ABOUT THE DISPENSER
Automatic dispenser
Your Washer has separate compartments for dispensing detergent
and color-safe bleach, chlorine bleach, and fabric softener. Add all
laundry additives to their respective compartments before starting
your Washer.
CAUTION:
The automatic dispenser MUST ALWAYS be in place before
starting your Washer.
DO NOT open the automatic dispenser when your washer is
running.
Never exceed the manufacturer's recommendations when
adding detergent.
This compartment holds liquid detergent for the main wash
cycle, which is added to the load at beginning of cycle.
NOTE: When using powdered detergent, remove the liquid
detergent compartment from the detergent drawer. Powdered
detergent will not be dispensed from the Liquid detergent
compartment.

Efficiency) detergent directly into the detergent compartment
before starting your Washer.
2. If color-safe bleach is to be used, it should be added with
