The Dispenser Drawer
Slowly open the dispenser drawer by pulling
it out until it stops.
After adding laundry products, slowly close
the dispenser drawer. Closing the drawer too
quickly could result in early dispensing of the
bleach, fabric softener or detergent.
The Prewash Compartment
Only use the Prewash Compartment if you
are selecting the Prewash cycle for heavily
soiled clothes. Add measured detergent or
prewash additive to the back left prewash
compartment of the dispenser drawer.
Detergent or prewash additive is flushed
from the dispenser in the prewash cycle
(if selected).
The Detergent Compartment
High-efficiency detergent is required for this
washer. Use the detergent manufacturer's
recommended amount.
The detergent selection insert must be placed in
the detergent compartment in a specific position
according to what type of detergent you are
using.
Powder Detergent – Remove the detergent
selection insert.
Liquid Detergent – You will need to adjust
the insert according to the type of Liquid
Detergent you are using. The Icons on the side
of the detergent compartment must line up on
the center when the insert is in position.
NOTE: Not all models have the 2x and 3x
detergent settings. Some have only regular
HE detergent settings. You must reduce the
amount of detergent for 2x or 3x detergent
per bottle instructions.
SO
You may see water in the bleach and fabric
softener compartments at the end of the cycle.
This is a result of the flushing/siphoning action
and is part of the normal operation of the
washer.
(on some models)
NOTE: Liquid detergent will drain into the
washer drum as it is added.
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
over sudsing and detergent residue being left
on the clothes.
Move the insert by pulling it up and replace
it by sliding it down between either the rear
or front detergent compartment molded rails, as
desired, for liquid detergent. Remove for powder
detergent.
Add measured detergent to the front left
detergent compartment of the dispenser
drawer.
Detergent is flushed from the dispenser
at the beginning of the wash cycle. Either
powdered or liquid detergent can be used.
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.
Using more detergent than the recommended
quantity can cause residue buildup on your
washer.
