USING THE W

A

SHER

Getting started

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.

Liquid Bleach Dispenser 

(PTW600, PTW605, GTW720 and GTW725 models only)

HE detergent should be added to the 

right side

 of the 

dispenser drawer. 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.

Detergent Dispenser 

(GTW720 and GTW725 models only)

Liquid fabric softener/conditioner should be added to the 

left 

side

 of the dispenser drawer. Follow the liquid fabric softener/

conditioner manufacturer’s recommendations for the correct 

amount of softener/conditioner, based on load size, taking care 

to add softener/conditioner to the 

left compartment

. 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. 

Detergent packets (Laundry Packs) should be added to 

the Laundry Pack Dispenser cup. 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 or, in rare cases, remove the outer cup 

to use the secondary, larger chamber to dispense harder to 

dissolve detergent packs.
