°Small amounts of residue remaining in the dispenser com- partments are normal. If this residue builds up it can inter- fere with normal dispensing of products. Refer to the clean- ing instructions on page 25.
°You cannot store bleach in the dispenser for future use. The bleach will be dispensed every load.
•Overfilling the dispenser with bleach may lead to premature dispensing. There is a maximum fill line indicated on the bleach dispenser to help avoid overfilling.
°Make sure that the bleach cover is properly seated and snapped into place before the start of the cycle.
°Lift out the bleach dispenser cover and clean out the reser- voir. Lint and other foreign debris that collects in the bottom may prevent proper dispensing of the bleach.
•Heavier soils and tougher stains may require extra cleaning power. Select PRESOAK or STAIN TREAT to boost the cleaning power of the selected cycle.
°Articles that have previously been washed may have stains that have been set. These stains may be difficult to remove and may require hand washing or retreating to aid in stain
removal, | j/ |
