OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Step 4: Adding detergent and additives to the compartments
Notes:
• Overloading may reduce washing efficiency, cause excess wear, and possibly cause
creasing or wrinkling of the load.
• Wash delicate items such as bras, hosiery, and other lingerie on the Delicates cycle
with similar lightweight items.
• Don't overfill your washer with too many big, bulky items. This could lead to
unwanted vibration during the spin cycle. If this happens, remove some items and
restart the washing cycle.
• Always use the Bulky cycle for bulky items.
• For good cleaning results when washing heavily soiled loads, don’t overload your
washer.
CAUTIONS:
• High-efficient detergent is required for this washer.
• Use the detergent manufacturer’s recommended amount.
• Add measured detergent to the front left detergent compartment of the dispenser
drawer.
• Avoid splashing or over-filling the compartment.
• Be sure to identify the correct compartment for fabric softener before using.
• Do not pour fabric softener directly on the wash load.
• Be sure to identify the correct compartment for bleach before using.
• Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto the load or into the tub.
Doing so can damage fabrics by weakening of the fibers or stripping the color.
• Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Overfilling can cause early dispensing of the
bleach which could result in damaged clothes.
• Measure the recommended amount of liquid bleach, not to exceed 1/3 cup (80 ml),
and pour it into the compartment labeled “LIQUID BLEACH.”
• Do not use powered bleach in the dispenser.
Notes:
• Detergent is flushed from the dispenser at the beginning of the wash cycle. Either
powder or liquid detergent can be used.
• For powder detergent - Remove the detergent selection insert and place it in a safe
location outside of your washer. Follow the detergent manufacturer’s instructions
when measuring the amount of powder to use.
• For liquid detergent - Locate the concentration of your detergent on the bottle.
Place the detergent selection insert in the corresponding location depending on
the concentration (normal, 2X, or 3X).
• Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for water temperature, water hardness,
size and soil level of the load. Avoid using too much detergent in your washer as it
can lead to oversudsing and detergent residue being left on the clothes or in your
washer.
• Slowly open the dispenser drawer by pulling it out until it stops. After adding
laundry products, slowly close the dispenser drawer. Closing the drawer too
quickly could result in early dispensing of the bleach, fabric softener, or detergent.
• You may see water in the dispenser drawer at the end of the cycle. This is a result of
the flushing/siphoning action and is part of the normal operation of the washer.
