Liquid Dispenser

The dispenser may be used for fabric softener with most cycles or liquid detergent with the Stain Cleaner cycle (select models). The liquid dispenser should be cleaned before and after each use of liquid detergent. The dispenser automatically releases the liquid at the proper time during the cycle.

To use, follow these steps:

1.Pour a measured amount of desired liquid into the dispenser to fill line only.

2.If liquid comes below line, add warm water.

If it is necessary to clean the dispenser:

1.Pull the dispenser off of the top of the agitator.

2.Soak for one hour in sink or container in hot water and dishwashing liquid.

3.Hold hands over top and bottom of dispenser and shake to loosen buildup.

4.Rinse with clean, hot water.

5.Repeat process if necessary.

6.Replace dispenser on agitator.

Do not use dishwashing liquid inside the washer. Oversudsing can occur.

Note:

Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto the load or into the wash tub. It is a powerful chemical and can cause fabric damage, such as tearing or color loss, if not used properly.

If you prefer to use color-safe, non-chlorine bleach, pour it into the wash tub with your detergent. Do not pour non-chlorine bleach into the bleach dispenser.

Instant Water (select models)

Provides a flow of water when holding the switch in the On position.

Stain Cleaner Cycle (select models)

The Stain Cleaner cycle eliminates the inconvenience of soaking stained loads before they are placed in the washer. To use:

1.Add liquid or granular detergent to the washtub.

2.Add the load.

3.Add liquid detergent only to the Liquid Dispenser in the top of the agitator.

4.Set the control dial to Start in the Stain Cleaner cycle.

The load will soak for 30 minutes with brief periods of agitation. The water is then spun out and clean wash water is added along with the liquid detergent for a 16-minute wash cycle.

Safety Spin

If for any reason you open the washer lid when the

 

washer is in a spin or extract period, the operation will

 

immediately stop. This is for your personal safety. If

 

your washer does not stop, call your service technician

 

immediately. When the lid is closed, the operation will

 

automatically resume.
