20 OPERATION IMPORTANT: ••Do not place or store laundry products, such as detergent, bleach, or liquid fabric softener, on top of your washer or dryer. Wipe up any spills immediately. These products can damage the machine'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, to prevent it from being dispensed with the pre-wash detergent. ••The amount of detergent added for the Pre-Wash 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 (High-Efficiency) detergent with your washer. NOTE ••Never exceed the manufacturer's recommendations when adding detergent. 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. ••When using liquid detergent, make sure the liquid detergent cup and insert are in place. Do not exceed the maximum fill line. ••When using powdered detergent, remove the insert and liquid detergent cup from the compartment. 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 may clog on 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. ••Do not add powdered bleach to this compartment. The bleach compartment is designed to dispense liquid chlorine bleach only. Powdered or liquid colorsafe bleach will not dispense properly. ••Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations when adding bleach. Never add more than one cup and do not exceed the maximum fill line since this can cause the bleach to be dispensed immediately, resulting in damage to fabrics. Using too much bleach can 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 Oxi products in the same cycle with liquid chlorine 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.
