DISPENSER DRAWER

The dispenser drawer gives you the convenience of automatically
adding HE detergent, liquid chlorine bleach, and liquid fabric
softener to the wash load at the proper time. See "Using the
Dispenser Drawer" for information on using the dispenser drawer.
High Efficiency "HE" detergent compartment
A
This compartment holds liquid or powdered HE detergent for
your main wash cycle.
Liquid fabric softener compartment
B
Automatically dilutes and dispenses liquid fabric softener at
the optimum time in the cycle.
Use only liquid fabric softener in this dispenser.
n
Liquid chlorine bleach compartment
C
Automatically dilutes and dispenses liquid chlorine bleach at
the optimum time during the first rinse after the wash cycle.
This compartment cannot dilute powdered bleach.
Choosing the Right Detergent
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 are low-sudsing and quick-dispersing to
produce the right amount of suds for the best performance. They
hold soil in suspension so it is not re-deposited onto clean clothes.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions to determine the amount of
detergent to use.
Use only High Efficiency (HE) detergent.
