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 (see
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 illustration). Both
housing and cup can be soaked in hot soapy water and
rinsed clean. The funnel shape in top of 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.
Agitator Cap
IMPORTANT: If your washer comes with an
agitator cap, the cap must be on at all times.
