Operating Your Washer, continued

   

NOTE

From time to time you may see water in the 

Main Wash - liquid only

” chamber. This is part 

of the normal operation of the washer.

Use a low-sudsing, high effi  ciency 
detergent to prevent oversudsing in 
front load washers. Look for this 
symbol on the detergent label:  

For best results

If using pod-type detergent packs, 
add them directly to empty drum.

For best results

5  Add laundry products to the dispenser.

   

IMPORTANT

Open and close the dispenser drawer slowly. 
Closing the drawer too quickly could result in 
early dispensing of the bleach or fabric softener.

   

IMPORTANT

Save the liquid cup insert for future use. DO NOT 
discard it while you are using powder detergent.

Use the cap or scoop provided by the deter-
gent manufacturer to measure the amount 
recommended. Detergent dosage may need 
to be adjusted for water temperature, water 
hardness, load size and soil level.

Liquid Detergent

effi  ciency liquid detergent to the 

Main Wash 

- Liquid Only

 cup.

 

Do not exceed the 

MAX

 fi ll line.

 

Liquid detergent can also be added directly 
to the 

Main Wash

 chamber when not using 

the 

stain

 option (

StainTreat

StainTreat

II

, or 

StainSoak

).

Powder Detergent  

 

To use a high effi  ciency powder detergent, 
remove the 

Main Wash - Liquid Only

 cup 

and add the powder directly to the 

Main 

Wash

 detergent chamber.

Detergent, stain additives, liquid chlorine 
bleach and liquid fabric softener will be dis-
pensed at the proper times in the cycle.
