ABOUT THE DISPENSERS

The automatic dispenser consists of two compartments
which hold:
• Liquid fabric softener.
• Liquid or powdered detergent for main wash.
Dispenser Drawer
Main Wash Detergent Compartment
This compartment holds laundry detergent for the main
wash cycle. The detergent is added to the load at the
beginning of the cycle. Always use High-Efficiency (HE)
detergent with your washing machine. Either powdered
or liquid detergent may be used.
Never exceed the manufacturer's recommendations
when adding detergent. Using too much detergent can
result in detergent buildup in clothing and the washer.
When using liquid detergent, make sure the liquid
detergent cup and insert are in place. Do not exceed
the maximum fill line.
When using powdered detergent, remove the liquid
detergent cup from the compartment. Powdered
detergent will not dispense with the liquid detergent cup
in place.

Fabric Softener Compartment

This compartment holds liquid fabric softener, which is
automatically dispensed during the final rinse cycle.
Never exceed the manufacturer's recommendations when
adding softener. Using too much fabric softener can result
in buildup in clothing and the washer.
• Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations when
adding fabric softener. Do not exceed the maximum fill line.
Using too much fabric softener may stain clothes.
• Dilute concentrated fabric softeners with warm water. Do
not exceed the maximum fill line.
• Never pour fabric softener directly onto the load or into the
tub.

Liquid Bleach Compartment

The bleach dispenser is a separate compartment at the
left front of the tub opening. This compartment holds
liquid bleach, which is dispensed automatically at the
proper time during the wash cycle. Any liquid remaining
in the dispenser at the end of the cycle is water, not
bleach.
• Do not add powdered bleach to this compartment. The
bleach compartment is designed to dispense liquid bleach
only. Powdered or liquid color-safe bleach will not dispense
properly.
• Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations when
adding bleach. Never add more than one cup and do not
exceed the maximum fill line since this can cause the bleach to
be dispensed immediately, resulting in damage to fabrics. Using
too much bleach can damage fabrics.
• Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto
the load or into the tub. Fabric damage can occur.
• Do not use color-safe bleach or Oxi products in the same cycle
with liquid chlorine bleach.
Do NOT mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or
acids, such as vinegar or rust/scale remover.
Mixing chemicals like these can produce a lethal
gas, resulting in severe injury or death.
