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 model does not have a dispenser drawer for detergent
since it has a bulk detergent dispensing system.
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.
NOTE:
The right side of the dispensing area in the rear of
the washer opening does NOT pull out. It is a spout only
for water and detergent to flow from the smart dispense
system.
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.
