Using The Washer - Haier GE GFW510SCN0 Technical Service Manual

Using the Washer

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.
Water may be seen 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.
Use only HE High-Efficiency detergent.
SmartDispense™ (on some models)
When selected, this feature will automatically add
detergent to the wash, eliminating the need to
add detergent for each load.
The detergent amount selection on the control
panel will default to AUTO when first powering up
the washing machine. When AUTO is selected,
the amount of detergent needed for each laundry
load will automatically be determined based on
the size of the load the machine senses.
For AUTO, the washer will dispense
approximately 1.5 oz. of detergent for an 8
pound normal load. For other loads, it will adjust
proportionally based on the size of load and
garment type. If select LESS, the amount of
detergent will be reduced by 40%. This may be
desired for higher concentrate detergents or if
the user has very soft water. For heavily soiled
loads, select MORE to add 40% more detergent
than the AUTO level.
NOTE: Not all cycles will allow the use of
the SmartDispense feature. If the light is
not illuminated and pressing the SMART
DISPENSE pad results in a beeping tone, then
SmartDispense is not allowed for the cycle that
has been selected. Detergent will need to be
added directly to the detergent compartment for
these cycles.
Do NOT put detergent packets in the dispenser
drawer.
NOTE: Use only liquid or powder HE detergents
and additives in the dispenser drawer. Laundry
detergent packets should only be added directly
to the wash basket following the manufacturer's
directions.

Selector
If it is desired to manually select the amount
of detergent for a given load, this can be done
by pressing the SMART DISPENSE pad on the
control panel to select detergent for a Small or
Large load. Small will provide less detergent
than average and Large will provide more
detergent than average.
NOTE: If it is desired to manually add
detergent for a load, that detergent will need
to be added directly to the basket, and the
SMART DISPENSE set to off for that particular
load.
The smart dispense feature can be disabled
by pressing the SMART DISPENSE pad until
off is selected.
