efficiently and cleaning results are maximized.
• When using regular detergent formulated for top-
loading washers, it is important to pay close
dishwasher use
attention to the soil level of the load, load size, and
water hardness**. To avoid over-sudsing which
causes extended cycle times, reduce the
amount of detergent used with soft water or
with small or lightly soiled clothes.

Automatic Dispenser
The washer has separate compartments for dispensing
detergent and color-safe bleach, chlorine bleach and
fabric softener. All laundry additives are added to their
respective compartments before starting the washer.
The Automatic Dispenser MUST ALWAYS be in
place before starting the washer. DO NOT open
the Automatic Dispenser when the washer is
running.
To use:
1. Pull out the dispenser drawer on the left
side of the control panel.
2. Fill appropriate compartments with laundry
additives, being careful not to overfill or spill
additives.
3. Slide the dispenser drawer carefully and
completely back into the compartment.
Detergent Compartment
1. Pour the recommended amount of
laundry detergent directly into the
detergent compartment before starting
the washer.
2. If color-safe bleach is to be used, it
should be added with detergent to the
detergent compartment.
• When adding color-safe bleach with
detergent, it is best if both laundry products are
in the same form; granular or liquid.
