5. Add detergent, bleach and fabric softener to automatic dispenser following these steps: A. OPENING AND CLOSING THE DISPENSER DRAWER • Slowly open the dispenser drawer by first sliding the safety latch to the right, then pulling the drawer out until it stops. • After adding laundry products, slowly close the dispenser drawer. Closing the drawer too quickly could result in early dispensing of the bleach and fabric softener. • Dispenser drawer should be completely closed for powdered detergent, bleach and fabric softener to despense. • Laundry products used with powder or liquid detergent, such as color-safe bleach, water conditioner, detergent booster, and enzyme products should be added to the empty tub before loading. Note: From time to time you may see water in the bleach and fabric softener compartments. This is a result of the siphoning action and is part of the normal operation of the washer. B. DETERGENT • Addmeasureddetergenttothedetergentcompartment of the dispenser drawer. • Detergent is flushed from the dispenser at the beginning of the cycle. Either powdered or liquid detergent can be used. Note: Liquid detergent will drain into the washer drum as it is added. • Low sudsing detergent is recommended for this washer. Use the manufacturer's recommended amount. • If low sudsing detergent is not available, a reduced amount of regular detergent may be used. Because reducing the amount of detergent may reduce cleaning, it is important to pretreat stains, sort carefully by color and soil level, and avoid overloading. • Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for water temperature, water hardness, size and soil level of the load. • For best results, avoid oversudsing. C. LIQUID BLEACH • If desired, measure out the recommended amount of liquid chlorine bleach (not to exceed 1/3 cup (80 mL)) and pour it into the center compartment labeled "Liquid Bleach" and marked with this symbol . • Do not exceed the maximum fill line.

Fabric damage can occur. • Do not use powdered bleach in the dispenser. D. FABRIC SOFTENER • If desired, pour the recommended amount of fabric softener into the compartment labeled "Fabric Softener" and marked with this symbol . • Dilute concentrated softeners with warm water to the Fill Line. • Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Overfilling can cause early dispensing of the fabric softener which could result in stained clothes. • Do not pour fabric softener directly on the wash load. • Use of a fabric softener dispensing ball is not recommended in tumble action washers. 5
