MAIN WASH DETERGENT COMPARTMENT
This compartment holds laundry detergent for the
main wash cycle. The detergent is added to the load
at the beginning of the cycle. Always use High-Effi-
ciency (HE) detergent with your washing machine.
Either powdered or liquid detergent may be used.
Never exceed the manufacturer's recommenda-
tions when adding detergent. Using too much deter-
gent can result in detergent buildup in clothing and
the washer.
When using liquid detergent, make sure the liquid
detergent cup and insert are in place. Do not exceed
the maximum fill line.
When using powdered detergent, remove the liquid
detergent cup from the compartment. Powdered
detergent will not dispense with the liquid detergent
cup in place.
FABRIC SOFTENER COMPARTMENT
This compartment holds liquid fabric softener,
which is automatically dispensed during the final
rinse cycle.
Never exceed the manufacturer's recommendations
when adding softener. Using too much fabric soft-
ener can result in buildup in clothing and the washer.
Either powdered or liquid fabric softener may be
used.
• Always follow the manufacturer's recommenda-
tions when adding fabric softener. Do not exceed
the maximum fill line. Using too much fabric soft-
ener may stain clothes.
• Dilute concentrated fabric softeners with warm
water. Do not exceed the maximum fill line.
• Never pour fabric softener directly onto the load
or into the tub.
Liquid Bleach
LIQUID BLEACH COMPARTMENT
The bleach dispenser is a separate compartment
at the left front of the tub opening. This compart-
ment holds liquid bleach, which is dispensed auto-
matically at the proper time during the wash cycle.
The dispenser is activated twice to ensure complete
dispensing of the bleach. Any liquid remaining in
the dispenser at the end of the cycle is water, not
bleach.
Do not add powdered bleach to this compartment.
The bleach compartment is designed to dispense
liquid bleach only. Powdered or liquid color-safe
bleach will not dispense properly.
Always follow the manufacturer's recommenda-
tions when adding bleach. Never add more than
one cup and do not exceed the maximum fill line
since this can cause the bleach to be dispensed
immediately, resulting in damage to fabrics. Using
too much bleach can damage fabrics.
Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach di-
rectly onto the load or into the tub. Fabric damage
can occur.
Do not use color-safe bleach or Oxi products in
the same cycle with liquid chlorine bleach.
,-_\DANGER
Do NOT mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or ac-
ids, such as vinegar or rust/scab remover. Mix-
ing chemicals like these can produce a lethal gas,
resu t ng n severe n ury or death. !
DETERGENT AND DISPENSER USE
A WORD ABOUT DETERGENTS
High-Efficiency (H E) detergents produce fewer suds,
dissolve more efficiently to improve washing and
rinsing performance, and help to keep the interior of
yourwasher clean. Using detergent that is not H E may
cause oversudsing and unsatisfactory performance
which could result in error codes, cycle failure, and
machine damage.
