Adding Detergent
Insert
NOTE: Use only low-sudsing,
high-efficiency detergent such as
Tide
®
HE.
Add measured detergent to the detergent
compartment of the dispenser drawer.
• Do not exceed the maximum fill line.
Detergent is flushed through the
dispenser at the beginning of the wash
phase. Either powdered or liquid detergent
can be used.
Adding Fabric Softener
If desired, pour the recommended
amount of liquid fabric softener into the
left-hand compartment. Use only liquid
fabric softener.
Dilute with water to the maximum fill line.
• Do not exceed the maximum fill line.
Overfilling can cause early dispensing
of the fabric softener, which could stain
clothes.
NOTE: Do not pour fabric softener directly
on the wash load. It may stain the clothes.
Adding Pretreat Additives
The Pretreat dispenser may be used to
clean heavily soiled or stained garments
more efficiently.
Place the additives for the Wash Boost
setting in the right-hand compartment.
Select an Extra Rinse to make sure all
remaining detergent is removed from
the wash load.
When using liquid detergent, make sure
the detergent box and insert are in place.
For powdered detergent, remove both
the detergent box and insert. Powdered
detergent will not dispense with the
detergent box and insert in place.
Detergent usage may need to be adjusted
for water temperature, water hardness,
size and soil level of the load. Avoid using
too much detergent in your washer, as it
can lead to oversudsing and detergent
residue being left on the clothes.
You may add low-sudsing, high-efficiency
liquid detergent to this compartment
when selecting a Stain Inspector cycle
or when choosing a Presoak requiring
special additives.
• Do not exceed the maximum fill line
to avoid oversudsing.
Overfilling can cause early dispensing of
presoak additives, which could result in
damaged clothes.
