C. LIQUID BLEACH

•  If desired, measure out the recommended amount of

liquid chlorine bleach (not to exceed 1/3 cup (80 mL))
and pour it into the center compartment labeled
"Liquid Bleach" and marked with this symbol        .

•  Fill to the mininum fill line (MIN.)for small loads. Fill

to the maximum fill line (MAX.) for large loads.  Do not
exceed the maximum fill line. Overfilling can cause
early dispensing of the bleach which could result in
damaged clothes.

• Do not pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly

onto the load or into the drum.  Fabric damage can
occur.

Add powder or liquid color-safe bleach to the
detergent dispenser.

D. FABRIC SOFTENER

• If desired, pour the recommended amount of fabric

softener into the compartment labeled "Fabric
Softener" and marked with this symbol        .

• Fill to the mininum fill line (MIN.) for small loads.  Fill

to the maximum fill line (MAX.) for large loads.  Do not
exceed the maximum fill line. Overfilling can cause
early dispensing of the fabric softener which could
result in stained clothes.

Do not pour fabric softener directly on the wash
load.

• Use of a fabric softener dispensing ball is not

recommended in tumble action washers.

A. OPENING AND CLOSING THE DISPENSER DRAWER

• Slowly open the dispenser drawer by first sliding the

safety  latch  to  the right, then pulling the drawer out
until it stops.

• After adding laundry products, slowly close the

dispenser drawer. Closing the drawer too quickly
could result in early dispensing of bleach or fabric
softener.

B. DETERGENT

• Detergent is flushed from the dispenser at the beginning

of the cycle. Either powdered or liquid detergent can
be used. 

Note:

 Liquid detergent will drain into the

washer drum as it is added.

• Add a low-sudsing, high-efficiency detergent made for

front-loading washers to the dispenser chamber.  Look
for this symbol                    on the detergent label.

Use the cap or scoop provided bythe detergent
manufacturer to measure the amount recommended.

• Color-safe bleach, water conditioner, detergent

booster and enzyme products may be added to the
detergent compartment.  Avoid mixing liquids and
powders.

• Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for water

temperature, water hardness, load size and soil level.

• For best results, avoid oversudsing.

5. Add detergent, bleach and fabric softener to  automatic dispenser following these steps:

Note:

  From time to time you may see water in the

bleach and fabric softener compartments. This is a
result of the siphoning action and is part of the normal
operation of the washer.
