B. DETERGENT

• Add measured detergent to the detergent compartment

of the dispenser drawer.

• 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.

• Low sudsing detergent is recommended for this washer.

Use the manufacturer's recommended amount.

• If low sudsing detergent is not available, a reduced

amount of regular detergent may be used.  Because
reducing the amount of detergent may reduce cleaning,
it is important to pretreat stains, sort carefully by color
and soil level, and avoid overloading.

• Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for water

temperature, water hardness, size and soil level of the
load.

• For best results, avoid oversudsing.

• Laundry products used with powder or liquid detergent,

such as color-safe bleach, water conditioner, detergent
booster, and enzyme products should be added to the
empty tub before loading.

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.

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 the bleach and fabric softener.

      • Dispenser  drawer  should  be  completely  closed  for

powdered detergent, bleach and fabric softener to
despense.

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       .

• 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.

Do not use powdered bleach in the dispenser.

D. FABRIC SOFTENER

• If desired, pour the recommended amount of fabric

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

• Dilute concentrated softeners with warm water to the

Fill Line.

• 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.
