Gently close the detergent dispenser drawer
before starting the cycle.
• Slamming the drawer closed may result in
the detergent overflowing into another
compartment or dispensing into the drum
earlier than programmed.
• Be careful not to get a hand caught in the
drawer while closing.
• It is normal for a small amount of water to
remain in the dispenser compartments at
the end of the cycle.
CAUTION
• Do not place or store laundry products, such as
detergent, bleach, or liquid fabric softener, on
top of your washer. These products can damage
the washer’s finish and controls.
Main Wash Detergent Compartment
This compartment holds laundry detergent for the
main wash cycle. Either powdered or liquid
detergent may be used in this compartment.
• The detergent is added to the load at the
beginning of the cycle. Always use HE (High-
Efficiency) detergent with your washer.
• Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Using too
much detergent can result in detergent buildup
in clothing and the washer.
• Liquid or powdered color-safe bleach may be
added to the main wash compartment with
detergent of the same type. Do not mix liquids
and powders
• If the dispenser has a liquid detergent cup and
insert:
- Make sure they are in place when using liquid
detergent.
- Make sure to remove them when using
powdered detergent. Powdered detergent will
not dispense with the liquid detergent cup and
insert in place.
• When using powdered detergent, remove the
insert and liquid detergent cup from the
dispenser. Powdered detergent will not dispense
with the liquid detergent cup and insert in place.
• If you use a detergent that does not dissolve
easily or a detergent with high viscosity, it will
leave a residue and clog the dispenser.
Fabric Softener Compartment
This compartment holds fabric softener, which is
automatically dispensed during the final rinse
cycle. Either powdered or liquid fabric softener
may be used.
• Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Using too
much fabric softener may stain clothes or cause
buildup on fabrics or in the washer.
• Dilute concentrated fabric softeners with warm
water.
• Never pour fabric softener directly onto the load
or into the drum.
Pre-wash Detergent Compartment
Add liquid or powdered detergent to this
compartment when using the Pre-wash option.
Always use HE (High-Efficiency) detergent with
your washer.
• When using the
Pre-wash option, liquid
detergent for the main wash needs to be loaded
in the liquid detergent cup accessory in the main
wash dispenser (where applicable), to prevent it
from being dispensed with the pre-wash
detergent.
• The amount of detergent added for the Pre-
wash option is 1/2 the amount recommended
for the main wash cycle. For example, if the main
wash cycle requires one measure of detergent,
add 1/2 measure for the Pre-wash option.
