Premature
dispensing of bleach
Bleach dispenser filled for future load.
• You cannot store bleach in the dispenser for future use. The bleach will be dispensed every
load.
Overfilling the bleach dispenser
• Overfilling the bleach dispenser will cause the bleach to dispense immediately, which will
damage the laundry or the washer. Always measure bleach, but never fill above the max
line on the dispenser.
A half cup
of bleach is sufficient for most loads. Never use more
than
1 cup
of bleach.
