Pre-wash Detergent Compartment
Add liquid or powdered detergent to this
compartment when using the pre-wash option.
• When using the pre-wash option, liquid
detergent for the main wash needs to be loaded
in the liquid detergent cup accessory in the main
wash dispenser (where applicable), to prevent it
from being dispensed with the pre-wash
detergent.
• The amount of detergent added for the pre-
wash option is 1/2 the amount recommended
for the main wash cycle. For example, if the main
wash cycle requires one measure of detergent,
add 1/2 measure for the pre-wash option.
Main Wash Detergent Compartment
This compartment holds clothes detergent for the
main wash cycle. Either powdered or liquid
detergent may be used in this compartment.
• Make sure a liquid detergent cup is in place
when using liquid detergent.
• Make sure to remove a liquid detergent cup
when using powdered detergent. Powdered
detergent will not dispense with the liquid
detergent cup and insert in place.
NOTE
• The detergent is added to the load at the
beginning of the cycle.
• Liquid or powdered colour-safe bleach may be
added to the main wash compartment with
detergent of the same type. Do not mix liquids
and powders.
• If you use a detergent that does not dissolve
easily or a detergent with high viscosity, it will
leave a residue and clog the dispenser.
Fabric Softener Compartment
This compartment holds liquid fabric softener,
which is automatically dispensed during the final
rinse cycle. Either powdered or liquid fabric
softener may be used.
• Pour fabric softer to the maximum fill line.
Pouring excessive fabric softener over the
maximum fill line can cause it to dispense too
early, which may stain the clothes.
NOTE
• Do not pour fabric softener directly onto the
clothes in the wash drum, doing so will cause
dark staining on the clothes that will be difficult
to remove.
• Do not leave the fabric softener in the detergent
drawer for more than 1 day. Fabric softener may
harden. Softener may remain in the dispenser if
it is too thick. The softener should be diluted if
the consistency is too thick so that it can flow
easily.
• Do not open the drawer when water is being
supplied during the wash.
• Solvents (benzene, etc.) must never be used.
Liquid Bleach Compartment
This compartment holds liquid bleach, which is
dispensed automatically at the proper time during
the wash cycle. The dispenser is activated twice to
ensure complete dispensing of the bleach. Any
liquid remaining in the dispenser at the end of the
cycle is water, not bleach.
WARNING
• Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or
acids such as vinegar or rust/scale remover.
Mixing chemicals like these can produce a lethal
gas, resulting in severe injury or death.
NOTE
• Do not add powdered bleach to this
compartment. The bleach compartment is
designed to dispense liquid chlorine bleach only.
Powdered or liquid colour-safe bleach will not
dispense properly.
• Follow the manufacturer's recommendations
when adding bleach. Never add more than one
cup, and do not exceed the maximum fill line or
the bleach may be dispensed immediately and
damage fabrics. Using too much bleach can also
damage fabrics.
• Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach
directly onto the load or into the drum. Fabric
damage can occur.
