Main Wash Detergent Compartment

Liquid Bleach Compartment

This compartment holds laundry detergent for the main wash cycle, which is added to the load at the beginning of the cycle. Always use HE (High-Efficiency) detergent with your washing machine.

Never exceed the detergent manufacturer's recommenda- tions when adding detergent. Using too much detergent can result in detergent buildup in clothing and the washer. Either powdered or liquid detergent may be used.

• When using liquid detergent, make sure the liquid deter-

gent cup and insert are in place. Do not exceed the maxi- mum fill line.

When using powdered detergent, remove the insert and liquid detergent cup from the compartment. Powdered detergent will not dispense with the liquid detergent cup and insert in place.

The bleach dispenser is a separate compartment at the left front of the tub opening. Use this compartment to dispense liquid chlorine bleach at the proper time in the wash cycle.

Do not add powdered or liquid color-safe bleach to this compartment. The bleach compartment is designed to dispense liquid chlorine bleach only. Powdered or liquid color-safe bleach will not dispense properly.

Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations when adding bleach. Do not exceed the maximum fill line since this can cause the bleach to be dispensed immediately causing damage to fabrics. Using too much bleach can damage fabrics.

Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto the load or into the drum. Fabric damage can occur.

Fabric Softener Compartment

This compartment holds liquid fabric softener, which will be

automatically dispensed during the final rinse cycle. Never exceed the manufacturer's recommendations when

adding softener. Using too much fabric softener can result in buildup in clothing and the washer. Either powdered or liquid fabric softener may be used.

Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations when

adding fabric softener. Do not exceed the maximum fill line.

Using too much fabric softener may stain clothes.

Dilute concentrated fabric softeners with warm water. Do not exceed the maximum fill line.

Never pour fabric softener directly onto the load or into the tub.

NOTE: The NORMAL/CASUAL cycle and the HEAVY DUTY cycle use a special JET SPRAY rinse to save water. If fabric softener is to be used with either of these cycles, then the FABRIC SOFTENER option or the EXTRA RINSE option must be selected. Either option will cause the cycle to end with a deep rinse instead of the spray rinse. Failure to select either option will result in poor fabric softener performance.

Do NOT mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids, such as vinegar or rust / scale remover.

Mixing chemicals like these can produce gas which may cause death.

Put the manufacturer's recommended amount of undiluted liquid chlorine bleach into the bleach dispenser.

During the final portion of the wash cycle, two sequential flushes of the dispenser put all the bleach into the wash load and completely flush the dispenser to eliminate the carryover of bleach to a subsequent load.

Any liquid remaining in the bleach dispenser at the end of the cycle is water, not bleach.

To prevent unintentional self-siphoning of the bleach, never fill the dispenser higher than the maximum fill level marked on the dispenser.

When adding bleach to the dispenser, be careful to avoid spilling it into the laundry load or leaving droplets of bleach around the dispenser. These things will damage your laundry items.
