Using Laundry Product Dispensers NOTE: Do not add liquid laundry detergent, single-dose laundry packets, color-safe bleach, Oxi-type boosters, or fabric softener crystals to dispensers. They will not dispense correctly. Add to the basket prior to adding laundry. 4. Add powdered HE detergent 6. Add liquid fabric softener IMPORTANT: Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package will be marked "HE" or "High Efficiency." Low-water washing creates excessive sudsing with a non-HE detergent. Using non-HE detergent will likely result in longer cycle times and reduced rinsing performance. It may also result in component failure and, over time, buildup of mold or mildew. HE detergents should be low-sudsing and quickdispersing to produce the right amount of suds for the best performance. They should hold soil in suspension so it is not re-deposited onto clean clothes. Not all detergents labeled as High Efficiency are identical in formulation and their ability to reduce suds. For example, natural, organic, or homemade HE detergents may generate a high level of suds. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to determine the amount of detergent to use. NOTES: ■■ Use only powdered HE detergent in the detergent dispenser. Add liquid HE detergent or single-dose packets to the basket prior to adding laundry. ■■ See "Washer Maintenance" for information on recommended method of cleaning washer dispensers. 5. Add liquid chlorine bleach to dispenser Pour a measured amount of liquid fabric softener into dispenser; always follow manufacturer's directions for correct amount of fabric softener based on your load size. Fabric softener is added during rinse. IMPORTANT: Do not overfill or dilute. Overfilling dispenser will cause fabric softener to immediately dispense into washer. It is normal for a small amount of water to remain in the dispenser at the end of a cycle. NOTE: The fabric softener dispenser rotates around the wash basket and may not be in the same spot each time. 7. Touch POWER to turn on washer Close the washer lid. Washer will not fill, agitate, or spin with the lid open. Make sure the dispenser drawer is closed completely, then touch POWER to turn on the washer. 8. Select wash temperature Bleach will be dispensed automatically during the wash part of the cycle. Do not overfill, dilute, or use more than 1 cup (250 mL). Do not use color-safe bleach or Oxi products in the same cycle with liquid chlorine bleach. Set the water temperature for the type of fabric and soils being washed. Use the warmest wash water safe for fabric. Follow garment label instructions. 16
