Using Laundry Product Dispensers
NOTE: Do not add liquid laundry detergent, single-dose
laundry packets, color-safe bleach, Oxi-type boosters, or
fabric softener crystals to dispensers. They will not dispense
correctly. Add to the basket prior to adding laundry.
4. Add powdered HE detergent
IMPORTANT: Use only High Efciency detergents. The
package will be marked “HE” or “High Efciency.” Low-water
washing creates excessive sudsing with a non-HE detergent.
Using non-HE detergent will likely result in longer cycle
times and reduced rinsing performance. It may also result
in component failure and, over time, buildup of mold or
mildew. HE detergents should be low-sudsing and quick-
dispersing to produce the right amount of suds for the best
performance. They should hold soil in suspension so it is not
re-deposited onto clean clothes. Not all detergents labeled
as High Efciency are identical in formulation and their ability
to reduce suds. For example, natural, organic, or homemade
HE detergents may generate a high level of suds. Follow
the manufacturer’s instructions to determine the amount of
detergent to use.
NOTES:
■ Use only powdered HE detergent in the detergent
dispenser. Add liquid HE detergent or single-dose packets
to the basket prior to adding laundry.
■ See “Washer Maintenance” for information on
recommended method of cleaning washer dispensers.
5. Add liquid chlorine bleach to dispenser
Bleach will be dispensed automatically during the wash part of
the cycle. Do not overll, 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 liquid fabric softener
Pour a measured amount of liquid fabric softener into
dispenser; always follow manufacturer’s directions for correct
amount of fabric softener based on your load size. Fabric
softener is added during rinse.
IMPORTANT: Do not overll or dilute. Overlling dispenser
will cause fabric softener to immediately dispense into washer.
It is normal for a small amount of water to remain in the
dispenser at the end of a cycle.
NOTE: The fabric softener dispenser rotates around the wash
basket and may not be in the same spot each time.
7. Touch POWER to turn on washer
Close the washer lid. Washer will not ll, agitate, or spin
with the lid open. Make sure the dispenser drawer is closed
completely, then touch POWER to turn on the washer.
8. Select wash temperature
Set the water temperature for the type of fabric and soils being
washed. Use the warmest wash water safe for fabric. Follow
garment label instructions.
