5. Add detergent, bleach and fabric softener to automatic dispenser following these steps:
A. OPENING AND CLOSING THE DISPENSER DRAWER
• Slowly open the dispenser drawer by first sliding the safety
latch to the right, then pulling the drawer out until it stops.
• After adding laundry products, slowly close the dispenser
drawer. Closing the drawer too quickly could result in early
dispensing of the bleach and fabric softener.
• Dispenser drawer should be completely closed for powdered
detergent, bleach and fabric softener to despense.
• Laundry products used with powder or liquid detergent, such
as color-safe bleach, water conditioner, detergent booster,
and enzyme products should be added to the empty tub
before loading.
Note: From time to time you may see water in the bleach
and fabric softener compartments. This is a result of the
siphoning action and is part of the normal operation of the
washer.
C. LIQUID BLEACH
• If desired, measure out the recommended amount of liquid
chlorine bleach (not to exceed 1/3 cup (80 mL)) and pour it
into the center compartment labeled "Liquid Bleach" and
marked with this symbol
• Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Overfilling can cause
early dispensing of the bleach which could result in damaged
clothes.
• Do not pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto the
load or into the drum. Fabric damage can occur.
• Do not use powdered bleach in the dispenser.
.
B. DETERGENT
• Add measured detergent to the detergent compartment of
the dispenser drawer.
• Detergent is flushed from the dispenser at the beginning of
the cycle. Either powdered or liquid detergent can be used.
Note: Liquid detergent will drain into the washer drum as it
is added.
• Low sudsing detergent is recommended for this washer. Use
the manufacturer's recommended amount.
• If low sudsing detergent is not available, a reduced amount
of regular detergent may be used. Because reducing the
amount of detergent may reduce cleaning, it is important to
pretreat stains, sort carefully by color and soil level, and avoid
overloading.
• Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for water
temperature, water hardness, size and soil level of the load.
• For best results, avoid oversudsing.
D. FABRIC SOFTENER
• If desired, pour the recommended amount of fabric softener
into the compartment labeled "Fabric Softener" and marked
with this symbol
• Dilute concentrated softeners with warm water to the Fill
Line.
• Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Overfilling can cause
early dispensing of the fabric softener which could result in
stained clothes.
• Do not pour fabric softener directly on the wash load.
• Use of a fabric softener dispensing ball is not recommended
in tumble action washers.
