PERATING TIPS
Pour liquid chlorine bleach into bleach dis-
penser.
Chlorine bleach dispenser
The dispenser automatically dilutes liquid
chlorine bleach before it reaches your wash
load. To use, follow these steps:
1. Measure liquid chlorine bleach carefully,
following the instructions on the bottle.
2. Add the bleach to the dispenser before
adding the load. Avoid splashing or over-
filling the dispenser. Wipe up spills.
• Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine
bleach directly onto the load or into the
wash tub. It is a powerful chemical and
can cause fabric damage, such as
tearing or color loss, if not used prop-
erly.
• If you prefer to use color-safe, non-
chlorine bleach, pour it into the wash
tub with your detergent. Do not pour
non-chlorine bleaches into the bleach
dispenser.
LIQUID
DISPENSER
Add detergent before the load.
Detergent
• Use either liquid or granular laundry
detergent. For best results, be sure
detergent is added to the washer
BEFORE the load and be sure wash
water is above 65˚ F.
• Use the correct amount of detergent for
the load size, soil level and water condi-
tions. Use more detergent if you have
hard water and very soiled loads.
If you have soft water or a lightly soiled
load, use less detergent. (See manufac-
turer's instructions.)
• Wipe up any detergent spills on the
washer.
Agitator/Dispenser
If it is necessary to clean the dispenser, pull the
liquid dispenser off of the agitator. Then hold
the dispenser with bottom side up and twist to
disengage dispenser bottom from top (see
right). You are then able to clean both parts
using warm water and a brush if necessary.
AGITATOR To reassemble, hold both pieces in an
upright position. Insert the inner chamber
into the outer chamber using the slots to
position parts. Rotate until tabs snap into
locking position.

Liquid dispenser

The dispenser may be used for fabric sof-
tener with most cycles or liquid detergent
with the Pretreat cycle. The liquid dispenser
should be cleaned before and after each
use of liquid detergent. The dispenser auto-
matically releases the liquid at the proper
time during the cycle. To use, follow these
steps:
1. Pour a measured amount of desired liq-
uid into dispenser top to fill line only.
2. If liquid comes below line, add warm
water.
Pretreat cycle
• The Pretreat Cycle offers the ability to
wash the clothes twice with fresh deter-
gent in each wash. When laundry is first
added to the tub to use the pretreat cycle,
granular or liquid detergent is placed in
the tub. In order for there to be fresh
detergent for the second wash, only liquid
detergent may be placed in the liquid dis-
penser. This detergent will be mixed with
clean water for the second wash which is
16 minutes of agitation.
