About washer features. Bulk Detergent Tank Single Wash Detergent Dispenser Bulk Detergent Tank The bulk detergent tank holds over a gallon (140 ounces or 4100 ml) of liquid bulk detergent. After filling the tank, press the Detergent Tank On button to turn on its light and designate bulk (rather than manual) detergent dispense. The Tank Levels lights (1-5) indicate how much detergent is left. An empty tank is shown by a single red light. A full (or nearly full) tank is shown by 5 lights. NOTE: If you press Start when the tank is empty, the Detergent Tank On and the red light will blink. A beep will also sound if Variable Signal is on. The Detergent Cup Amount lights indicate if a Low, Medium, or High amount will be dispensed. See the Bulk Tank Special Functions Option 1: Set Concentration Settings on page 10 to understand how the Low, Medium, and High amounts are established. Detergent will be automatically dispensed at the optimum time at the beginning of each fill cycle. Set the Bulk Detergent Cup Amount Preference When the Detergent Tank On light is on, pressing the Detergent Cup Amount button will set the Detergent Cup Amount lights (1, 2, or 3). Level 1 will distribute the standard amount minus 25%. Level 2 will distribute the standard amount. Level 3 will distribute the standard amount plus 25%. Examples: Factory default standard amount is 1.5 oz (44 ml) (Concentration Setting ). Concentration Setting  If Detergent Cup Amount shows 3 lights then 1.9 oz (55 ml) will be dispensed. 3 lights: 1.9 oz. If Detergent Cup Amount shows 2 lights then 1.5 oz (44 ml) will be dispensed. 2 lights: 1.5 oz. If Detergent Cup Amount shows 1 light then 1.1 oz (33 ml) will be dispensed. 1 light: 1.1 oz. NOTE: Each cycle knob position defaults to a different Detergent Cup Amount (including 0 if no detergent is used). If you change the Soil setting, the Detergent Cup Amount may change. You can then manually change the Detergent Cup Amount, but your change will not be saved when you leave this knob position or if you set a My Settings. Single Wash Detergent Dispenser If you prefer to manually add either powder or liquid detergent to the next wash cycle, pour it in the left front opening and make sure the Tank On light is off (press button if light is on). Most detergent will immediately enter the tub. The washer will flush water through this opening just prior to the fill cycle to add any detergent that did not fall into the tub. NOTE: Do not put detergent tablets in the single wash detergent dispenser. Detergent tablets should be added to the bottom of the washer basket before clothes are placed inside. 8
