Your new washer has a dispenser drawer with four separate
compartments for your laundry products--two are for detergent,
one is for liquid chlorine bleach, and one is for liquid fabric
softener. Laundry products are diluted and dispensed
automatically at the proper time during the wash cycle, making it
unnecessary for you to return to the washer during the cycle to
add them.
It is normal for small amounts of water to remain in the
dispensers when the wash cycle is complete.
Do not put laundry additives directly into the wash tub. Always
use the proper dispensers when adding laundry products.
Choosing the Right Detergent
For best washing performance, use a High Efficiency (HE), or
low-sudsing, detergent. Regular detergents may cause
oversudsing in the washer. If a High Efficiency detergent is
unavailable, use _/2 the recommended amount of regular
detergent. Use of Regular detergent will lead to unsatisfactory
performance over time.
Most detergents formulated for hand-washing are not meant for
front-loading washers and may cause oversudsing. Start with V4
the recommended amount. If oversudsing occurs, try a detergent
formulated for high efficiency washers.
To fill dispenser compartments
1. Pull out the dispenser drawer.
2. Add the desired laundry product to the proper compartment.
3. Push in the dispenser drawer carefully and completely (to
avoid spillage).

Prewash detergent compartment
(Number I in Dispenser Illustration)
Add detergent to this compartment when using the Prewash
option or Auto Soak. Liquid or powdered detergent may be used
in this compartment. The detergent will automatically be
dispensed during Prewash if the Prewash option is selected or
during the soak time if Auto Soak is selected.
• If you use High Efficiency (HE) detergent, add _/3the
recommended amount to the Prewash compartment and 2/3
the recommended amount to the Main Wash compartment.
• If you use regular detergent, add % of the recommended
amount to the prewash compartment and Y3 of the
recommended amount to the Main Wash compartment.
