Pre-wash Detergent Compartment
Add liquid or powdered detergent to this
compartment when using the pre-wash option.
NOTE
y If liquid detergent is to be used for the main
wash when using the pre-wash option, the
liquid detergent cup accessory must be used
in main wash dispenser to prevent the main
wash liquid detergent from being dispensed
immediately.
y The amount of detergent added for the pre-
wash option is 1⁄2 the amount recommended
for the main wash cycle. For example, if the
main wash cycle requires one measure of
detergent, add 1⁄2 measure for the pre-wash
option.
Main Wash Detergent Compartment
This compartment holds laundry detergent for the
main wash cycle, which is added to the load at the

in clothing and the washer. Either powdered or
liquid detergent may be used.

detergent of the same type.

the insert and liquid detergent cup from the
compartment. Powdered detergent will not
dispense with the liquid detergent cup and
insert in place.

This compartment holds liquid chlorine bleach,
which will be dispensed automatically at the proper
time during the wash cycle.
NOTE
y Do not add powdered or liquid color-safe
bleach to this compartment.

recommendations when adding bleach. Do not
exceed the maximum fill line. Using too much
bleach can damage fabrics.
