Loading the dispenser
The detergent dispenser drawer of the washing machine has a
dispenser compartment for each detergent type. Add the
appropriate detergents into its respective compartments.
1 Pull out the detergent dispenser drawer.
2 Add the appropriate detergent to its allocated compartment.
- If you use a liquid detergent, check if the liquid detergent cup is in
place.
- If you use a powdered detergent, remove the liquid detergent cup
and put the powder in the main wash detergent compartment.
3 Close the detergent dispenser drawer slowly.
- Slamming the detergent dispenser drawer may result in the
detergent overflowing into another compartment or pouring into
the tub earlier than programmed.
Note
• It is normal for a small amount of water to remain in the dispenser compartments at the end of the cycle
Main Wash Detergent Compartment
This compartment holds laundry detergent for the main wash cycle, which is added to the load at the beginning of
the cycle. Always use HE (High-Efficiency) detergent with your washing machine.
Never exceed the manufacturer's recommendations when adding detergent. Using too much detergent can result
in detergent buildup in clothing and the washer. Either powdered or liquid detergent may be used.
Note
• Liquid or powdered color-safe bleach may be added to the main wash compartment with detergent of the
same type.
• 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 insert and liquid detergent cup from the compartment. Powdered
detergent will not dispense with the liquid detergent cup and insert in place.
Fabric Softener Compartment
This compartment holds liquid fabric softener, which will be
automatically dispensed during the final rinse cycle.
Note
• Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations when
adding fabric softener. Do not exceed the maximum fill
line. Using too much fabric softener may result in stained
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
drum.
