Cleaning the Fabric Softener Dispenser 

(on some models)

Remove the dispenser from the top of the agitator.

Separate the dispenser cup from the cover by grasping the top and pushing down
on the inside of the cup with your fingers. Dispenser cup will pop free from the
cover.

To clean the dispenser, soak both the dispenser cup and the dispenser cover in the
following solution:

1 US gallon (3.8 liters) warm water

■ 

1/4 cup (60 ml) heavy duty liquid detergent

1 cup (240 ml) bleach

If necessary, loosen buildup with a clean, soft cloth after soaking. Do not use a stiff
brush; you may roughen the surface of the dispenser.

Rinse and reassemble dispenser. Place dispenser back on the agitator.

Liquid Bleach Dispenser 

(on some models)

The dispenser dilutes liquid chlorine bleach before it reaches your wash load.

Check clothing care labels for special instructions.

Measure liquid bleach carefully, following instructions on the bottle.

■ 

Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto clothes or into the wash basket.

■ 

Do not pour powdered bleach into bleach dispenser.

Before starting the washer, pour measured amount of bleach directly into bleach
dispenser. Avoid splashing or over-filling dispenser. If you prefer to use powdered
bleach, add it into the wash basket with your detergent.

■ 

Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such as vinegar and/or rust remover.
Mixing can produce a toxic gas which may cause death.
