Using The Dispenser - Whirlpool duet Front-Load Washer Use And Care Manual

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 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 an HE detergent is unavailable, use
½ the recommended amount of regular detergent.
Most detergents formulated for hand-washing are not meant for
front-loading washers and may cause oversudsing. Start with ¼
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 completely.
