Using the Dispenser Your new washer has a dispenser drawer with three separate compartments for your laundry products-one is for detergent, one is for liquid chlorine bleach, and one is for liquid fabric softener. Laundry products are diluted and dispensed automatically at the proper time during the wash cycle, making it unnecessary for you to return to the washer during the cycle to add them. It is normal for small amounts of water to remain in the dispensers when the wash cycle is complete. Do not put laundry products directly into the wash tub. Always use the proper dispensers when adding laundry products. Choosing the Right Detergent Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package for this type of detergent will be marked "HE" or "High Efficiency." This wash system, along with less water, will create too much sudsing with a regular non-HE detergent. Using regular detergent will likely result in washer errors, longer cycle times, and reduced rinsing performance. It may also result in component failures and noticeable mold or mildew. HE detergents are made to produce the right amount of suds for the best performance. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to determine the amount of detergent to use. Remember, concentrated detergents such as 2x or higher will use less detergent based on load size. Use only HE High Efficiency detergent. To fill dispenser compartments 1. Pull out the dispenser drawer. 2. Add the desired laundry product to the proper compartment. 3. Push in the dispenser drawer slowly and completely (to avoid a spill). C D A B E Dispenser A.

Chlorine bleach compartment E.Fabric softener compartment Main wash compartment (Letter B in Dispenser Illustration) Add liquid or powdered HE detergent to this compartment for your wash cycle. The detergent type selector (A) must always be in the correct position for the detergent type used. Slide the detergent type selector to the correct position. IMPORTANT: Liquid or powdered color-safe bleach may be added to the Main Wash compartment along with the same type of liquid or powdered detergent. Use the detergent and color-safe bleach manufacturer's recommended amount for load size. If you are using the Delay Wash option, powdered laundry products should be used in the main wash compartment because liquid products may seep out of the compartment before the main wash begins. 15
