Optional Features

Bleach Dispenser

The bleach dispenser is located in the left front corner, 
under the loading door.

Use liquid bleach in the dispenser. Powdered bleach 
must not be used in the dispenser. Add powdered 
bleach to the wash water.

Use no more than one cup chlorine bleach for large 
loads, three-quarters cup for medium and one-half cup 
for small loads.

Carefully pour recommended amount of bleach into 
the dispenser during the first fill of the washer.

Be careful not to spill undiluted bleach. It is a strong 
chemical and can damage some fabrics if it is not 
properly diluted.

Fabric Softener Dispenser

To Use Dispenser

After the clothes are loaded into the washtub and 
before the start of the WASH cycle, pour the proper 
amount of liquid fabric softener into the bottle 
measuring cap (refer to bottle directions). Pour into 
dispenser.

The large fabric softener dispenser allows for the 
fabric softener to be diluted with water. We 
recommend adding water up to the fill level. Do not 
exceed tip of arrow, which indicates correct fill level. 
Over-filling can allow fabric softener to spill onto the 
clothes.

Setting the water level to medium or higher will result 
in better performance from the fabric softener.

The fabric softener will remain in the dispenser during 
the wash fill, agitation and spin. At the end of the wash 
spin, the liquid fabric softener will be dispensed into 
the washtub through the slots in the agitator and will 
be mixed with the incoming rinse water.

To Clean the Dispenser

Remove the dispenser housing from agitator by 
squeezing the lower part of the dispenser, pulling 
directly upward and at the same time tilting slightly. 
This will expose the dispenser cup, which is also 
removable for cleaning (refer to 

Figure 9

). Both 

housing and cup can be soaked in hot soapy water and 
rinsed clean. The funnel shape in top of agitator and 
down the centre of the agitator also needs to be 
cleaned. The hole and the slots in the two rings will 
require using a small brush for proper cleaning.

After cleaning, install dispenser cup, then push 
dispenser housing directly downward onto top of 
agitator until firmly snapped together.

Use Tips

Fabric softener spilled onto garments may cause 
staining. To remove, soak in a soapy solution 
made from Sard Wonder Soap or rub the stain 
with a bar of Sard, then wash.

Liquid fabric softeners will be dispensed during 
the final rinse and should not be combined with 
bleach, bluing, starch, detergents, soaps or 
packaged water conditioners.

Fabric softener is not to be used in dispenser 
when using Prewash cycle, if available.

When adding detergent to wash water, do not 
allow any to enter into softener dispenser cup, as 
softener will become gummy.

To prevent softener buildup, the dispenser can be filled 
with clean water for automatic cleaning. This can be 
done in washing cycles other than when softener is 
used.
