Dispenser Drawer
Slowly open the dispenser drawer by pulling it 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, fabric softener or
detergent.
You may see water in the detergent, bleach and fabric
softener compartments at the end of the cycle. This is a
result of the flushing/siphoning action and is part of the
normal operation of the washer.
Do
NOT
put detergent packets in the dispenser drawer.
NOTE:
Use only liquid or powder HE detergents and
additives in the dispenser drawer. Laundry detergent
packets should only be added directly to the wash
basket following the manufacturer’s directions.

SmartDispense
™
(on some models)
When selected, this feature will automatically add
detergent to the wash, eliminating the need to add
detergent for each load.
The detergent amount selection on the control
panel will default to
AUTO
when first powering up
the washing machine. When
AUTO
is selected, the
amount of detergent needed for each laundry load will
automatically be determined based on the size of the
load the machine senses.
For
AUTO
, the washer will dispense approximately 1.5 oz
of detergent for an 8 lb normal load. For other loads,
it will adjust proportionally based on the size of load
and garment type. If you select
LESS
, the amount of
detergent will be reduced by 40%. This may be desired
for higher concentrate detergents or if you have very soft
water. For heavily soiled loads, you may want to select
MORE
to add 40% more detergent than the
AUTO
level.
NOTE:
Not all cycles will allow the use of the
SmartDispense feature. If the light is not illuminated
and pressing the
SMART DISPENSE
pad results in a
beeping tone, then SmartDispense is not allowed for the
cycle that has been selected. Detergent will need to be
added directly to the detergent compartment for these
cycles.
If it is desired to manually select the amount of
detergent for a given load,
this can be done by
pressing the
SMART DISPENSE
pad on the control
panel to select detergent for a
Small
or
Large
load.
Small
will provide less detergent than average and
Large
will provide more detergent than average.
NOTE: If it is desired to manually add detergent for a
load, that detergent will need to be added directly to
the basket, and the SMART DISPENSE set to off for
that particular load.
The smart dispense feature can be disabled by pressing
the SMART DISPENSE pad until off is selected.

Prewash Compartment
(on some models)
Only use the prewash compartment if you are selecting
the
PreWash
or
AutoSoak
cycle for heavily soiled clothes.
Add measured detergent or prewash additive to the back
left prewash compartment of the dispenser drawer.
•
Detergent or prewash additive is flushed from the
dispenser in the
PreWash
or
AutoSoak
cycle (if
selected).
•
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 over sudsing and detergent residue
being left on the clothes.
