Getting started
Liquid Bleach
( PTW905 and PTW900 models only )
Use a measuring cup to pour the bleach into the bleach
dispenser. Measure liquid bleach carefully and DO NOT pour
directly from the bleach bottle into the bleach dispenser.
NOTE: The bleach dispenser is a single use dispenser and is
NOT a bulk dispense system. The maximum amount of bleach
that should be poured into this dispenser for any load should
never exceed 1 cup.
NOTE: In the event that excessive chlorine bleach is
accidentally spilled or otherwise gets into the detergent tank,
please follow the Detergent Tank Clean-Out instructions in the
Care and Cleaning section in order to minimize the possibility
for clothing damage. If only a few drops of bleach are spilled
into the detergent tank, there is no need to flush the tank.
Flex Dispense Drawer
Use this Flex Dispense Drawer for softener/conditioner, pre-wash detergent, detergent packets (laundry packs) and main detergent.
Liquid fabric softener/conditioner should be added to the far
left washer drawer compartment. Follow the liquid fabric softener/
conditioner manufacturer’s recommendations for the correct amount
of softener/conditioner, based on the load size. Do not overfill
or dilute softener/conditioner as this can result in additive being
dispensed prematurely in the wash cycle. Your option selections will
determine when liquid fabric softener/conditioner is automatically
dispensed at its optimal time in the rinse cycle.
NOTE: Fabric softener crystals should
NOT be added to the dispenser drawer,
as they will not dispense properly.
Pre-wash detergent should
be added to the middle left
(second from left) Custom Add
compartment. Use with SmartHQ
App. Fill for heavily soiled loads
to loosen and remove heavy soil
before starting the main cycle
selected. Refer to the SmartHQ App
for Flex Dispense capabilities.
Detergent packets (Laundry Packs) should be added to the middle right (third from left) compartment. For best performance,
pods should be placed in the center (left to right) of the compartment and towards the front of the compartment. Avoid pushing the
pod to the rear of the compartment unless using two or more pods. Do not lean pods against the side walls of the pod compartment.
Follow the detergent manufacturer’s recommendations for the correct number of detergent packets for your wash load. Do not add
more detergent packets than recommended as this can result in residual detergent being leftover at the end of the cycle. Your option
selections will determine when detergent is automatically dispensed at its optimal time in the wash cycle.
NOTE: We recommend the use of High Efficiency
may not dispense completely at very cold temperatures or in the delicate cycle. In these cases, you may use a warmer temperature
setting to dispense harder to dissolve detergent packs.
Liquid Bleach Dispenser
(PTW705, PTW700, PTW605 and PTW600 models only)
Liquid chlorine bleach should be added through the
bleach dispenser in the front left corner. Follow bleach
manufacturer’s recommendations for the correct amount of
liquid chlorine bleach based on load size, taking care to not
apply or spill it directly on clothing.
NOTE: Do not use liquid chlorine bleach and laundry
pretreatments such as an Oxi product in the same wash load.

NOTE: In the event that detergent is accidentally spilled or
otherwise gets into the bleach opening, that detergent will
simply be used for the next wash cycle. In this case there is no
need to perform any flushing routine.
HE detergent should be added to the far right
compartment. Follow the detergent manufacturer’s
recommendations for the correct amount of detergent,
based on load size, taking care to add detergent to the right
compartment. Do not overfill or dilute detergent as this can
result in additive being dispensed prematurely in the wash
cycle. Your option selections will determine when detergent is
automatically dispensed at its optimal time in the wash cycle.
laundry packs such as Tide PODS™ or Gain Flings™. Some detergent packs
For optimal performance, especially
when selecting cooler temperature
and in cold weather climates, place
powdered HE detergent directly on top
of the load.
NOTE: Single-dose laundry packets
should not be added to the detergent
dispenser, as they will not dispense
properly. Put packets in the Laundry
Pack Dispenser Cup.
