3 Gently close the detergent dispenser drawer before starting the cycle. • Slamming the drawer closed may result in the detergent overflowing into another compartment or dispensing into the drum earlier than programmed. • Be careful not to get a hand caught in the drawer while closing. • It is normal for a small amount of water to remain in the dispenser compartments at the end of the cycle. CAUTION • Do not place or store laundry products, such as detergent, bleach, or liquid fabric softener, on top of your washer. These products can damage the washer's finish and controls. Pre-wash Detergent Compartment Add liquid or powdered detergent to this compartment when using the Pre-wash option. Always use HE (High-Efficiency) detergent with your washer. • When using the Pre-wash option, liquid detergent for the main wash needs to be loaded in the liquid detergent cup accessory in the main wash dispenser (where applicable), to prevent it from being dispensed with the pre-wash detergent. • The amount of detergent added for the Prewash option is 1/2 the amount recommended for the main wash cycle. For example, if the main wash cycle requires one measure of detergent, add 1/2 measure for the Pre-wash option. Main Wash Detergent Compartment This compartment holds laundry detergent for the main wash cycle. Either powdered or liquid detergent may be used in this compartment. • The detergent is added to the load at the beginning of the cycle. Always use HE (HighEfficiency) detergent with your washer. • Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Using too much detergent can result in detergent buildup in clothing and the washer. • Liquid or powdered color-safe bleach may be added to the main wash compartment with detergent of the same type. Do not mix liquids and powders • If the dispenser has a liquid detergent cup and insert: - Make sure they are in place when using liquid detergent. OPERATION-WASHER 13 - Make sure to remove them when using powdered detergent. Powdered detergent will not dispense with the liquid detergent cup and insert in place. • If you use a detergent that does not dissolve easily or a detergent with high viscosity, it will leave a residue and clog the dispenser. Liquid Bleach Compartment This compartment holds liquid bleach, which is dispensed automatically at the proper time during the wash cycle. The dispenser is activated twice to ensure complete dispensing of the bleach. Any liquid remaining in the dispenser at the end of the cycle is water, not bleach. WARNING • Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such as vinegar or rust/scale remover. Mixing chemicals like these can produce a lethal gas, resulting in severe injury or death. NOTE • Do not add powdered bleach to this compartment. The bleach compartment is designed to dispense liquid chlorine bleach only. Powdered or liquid color-safe bleach will not dispense properly. • Follow the manufacturer's recommendations when adding bleach. Never add more than one cup, and do not exceed the maximum fill line or the bleach may be dispensed immediately and damage fabrics. Using too much bleach can also damage fabrics. • Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto the load or into the drum. Fabric damage can occur. • Do not use color-safe bleach or oxygen bleach in the same cycle with liquid chlorine bleach. Fabric Softener Compartment This compartment holds fabric softener, which is automatically dispensed during the final rinse cycle. Either powdered or liquid fabric softener may be used. • Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Using too much fabric softener may stain clothes or cause buildup on fabrics or in the washer. • Dilute concentrated fabric softeners with warm water. • Never pour fabric softener directly onto the load or into the drum.
