Using the Dispenser

Your new washer has a dispenser drawer with three separate
compartments for your laundry products—one is 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 products directly into the wash tub. Always
use the proper dispensers when adding laundry products.
Choosing the Right Detergent
Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package for this type of
detergent will be marked "HE" or "High Efficiency." This wash
system, along with less water, will create too much sudsing with a
regular non-HE detergent. Using regular detergent will likely result in
washer errors, longer cycle times, and reduced rinsing performance.
It may also result in component failures and noticeable mold or
mildew. HE detergents are made to produce the right amount of
suds for the best performance. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions to determine the amount of detergent to use.
Use only HE High Efficiency detergent.

Add liquid or powdered HE detergent to this compartment for
your main wash cycle.

Liquid color-safe bleach or oxi products may be added to the
Main Wash compartment along with liquid detergent.
■
Powdered color-safe bleach or oxi products may be added to
the Main Wash compartment along with the powdered
detergent.

NOTE: Overfilling could cause an oversudsing condition.
Chlorine bleach compartment

Add NO MORE THAN 2/3 cup (160 mL) liquid chlorine bleach to
this compartment. The bleach will be automatically diluted and
dispensed at the best time during the first rinse after the wash
cycle. This compartment cannot dilute powdered bleach.
■ Use only liquid chlorine bleach in this dispenser. Do not use
this dispenser to add powdered chlorine or any form of color-
safe bleach or oxi products to your load.
■ Always measure liquid chlorine bleach. Use a measuring cup
with a pour spout; do not guess. Follow the manufacturer's
directions for proper use.
■ Do not fill beyond the "MAX" level.
NOTE: Overfilling could cause garment damage.
Fabric softener compartment
(Letter D in Dispenser Illustration)
