Bleach Dispenser
The bleach dispenser is located in
the left front corner, under the
loading door.
Use liquid bleach in the
dispenser.
Use no more than one cup
chlorine bleach for large loads,
three-quarters cup for medium
and one-half cup for small loads.
Carefully pour recommended
amount of bleach into the
dispenser during the first fill of the
washer.
Be careful not to spill undiluted
bleach. It is a strong chemical and
can damage some fabrics if it is
not properly diluted.
Agitator Cap
IMPORTANT: The agitator must
have either the cap or Fabric
Softener Dispenser on it at all
times.

Dispenser and
Agitator
To Use Dispenser
After the clothes are loaded into
the washtub and before the start
of the WASH CYCLE, pour the
proper amount of liquid fabric
softener into the bottle measuring
cap (see bottle directions). Pour
into dispenser. Do not exceed tip
of arrow which indicates correct
fill level. Over-filling can allow
fabric softener to spill onto the
clothes.
The large fabric softener
dispenser allows for the fabric
softener to be diluted with water.
We recommend adding water up
to the fill level.
Do not exceed tip of arrow which
indicates correct fill level. Over-
filling can allow fabric softener to
spill onto the clothes.
Setting the water level to medium
or higher will result in better
performance from the fabric
softener. The fabric softener will
remain in the dispenser during the
wash fill, agitation and spin. At the
end of the wash spin, the liquid
fabric softener will be dispensed
into the washtub through the slots
in the agitator and will be mixed
with the incoming rinse water.
To Clean The Dispenser
Remove the dispenser housing
from agitator by squeezing the
lower part of dispenser, pulling
directly upward and at the same
time tilting slightly. This will
expose the dispenser cup, which
is also removable for cleaning
(refer to illustration). Both housing
and cup can be soaked in hot
soapy water and rinsed clean.
The funnel shape in top of agitator
also needs to be cleaned. The
hole and the slots in the two rings
will require using a small brush for
proper cleaning.
After cleaning, install dispenser
cup, then push dispenser housing
directly downward onto top of
agitator until firmly snapped
together.
