FEATURES BLEACH COMPARTMENT (Liquid Chlorine Bleach Only) 1. Add chlorine bleach to the bleach compartment. Do not exceed the MAX FILL line.The liquid chlorine bleach compartment will hold 3/4 of a cup. 2. Avoid splashing or over-filling the compartment. Over-filling the compartment will release the liquid chlorine bleach into the clothes washer too early. 3. The washer automatically dispenses bleach into the tub when there are approximately two minutes left in the wash portion of the cycle.This maximizes the effectiveness of the bleach. 4. The dispenser automatically dilutes liquid chlorine bleach before it reaches the wash load. NOTES: • Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto the load or into the tub. It is a powerful chemical and can cause fabric damage, such as weakening of the fibers or color loss, if not used properly. • If you prefer to use color-safe, non-chlorine bleach, add it to the detergent compartment. Do not pour color-safe bleach into the bleach compartment. SOFTENER COMPARTMENT 1. Pour the recommended amount of liquid fabric softener into the softener compartment. For smaller loads use less than one cap full. 2. Fabric softener should be diluted with warm water until it reaches the MAX FILL line on the compartment. Do not fill above the MAX FILL line. If the compartment is filled above the MAX FILL line, fabric softener will enter the clothes washer too early. 3. This compartment automatically releases liquid fabric softener at the proper time during the rinse cycle. NOTES: • Use the softener compartment only for liquid fabric softeners. • Using the Downy Ball* is not recommended with this washer. It will not add fabric softener at the appropriate time. Use the dispenser on top of the washer. S M AX FILL * Brand names are trademarks of the respective manufacturers. 7
