Getting started
USING THE WASHER
Use a measuring cup to pour the bleach into the bleach 
dispenser. Measure liquid bleach carefully and DO NOT pour 
directly from the bleach bottle into the bleach dispenser. 
NOTE: The bleach dispenser is a single use dispenser and is 
NOT a bulk dispense system. The maximum amount of bleach 
that should be poured into this dispenser for any load should 
never exceed 1 cup.
NOTE: In the event that excessive chlorine bleach is 
accidentally spilled or otherwise gets into the detergent tank, 
please follow the Detergent Tank Clean-Out instructions in the 
Care and Cleaning section in order to minimize the possibility 
for clothing damage. If only a few drops of bleach are spilled 
into the detergent tank, there is no need to flush the tank.
NOTE: In the event that detergent is accidentally spilled or 
otherwise gets into the bleach opening, that detergent will 
simply be used for the next wash cycle. In this case there is no 
need to perform any flushing routine.
Liquid Bleach 
(GTW840 and GTW845 models only)
Liquid fabric softener/conditioner should be added to the small 
drawer in the rear of the washer opening. Follow the liquid 
fabric softener/conditioner manufacturer’s recommendations 
for the correct amount of softener/conditioner, based on the 
load size. Do not overfill or dilute softener/conditioner as this 
can result in additive being dispensed prematurely in the wash 
cycle. Your option selections will determine when liquid fabric 
softener/conditioner is automatically dispensed at its optimal 
time in the rinse cycle.
NOTE: Fabric softener crystals should NOT be added to the 
dispenser drawer, as they will not dispense properly.

Flex Dispense Drawer 
(PTW600 and PT605 models only)
Use this Flex Dispense Drawer for softener/conditioner, pre-wash detergent, detergent packets (laundry packs) and main detergent.
Liquid fabric softener/conditioner should be added to the far 
left washer drawer compartment. Follow the liquid fabric softener/
conditioner manufacturer’s recommendations for the correct amount 
of softener/conditioner, based on the load size. Do not overfill 
or dilute softener/conditioner as this can result in additive being 
dispensed prematurely in the wash cycle. Your option selections will 
determine when liquid fabric softener/conditioner is automatically 
dispensed at its optimal time in the rinse cycle.
NOTE: Fabric softener crystals should 
NOT be added to the dispenser drawer, 
as they will not dispense properly.
Pre-wash detergent should 
be added to the middle left 
(second from left) Custom Add 
compartment. Use with SmartHQ 
App. Fill for heavily soiled loads 
to loosen and remove heavy soil 
before starting the main cycle 
selected. Refer to the SmartHQ App 
for Flex Dispense capabilities.
Detergent packets (Laundry Packs) should be added to the middle right (third from left) compartment. Follow the detergent 
manufacturer’s recommendations for the correct number of detergent packets for your wash load. Do not add more detergent 
packets than recommended as this can result in residual detergent being leftover at the end of the cycle. Your option selections will 
determine when detergent is automatically dispensed at its optimal time in the wash cycle.
NOTE: We recommend the use of High Efficiency 
 laundry packs such as Tide PODS™ or Gain Flings™. Some detergent packs 
may not dispense completely at very cold temperatures or in the delicate cycle. In these cases, you may use a warmer temperature 
setting to dispense harder to dissolve detergent packs.
HE detergent should be added to the far right 
compartment. Follow the detergent manufacturer’s 
recommendations for the correct amount of detergent, 
based on load size, taking care to add detergent to the right 
compartment. Do not overfill or dilute detergent as this can 
result in additive being dispensed prematurely in the wash 
cycle. Your option selections will determine when detergent is 
automatically dispensed at its optimal time in the wash cycle. 
For optimal performance, especially 
when selecting cooler temperature 
and in cold weather climates, place 
powdered HE detergent directly on top 
of the load.
NOTE: Single-dose laundry packets 
should not be added to the detergent 
dispenser, as they will not dispense 
properly. Put packets in the Laundry 
Pack Dispenser Cup.
