20 PREPARATION USING THE SOFTENER AND DETERGENT DISPENSER To add detergent, and fabric softener to the automatic dispenser: 1. Open the dispenser drawer. 2. Load the laundry products into the appropriate compartments. 3. Close the drawer before starting the cycle. 4. If using fabric softener on NORMAL or HEAVY DUTY cycles, press the FABRIC SOFTENER button or select the EXTRA RINSE option. NOTE: It is normal for a small amount of water to remain in the softener compartment at the end of the cycle. 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 finish and controls. USING THE LIQUID BLEACH DISPENSER Bleach dispenser CLEANING THE LINT FILTERS Your washer comes with two lint filters inside the drum. These lint filters are designed to collect lint and other debris and prevent it from depositing on your laundry during the wash cycle. Clean the lint filters at least every 2-3 loads. Clean the filters more often if washing high lint-producers (like towels) or if you notice that filters are filling more quickly. To clean the lint filters: 1. Pinch the tabs on the top and bot- 1 tom of the filter to release the filter from the drum wall. 2. On the back of the filter, pull on the triangular tab to open the filter. (It 2 may help to place your thumb in the middle slot on the back and gently pull.) 3 3. Pull the filter completely open. 4. Use your fingers or a soft brush to 4 remove the lint from both sides of the filter. 5. If necessary, rinse the filter under 5 running water to clean out any remaining lint. 1. Check clothing care labels for special instructions. 2. Measure liquid bleach carefully, following instructions on the bottle. High-efficiency washers use less water, so less bleach is needed. One half cup is enough for most loads. 3. Carefully pour the pre-measured amount of bleach directly into the bleach dispenser. If you are using powdered bleach of any kind, pour it directly into the tub before adding the laundry. Never add powdered bleach to the liquid bleach dispenser. • Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto clothes or into the tub. • Do not pour powdered bleach into bleach dispenser. • Do not place laundry items on top of the bleach dis- penser when loading and unloading the washer. • Always measure and pour bleach carefully. Avoid overfilling or splashing when adding bleach to the dispenser. 6. Close the filter and snap it back 6 into place with the tabs at top and bottom. Make sure both tabs are locked into the housing by pressing firmly until you hear the tabs click. CAUTION • Make sure the filters are locked in place. Failure to lock both upper and lower tabs could cause the filter to come loose during a cycle resulting in damage to the filter and/or articles in the load. • Failure to clean the filters regularly can result in reduced cleaning performance due to reduced water flow through the filters. • Failure to clean the filters regularly can result in odors caused by lint buildup in the filters. • Operating the washer without the lint filters can result in damage to clothing caught in the open filter housing. NOTE: If a lint filter becomes torn or damaged, you can purchase a new one by calling your LG service center.
