Using Laundry Product Dispensers
Add a measured amount of HE detergent
into detergent tray. This tray holds 3 oz. (89 mL). Do not overfill
tray - adding too much detergent may cause detergent to be
dispensed into the washer too early.
IMPORTANT: Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package
will be marked “HE” or “High Efficiency.” Low-water washing
creates excessive sudsing with a regular non-HE detergent.
Using regular detergent will likely result in longer cycle times
and reduced rinsing performance. It may also result in component
failures and noticeable mold or mildew. HE detergents are made
to produce the right amount of suds for the best performance.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to determine the amount
of detergent to use.
Using Oxi or color-safe bleach:
If using an Oxi or color-safe bleach laundry boost product, add
to the bottom of the washer basket before adding clothes.
HELPFUL TIP: See “Washer Maintenance” for information
on recommended method of cleaning washer dispenser trays.

Add fabric softener to dispenser
Pour a measured amount of liquid fabric
softener into tray, always follow manufacturer’s directions for
correct amount of fabric softener based on your load size.
Close dispenser drawer, then select Fabric Softener option.
IMPORTANT: Fabric Softener option must be selected to ensure
proper distribution at correct time in cycle. Do not overfill or
dilute. Overfilling dispenser will cause fabric softener to
immediately dispense into washer.
If 2nd Rinse option is selected, fabric softener will be dispensed
into the last rinse.
It is normal for a small amount of water to remain in the
dispenser at the end of a cycle.

Chlorine Bleach
