Using Laundry Product Dispensers
NOTE: Do not add liquid laundry detergent, single-dose
laundry packets, color-safe bleach, Oxi-type boosters, or
fabric softener crystals to dispensers. They will not dispense
correctly. Add to the basket prior to adding laundry.
4.
Add powdered HE detergent
IMPORTANT: Use only High Efficiency detergents. The
package will be marked "HE" or "High Efficiency." Low-water
washing creates excessive sudsing with a non-HE detergent.
Using non-HE detergent will likely result in longer cycle times and
reduced rinsing performance. It may also result in component
failure and, over time, buildup of mold or mildew. HE detergents
should be low-sudsing and quick-dispersing to produce the right
amount of suds for the best performance. They should hold soil
in suspension so it is not re-deposited onto clean clothes. Not all
detergents labeled as High Efficiency are identical in formulation
and their ability to reduce suds. For example, natural, organic,
or homemade HE detergents may generate a high level of suds.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions to determine the amount
of detergent to use.
NOTES:
Use only powdered HE detergent in the detergent dispenser.

Add liquid HE detergent or single-dose packets to the

■
recommended method of cleaning washer dispensers.
5.
Add liquid chlorine bleach to dispenser
Bleach will be dispensed automatically during the wash part
of the cycle. Do not overfill, dilute, or use more than 1 cup
(250 mL). Do not use color-safe bleach or Oxi products in
the same cycle with liquid chlorine bleach.
6.
Add liquid fabric softener
Pour a measured amount of liquid fabric softener into
dispenser; always follow manufacturer's directions for correct
amount
of fabric softener based on your load size. Fabric softener
is added during rinse.
IMPORTANT: Do not overfill or dilute. Overfilling dispenser
will cause fabric softener to immediately dispense into washer.
It is normal for a small amount of water to remain in the
dispenser at the end of a cycle.
NOTE: The fabric softener dispenser rotates around the wash
basket and may not be in the same spot each time.
7.
Touch POWER to turn on washer
Close the washer lid. Washer will not fill, agitate, or spin
with the lid open. Make sure the dispenser drawer is closed
completely, then touch POWER to turn on the washer.
8.
Select wash temperature
Set the water temperature for the type of fabric and soils
being washed. Use the warmest wash water safe for fabric.
Follow garment label instructions.
