Adding
Detergent
NOTE:
Use only low-sudsing, high-efficiency
detergent such as Tide
®
HE.
Add measured detergent to the detergent
compartment of the dispenser drawer.
•
Do not exceed the maximum fill line.
Detergent is flushed through the dispenser at the
beginning of the wash phase. Either powdered or
liquid detergent can be used.
When using liquid detergent, make sure the
detergent box and insert are in place. For powdered
detergent, remove both the detergent box and
insert.
Powdered detergent will not dispense with
the detergent box and insert in place.
Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for water
temperature, water hardness, size and soil level of
the load. Avoid using too much detergent in your
washer, as it can lead to oversudsing and detergent
residue being left on the clothes.
Adding Fabric
Softener
If desired, pour the recommended amount of liquid
fabric softener into the left-hand compartment.
Use only liquid fabric softener.
Dilute with water to the maximum fill line.
•
Do not exceed the maximum fill line.
Overfilling can cause early dispensing of the fabric
softener, which could stain clothes.
NOTE:
Do not pour fabric softener directly on the
wash load. It may stain the clothes.
ADDITIVES
Adding
Pretreat
Additives
The Pretreat dispenser may be used to clean heavily
soiled or stained garments more efficiently. Selecting
ADDITIVES
when setting a presoak sets a special
Pretreat that soaks, drains and spins, then refills the
washer for the main wash cycle. If
ADDITIVES
is not
selected, the washer will not drain and refill after the
presoak.
Place the additives for the Wash Boost setting in the
right-hand compartment. Select an Extra Rinse to
make sure all remaining detergent is removed from
the wash load.
You may add low-sudsing, high-efficiency liquid
detergent to this compartment when selecting a
Stain Inspector cycle or when choosing a Presoak
requiring special additives.
•
Do not exceed the maximum fill line to avoid
oversudsing.
Overfilling can cause early dispensing of presoak
additives, which could result in damaged clothes.
