Special Features

Liquid Bleach Dispenser
(select models)
The dispenser automatically dilutes liquid chlorine
bleach before it reaches your wash load. To use, follow
these steps:
1. Measure liquid chlorine bleach carefully, following
the instructions on the bottle.
2. Add the bleach to the dispenser before adding the
load. Avoid splashing or over-filling the dispenser.
Note
• Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach
directly onto the load or into the wash tub. It is a
powerful chemical and can cause fabric damage,
such as tearing or color loss, if not used properly.
• If you prefer to use color-safe, non-chlorine
bleach, pour it into the wash tub with your
detergent. Do not pour non-chlorine bleaches into
the bleach dispenser.
Pour liquid chlorine bleach into
bleach dispenser.
Fabric Softener Dispenser
(select models)
The dispenser automatically releases the liquid fabric
softener at the proper time during the cycle. To use,
follow these steps:
1. Pour a measured amount of fabric softener into
dispenser top to fill line only.
2. If fabric softener comes below line, add warm
water.
Fabric Softener Dispenser
If it is necessary to clean the dispenser:
1. Pull the dispenser off of the top of the agitator.
2. Soak for one hour in sink or container in hot
water and dishwashing liquid.
3. Hold hands over top and bottom of dispenser and
shake to loosen buildup.
4. Rinse with clean, hot water.
5. Repeat process if necessary.
6. Replace dispenser on agitator.
Do not use dishwashing liquid
inside the washer. Oversudsing
can occur.
Automatic Lint Filtering System
The Lint Filtering System does not require cleaning.
Wash and rinse water is filtered and re-filtered
continuously to trap lint shed by most fabrics during
the agitation cycle before it can be re-deposited on the
wash load. The engineered hole design on the wash
basket in conjunction with water flow produced by the
agitator, traps lint away from the clothes between the
inner wash basket and the outer tub. Lint is automatically
flushed from the washer during the spin cycle.
