Fabric softener is not to be used in dispenser when using Prewash cycle, if available.

•When adding detergent to wash water, do not allow any to enter into softener dispenser cup, as softener will become gummy.

To prevent softener buildup, the dispenser can be filled with clean water for automatic cleaning. This can be done in washing cycles other than when softener is used.

Agitator Cap

IMPORTANT: If your washer comes with an agitator cap, the cap must be on at all times.
