• 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 bleach or fabric
softener.

bleach and fabric softener compartments. This is a
result of the siphoning action and is part of the normal
operation of the washer.
B. DETERGENT
• 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.
• Add a low-sudsing, high-efficiency detergent made for
front-loading washers to the dispenser chamber. Look
for this symbol
Use the cap or scoop provided by the detergent
manufacturer to measure the amount recommended.
• Color-safe bleach, water conditioner, detergent booster
and enzyme products may be added to the detergent
compartment. Avoid mixing liquids and powders.
