USING THE WASHER Getting started J Smart Dispense (GTW750 model only) When selected, this feature will automatically add detergent to the wash, eliminating the need to add detergent for each load. The detergent amount selection on the control panel will default to AUTO when first powering up the washing machine. When AUTO is selected, the amount of detergent needed for each laundry load will automatically be determined based on the size of the load the machine senses. If it is desired to manually select the amount of detergent for a given load, this can be done by pressing the Detergent Dispense button on the control panel to select detergent for a Small, Normal or Large load. Small will provide less detergent than average, Normal will provide an average amount of detergent and Large will provide more detergent than average. The smart dispense feature can be disabled by pressing the Detergent Dispense button until Off is selected. NOTE: Not all cycles will allow the use of the Smart Dispense feature. If the light is illuminated below the Off position and pressing the Detergent Dispense button results in a beeping tone, then Smart Dispense is not allowed for the cycle that has been selected. Detergent will need to be added directly to the wash basket for these cycles. Bulk Smart Dispenser (GTW750 model only) This model does not have a dispenser drawer for detergent since it has a bulk detergent dispensing system. NOTE: If it is desired to manually add detergent for a load, that detergent will need to be added directly to the basket, and the smart dispense set to OFF for that particular load. NOTE: The right side of the dispensing area in the rear of the washer opening does NOT pull out. It is a spout only for water and detergent to flow from the smart dispense system. Bulk Dispensing Spout Only Do NOT pull PW reatterreOan tDmemeanndt MAX Conditioner Adding Detergent to Bulk Smart Dispenser (GTW750 model only) This machine is equipped with a bulk detergent reservoir that can hold approximately 75 ounces of liquid detergent for your convenience. This is enough detergent for about 50 average laundry loads, depending on what dispense amount is selected. NOTE: If it is desired to change detergent type in the detergent tank, it is not required to flush the smart dispense system. The new detergent type can be added to a partiallyfilled tank, however it will not be immediately dispensed until the original detergent is completely dispensed from the system. NOTE: In the event that excessive chlorine bleach is accidentally spilled or otherwise gets into the detergent tank, please follow the Detergent Tank Clean-Out instructions in the Care and Cleaning section in order to minimize the possibility for clothing damage. If only a few drops of bleach are spilled into the detergent tank, there is no need to flush the tank. The filling port of the detergent reservoir is located on the front left of the washing machine. To fill the reservoir with liquid detergent, first open the tank lid by rotating the small lid clockwise. Then pour LIQUID detergent into the opening until the level reaches the MAX indicator located inside the filling port, also indicated with the horizontal line next to the MAX lettering. Filling to this MAX level will provide detergent for about 50 average laundry loads. To ensure detergent is always available, liquid detergent should be added to the reservoir whenever there is no longer detergent visible when looking directly into the filling port. 49-90577 13
