Getting started

USING THE W

A

SHER

Use a measuring cup to pour the bleach into the bleach 

dispenser. Measure liquid bleach carefully and DO NOT pour 

directly from the bleach bottle into the bleach dispenser. 

NOTE:

 The bleach dispenser is a single use dispenser and is 

NOT a bulk dispense system. The maximum amount of bleach 

that should be poured into this dispenser for any load should 

never exceed 1 cup.

NOTE:

 In the event that excessive chlorine bleach is 

accidentally spilled or otherwise gets into the detergent tank, 

please follow the 

Detergent Tank Clean-Out

 instructions in the 

Care and Cleaning

 section in order to minimize the possibility 

for clothing damage. If only a few drops of bleach are spilled 

into the detergent tank, there is no need to flush the tank.

NOTE:

 In the event that detergent is accidentally spilled or 

otherwise gets into the bleach opening, that detergent will 

simply be used for the next wash cycle. In this case there is no 

need to perform any flushing routine.

Liquid Bleach 

(PTW905 and PTW900 models only)

Flex Dispense Drawer

Use this Flex Dispense Drawer for softener/conditioner, pre-wash detergent, detergent packets (laundry packs) and main detergent.

Liquid fabric softener/conditioner should be added to the far 

left washer drawer compartment

. Follow the liquid fabric softener/

conditioner manufacturer’s recommendations for the correct amount 

of softener/conditioner, based on the load size. Do not overfill 

or dilute softener/conditioner as this can result in additive being 

dispensed prematurely in the wash cycle. Your option selections will 

determine when liquid fabric softener/conditioner is automatically 

dispensed at its optimal time in the rinse cycle.

NOTE:

 Fabric softener crystals should 

NOT

 be added to the dispenser drawer, 

as they will not dispense properly.

Pre-wash detergent should 

be added to the middle left 

(second from left) Custom Add 

compartment. 

Use with SmartHQ 

App. Fill for heavily soiled loads 

to loosen and remove heavy soil 

before starting the main cycle 

selected. Refer to the SmartHQ App 

for Flex Dispense capabilities.

Detergent packets (Laundry Packs) should be added to the middle right (third from left) compartment.

 For best performance, 

pods should be placed in the center (left to right) of the compartment and towards the front of the compartment. Avoid pushing the 

pod to the rear of the compartment unless using two or more pods. Do not lean pods against the side walls of the pod compartment. 

Follow the detergent manufacturer’s recommendations for the correct number of detergent packets for your wash load. Do not add 

more detergent packets than recommended as this can result in residual detergent being leftover at the end of the cycle. Your option 

selections will determine when detergent is automatically dispensed at its optimal time in the wash cycle.

NOTE: 

We recommend the use of High Efficiency 

 laundry packs such as Tide PODS™ or Gain Flings™. Some detergent packs 

may not dispense completely at very cold temperatures or in the delicate cycle. In these cases, you may use a warmer temperature 

setting to dispense harder to dissolve detergent packs.

HE detergent should be added to the far right 

compartment.

 Follow the detergent manufacturer’s 

recommendations for the correct amount of detergent, 

based on load size, taking care to add detergent to the 

right 

compartment

. Do not overfill or dilute detergent as this can 

result in additive being dispensed prematurely in the wash 

cycle. Your option selections will determine when detergent is 

automatically dispensed at its optimal time in the wash cycle. 

For optimal performance, especially 

when selecting cooler temperature 

and in cold weather climates, place 

powdered HE detergent directly on top 

of the load.

NOTE: 

Single-dose laundry packets 

should not be added to the detergent 

dispenser, as they will not dispense 

properly. Put packets in the Laundry 

Pack Dispenser Cup.

Liquid chlorine bleach should be added through the 

bleach dispenser in the 

front left corner

. Follow bleach 

manufacturer’s recommendations for the correct amount of 

liquid chlorine bleach based on load size, taking care to not 

apply or spill it directly on clothing.

NOTE:

 Do not use liquid chlorine bleach and laundry 

pretreatments such as an Oxi product in the same wash load.
