Bulk Detergent Tank
The bulk detergent tank holds over a gallon (140
ounces or 4100 ml) of liquid bulk detergent. After
filling the tank, press the Detergent Tank On button
to turn on its light and designate bulk (rather than
manual) detergent dispense.
The Tank Levels lights (1-5) indicate how much
detergent is left. An empty tank is shown by a single
red light. A full (or nearly full) tank is shown by 5
lights.
NOTE: If you press Start when the tank is empty, the
Detergent Tank On and the red light will blink.
A beep will also sound if Variable Signal is on.
Set the Bulk Detergent Cup Amount Preference
When the Detergent Tank On light is on, pressing the Detergent Cup Amount button will set the Detergent
Cup Amount lights (1, 2, or 3).
Level 1 will distribute the standard amount minus 25%.
Level 2 will distribute the standard amount.
Level 3 will distribute the standard amount plus 25%.
Examples:

If Detergent Cup Amount shows 2 lights then 1.5 oz (44 ml) will be dispensed.

then manually change the Detergent Cup Amount, but your change will not be saved when you leave

Single Wash Detergent Dispenser
If you prefer to manually add either powder or liquid
detergent to the next wash cycle, pour it in the left
front opening and make sure the Tank On light is
off (press button if light is on). Most detergent will
immediately enter the tub. The washer will flush
water through this opening just prior to the fill cycle
to add any detergent that did not fall into the tub.
The Detergent Cup Amount lights indicate if a Low,
Medium, or High amount will be dispensed.
See the Bulk Tank Special Functions Option 1: Set
Concentration Settings on page 10 to understand
how the Low, Medium, and High amounts are
established.
Detergent will be automatically dispensed at the
optimum time at the beginning of each fill cycle.
