Bleach Dispenser

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

Use liquid bleach in the dispenser.

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.

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

Agitator Cap

IMPORTANT: The agitator must have either the cap or Fabric Softener Dispenser on it at all times.

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.
