Using Laundry Product Dispensers - Whirlpool  WTW5500XW Use And Care Manual

3.
Load laundry into washer
Load garments in loose heaps evenly
around the washplate. Do not load
garments directly over the center
of the washplate; when loaded, the
center of the washplate should be
visible. Try mixing different sized
garments to reduce tangling.
IMPORTANT: Garments need to move freely for best cleaning
and to reduce wrinkling and tangling.

Using Laundry Product Dispensers

NOTE: Do not add single-dose laundry packets, color-safe
bleach, Oxi-type boosters, or fabric softener crystals to
dispensers. They will not dispense correctly.
4.
Add HE detergent to dispenser
Detergent tray
Add a measured amount of HE detergent
into detergent tray. This tray holds 3 oz.
(89 mL). Do not overfill tray – adding too much detergent may
cause detergent to be dispensed into the washer too early.
IMPORTANT: Use only High Efficiency detergents. The
package will be marked "HE" or "High Efficiency." Low-water
washing creates excessive sudsing with a regular non-HE
detergent. Using regular detergent will likely result in 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.
HELPFUL TIP: See "Washer Maintenance" for information
on recommended method of cleaning washer dispenser trays.

Chlorine Bleach
Bleach
Do not overfill, dilute, or use more than 1 cup (250 mL).
Do not use color-safe bleach or Oxi products in the same
cycle with liquid chlorine bleach.
6.
Add fabric softener to dispenser,
if desired
Fabric softener tray
Pour a measured amount of liquid fabric softener
into tray, always follow manufacturer's directions
for correct amount of fabric softener based on your load size.
Close dispenser drawer, then select Fabric Softener option.
IMPORTANT: Fabric Softener option must be selected to
ensure proper distribution at correct time in cycle. Do not
overfill or dilute. Overfilling dispenser will cause fabric softener
to immediately dispense into washer.
If Extra Rinse option is selected, fabric softener will be
dispensed into the last rinse.
It is normal for a small amount of water to remain in the
dispenser at the end of a cycle.
