INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 15 ENGLISH ABOUT THE DISPENSERS The automatic dispenser consists of two compartments which hold: yy Liquid fabric softener. yy Liquid or powdered detergent for main wash. Main Wash Powder Detergent Compartment Liquid Fabric Softener Compartment Main Wash Liquid Detergent Compartment Insert Dispenser Drawer MAIN WASH DETERGENT COMPARTMENT This compartment holds laundry detergent for the main wash cycle. The detergent is added to the load at the beginning of the cycle. Always use High-Efficiency (HE) detergent with your washing machine. Either powdered or liquid detergent may be used. Never exceed the manufacturer's recommendations when adding detergent. Using too much detergent can result in detergent buildup in clothing and the washer. 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 liquid detergent cup from the compartment. Powdered detergent will not dispense with the liquid detergent cup in place. FABRIC SOFTENER COMPARTMENT This compartment holds liquid fabric softener, which is automatically dispensed during the final rinse cycle. Never exceed the manufacturer's recommendations when adding softener. Using too much fabric softener can result in buildup in clothing and the washer. Either powdered or liquid fabric softener may be used. yy Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations when adding fabric softener. Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Using too much fabric softener may stain clothes. yy Dilute concentrated fabric softeners with warm water. Do not exceed the maximum fill line. yyNever pour fabric softener directly onto the load or into the tub. Liquid Bleach Compartment LIQUID BLEACH COMPARTMENT The bleach dispenser is a separate compartment at the left front of the tub opening. 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. yy Do not add powdered bleach to this compartment. The bleach compartment is designed to dispense liquid bleach only. Powdered or liquid color-safe bleach will not dispense properly. yy 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. yy Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto the load or into the tub. Fabric damage can occur. yy Do not use color-safe bleach or Oxi products in the same cycle with liquid chlorine bleach. DANGER 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. DETERGENT AND DISPENSER USE A WORD ABOUT DETERGENTS High-Efficiency (HE) detergents produce fewer suds, dissolve more efficiently to improve washing and rinsing performance, and help to keep the interior of your washer clean. Using detergent that is not HE may cause oversudsing and unsatisfactory performance which could result in error codes, cycle failure, and machine damage.
