Getting started
I
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.
If it is desired to manually select the amount of
detergent for a given load,
this can be done by pressing
the
Select
button on the
Smart Dispense
control panel to
choose between
Less
or
More
detergent.
Less
will provide
less detergent than the
Auto
selection and
More
will
provide more detergent than the
Auto
selection.
The smart dispense feature can be disabled by pressing
the Select button on the Smart Dispense control panel
until Off is selected.
NOTE:
Not all cycles will allow the use of the
SmartDispense feature. If the
Off
LED is illuminated and
pressing the
Select
button 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
wash basket for these cycles.
This machine is equipped with a bulk detergent reservoir
that can hold approximately 75 ounces of liquid detergent
for your convenience. This is enough detergent for about
50 average laundry loads, depending on what dispense
amount is selected.
When the
Tank Low
or
Tank Empty
LED is illuminated,
more detergent should be added to the reservoir to ensure
detergent will be available for the next cycle.
The filling port of the detergent reservoir is located on the
front left
of the washing machine. To fill the reservoir with
liquid detergent, first open the tank lid by rotating the small
lid clockwise. Then pour
LIQUID
detergent into the opening
until the level reaches the MAX indicator located inside
the filling port, also indicated with the horizontal line next
to the MAX lettering. Filling to this MAX level will provide
detergent for about 50 average laundry loads.
NOTE:
If it is desired to change detergent type in the
detergent tank, it is not required to flush the smart dispense
system. The new detergent type can be added to a partially-
filled tank, however it will not be immediately dispensed
until the original detergent is completely dispensed from the
system.
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.

Power Clean and Gentle Care
(on some models)
The
Auto
setting balances wash performance, fabric care, and cycle time for normally-soiled or lightly-soiled loads.
Gentle Care
reduces agitation time and adds a series of soaks to reduce fabric wear/fading while still providing great wash
performance on garments needing special care.
Use
Power Clean
to add heavy agitation and soaking to boost wash performance for loads needing a deep clean.
