Using The Dispenser - Whirlpool FRONT-LOADINGAUTOMATIC WASHER Use & Care Manual

6. To begin the wash cycle immediately
Select and hold START (for approximately 3 seconds).
If you do not select START within 5 minutes of choosing a
cycle, the washer display automatically shuts off.
When the wash cycle is complete, the CYCLE
COMPLETE status light illuminates, the door unlocks and
the wash load can be removed from the washer. The
washer goes into standby mode automatically after the
door is opened or 1 hour after the cycle is complete and
all displays will go off.
To power down the washer manually after the wash cycle
is complete, switch knob to Off position.
7. To begin the wash cycle later
Select DELAY WASH until the desired delay time (in hours) is
displayed. Select START. The countdown to the wash cycle
will show in the display window.
IMPORTANT: When delaying a cycle, use only powdered
detergents in the main wash compartment since liquid
detergents may seep out of the compartment during Delay
before the wash cycle begins.

Using the Dispenser

Your new washer has a dispenser drawer with three separate
compartments for your laundry products—one is for detergent,
one is for liquid chlorine bleach, and one is for liquid fabric
softener. Laundry products are diluted and dispensed
automatically at the proper time during the wash cycle, making it
unnecessary for you to return to the washer during the cycle to
add them.
It is normal for small amounts of water to remain in the
dispensers when the wash cycle is complete.
Do not put laundry products directly into the wash tub. Always
use the proper dispensers when adding laundry products.
Choosing the Right Detergent
Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package for this type of
detergent will be marked "HE" or "High Efficiency." This wash
system, along with less water, will create too much sudsing with a
regular non-HE detergent. Using regular detergent will likely result in
washer errors, longer cycle times, and reduced rinsing performance.
It may also result in component failures and noticeable mold or
mildew. HE detergents are made to produce the right amount of
suds for the best performance. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions to determine the amount of detergent to use.
Use only HE High Efficiency detergent.
To fill dispenser compartments
1. Pull out the dispenser drawer.
2. Add the desired laundry products to the proper compartment.
3. Push in the dispenser drawer slowly and completely (to avoid
a spill).

your main wash cycle.
Powdered color-safe bleach may be added to the Main Wash

automatically diluted and dispensed at the best time during the
first rinse after the wash cycle. This compartment cannot dilute
powdered bleach.
Use only liquid chlorine bleach in this dispenser. Do not use
this dispenser to add powdered chlorine or any form of color-
safe bleach to your load.
Always measure liquid chlorine bleach. Use a measuring cup
with a pour spout; do not guess. Follow the manufacturer's
directions for proper use.
Do not fill beyond the "MAX" level during normal use.
NOTE: Overfilling could cause garment damage.
