Using Laundry Product Dispensers; Select Cycle - Kenmore 26112 Series Use & Care Manual

USING LAUNDRY PRODUCT DISPENSERS

NOTE: Do not add single-dose laundry packets, color-safe
bleach, Oxi-type boosters, or fabric softener crystals to
dispensers. They will not dispense correctly.

Add HE detergent to dispenser
Detergent tray
Add a measured amount of HE detergent
into detergent tray. This tray holds 3 oz.
(89 mL). Do not overfill tray – adding too much detergent may
cause detergent to be dispensed into the washer too early.
IMPORTANT: Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package
will be marked "HE" or "High Efficiency." Low-water washing
creates excessive sudsing with a regular non-HE detergent.
Using regular detergent will likely result in longer cycle times
and reduced rinsing performance. It may also result in component
failures and noticeable mold or mildew. HE detergents are made
to produce the right amount of suds for the best performance.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions to determine the amount
of detergent to use.
HELPFUL TIP: See "Washer Maintenance" for information
on recommended method of cleaning washer dispenser trays.
5.
Add liquid chlorine bleach to dispenser
Liquid
Chlorine Bleach
Do not overfill, dilute, or use more than 1 cup (250 mL). Do not
use color-safe bleach or Oxi products in the same cycle with
liquid chlorine bleach.
6.
Add fabric softener to dispenser
Fabric softener tray
Pour a measured amount of liquid fabric
softener into tray; always follow manufacturer's directions
for correct amount of fabric softener based on your load size.
Close dispenser drawer, then select Fabric Softener option.
IMPORTANT: Fabric Softener option must be selected to ensure
proper distribution at correct time in cycle. Do not overfill or
dilute. Overfilling dispenser will cause fabric softener to
immediately dispense into washer.
If Two Rinses option is selected, fabric softener will be dispensed
into the last rinse.
It is normal for a small amount of water to remain in the
dispenser at the end of a cycle.
