The Dispenser Drawer
Slowly open the dispenser drawer by
first sliding the safety latch to the
right, then pulling the drawer out until
it stops.
After adding laundry products, slowly close
the dispenser drawer. Closing the drawer too
quickly could result in early dispensing of the
bleach and fabric softener.
You may see water in the bleach and fabric
softener compartments. This is a result of the
siphoning action and is part of the normal
operation of the washer.
The Detergent Compartment
Add measured detergent to the
detergent compartment of the
dispenser drawer.
Detergent is flushed from the
dispenser at the beginning of the
cycle. Either powdered or liquid
detergent can be used.
NOTE: Liquid detergent will drain into the
washer drum as it is added.
The Liquid Bleach Compartment
If desired, measure out the
recommended amount of liquid bleach,
not to exceed 1/3 cup (80 ml) and pour
into the center compartment labeled
"LIQUID BLEACH" marked with this
symbol .
The Fabric Softener Compartment
If desired, pour the recommended
amount of fabric softener into the
compartment labeled "FABRIC
SOFTENER" and marked with this
symbol .
If the dispenser drawer is pulled out
more than 1 1/2" when the washer is
in operation, the washer will shut off.
The DOOR LOCK indicator light will
turn off and the door will be unlocked.
Slowly close the drawer, and the
washer will automatically
resume operation.
Low sudsing detergent is
recommended for this washer.
Use the manufacturer's
recommended amount.
Detergent usage may need to be
adjusted for water temperature,
water hardness, size and soil level
of the load. For best results, avoid
oversudsing.
