Special Features

1. Liquid Bleach Dispenser
The dispenser automatically dilutes liquid chlorine
bleach before it reaches your wash load. To use, follow
these steps:
Pour liquid chlorine bleach into
bleach dispenser.
1.Measure liquid chlorine bleach carefully, following
the instructions on the bottle.
2.Add the bleach to the dispenser before adding the
load. Avoid splashing or over-filling the dispenser.
NOTE:
• Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly
onto the load or into the wash tub. It is a powerful
chemical and can cause fabric damage, such as tear-
ing or color loss, if not used properly.
• If you prefer to use color-safe, non-chlorine bleach,
pour it into the wash tub with your detergent. Do not
pour non-chlorine, color-safe bleaches into the bleach
dispenser.
2. Liquid Dispenser
The dispenser may be used for fabric softener with
most cycles or liquid detergent with the Pretreat cycle.
The liquid dispenser should be cleaned before and after
each use of liquid detergent. The dispenser automati-
cally releases the liquid at the proper time during the
cycle. To use, follow these steps:
1. Pour a measured amount of desired liquid into dis-
penser top to fill line only.

2. If liquid comes below
line, add warm water.
If it is necessary to clean
the dispenser, pull the liq-
uid dispenser off of the
agitator. Then hold the dis-
penser with bottom side
up and twist to disengage
dispenser bottom from top
(see below). You are then
able to clean both parts
using warm water and a
brush if necessary.
To reassemble, hold both pieces in an upright position.
Insert the inner chamber into the outer chamber using
the slots to position parts. Rotate until tabs snap into
locking position.
3. Pretreat Cycle
The Pretreat Cycle offers the ability to wash the clothes
twice with fresh detergent in each wash. When laundry
is first added to the tub to use the pretreat cycle, gran-
ular or liquid detergent is placed in the tub. In order for
there to be fresh detergent for the second wash, only
liquid detergent may be placed in the liquid dispenser.
This detergent will be mixed with clean water for the
second wash which is 16 minutes of agitation.
