20 OPERATION
IMPORTANT:
• Do not place or store laundry products, such as
detergent, bleach, or liquid fabric softener, on
top of your washer or dryer. Wipe up any spills
immediately. These products can damage the
machine's finish and controls.
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, 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.
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.
NOTE
• Never exceed the manufacturer's recommendations
when adding detergent. 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.
• When using liquid detergent, make sure the liquid
detergent cup and insert are in place. Do not
exceed the maximum fill line.
• When using powdered detergent, remove the insert
and liquid detergent cup from the compartment.
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 may clog on the dispenser.
Liquid Bleach Compartment
This compartment holds liquid bleach, which is
dispensed automatically at the proper time during
the wash cycle. The dispenser is activated twice to
ensure complete dispensing of the bleach. Any liquid
remaining in the dispenser at the end of the cycle is
water, not bleach.
• Do not add powdered bleach to this compartment.
The bleach compartment is designed to dispense
liquid chlorine bleach only. Powdered or liquid color-
safe bleach will not dispense properly.
• Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations
when adding bleach. Never add more than one cup
and do not exceed the maximum fill line since this
can cause the bleach to be dispensed immediately,
resulting in damage to fabrics. Using too much
bleach can damage fabrics.
• Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly
onto the load or into the drum. Fabric damage can
occur.
• Do not use color-safe bleach or Oxi products in the
same cycle with liquid chlorine bleach.
WARNING
• Do NOT mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or
acids such as vinegar or rust/scale remover.
Mixing chemicals like these can produce a lethal
gas, resulting in severe injury or death.
