LOADING THE DISPENSER

Using the Liquid Bleach Dispenser
The bleach dispenser
automatically dilutes
and dispenses liquid
chlorine bleach at the
proper time in the
wash cycle.
Check clothing care labels for special
1
instructions.
Measure liquid bleach carefully, following
2
instructions on the bottle.
• Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach
directly onto clothes or into the wash basket.
• Do not pour powdered bleach into bleach
dispenser. Do not place load items on top
of the bleach dispenser when loading and
unloading the washer.
• Avoid overfilling or splashing when adding
bleach to the dispenser. The maximum
capacity of the bleach dispenser is one cup of
bleach per wash cycle. Overfilling could result
in premature dispensing of bleach.
3 Before starting the washer, pour a pre-
measured amount of bleach directly into
bleach dispenser. If you prefer to use
powdered bleach, add it into the wash basket
directly before adding clothes.
NOTE: Please flush the bleach dispenser with
water after bleach use and then rinse out the
residue by use of Rinse & Spin cycle.
wWARNING:
bleach with ammonia or acids, such as vinegar or
rust / scale remover.
Mixing chemicals like these can produce gas
which may cause death.
Put the manufacturer's recommended amount of
undiluted liquid chlorine bleach into the bleach
dispenser. During the final portion of the wash
cycle, two sequential flushes of the dispenser put
all the bleach into the wash load and completely
flush the dispenser to eliminate the carryover of
bleach to a subsequent load. Any liquid remaining
in the bleach dispenser at the end of the cycle is
water, not bleach.
To prevent unintentional self-siphoning of the
bleach, never fill the dispenser higher than the
maximum fill level marked on the dispenser.
When adding bleach to the dispenser, be careful
to avoid spilling it into the laundry load or leaving
droplets of bleach around the dispenser. These
18
things will damage your laundry items.
Do NOT mix chlorine
