Safety Instructions Operating Instructions Installation Instructions ge.com Using the Liquid Bleach Dispenser The bleach dispenser automatically dilutes and dispenses liquid chlorine bleach at the proper time in the wash cycle. 1 Check clothing care labels for special instructions. 2 Measure liquid bleach carefully, following instructions on the bottle. • Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto clothes or into the wash basket. • Do not pour powdered bleach into bleach dispenser. • Avoid overfilling or splashing when adding bleach to the dispenser. The maximum capacity of the bleach dispenser is one cup of bleach per wash cycle. Overfilling could result in early dispensing of bleach. 3 Before starting the washer, pour measured amount of bleach directly into bleach dispenser. If you prefer to use powdered bleach, add it into the wash basket directly before adding clothes. WARNING! Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such as vinegar and/or rust remover. Mixing can produce a toxic gas which may cause death. The manufacturer's recommended amount of undiluted bleach goes into the bleach dispenser. During the final "Infusor" wash action, the bleach is added to the wash load. This ensures performance won't be diminished. Two sequential flushes through the bleach dispenser completely remove the bleach from the dispenser. Any residual liquid left in the dispenser at the end of the cycle is water, not bleach. To prevent self-siphoning of the bleach into the wash basket and damage to your clothes, never add more than the maximum fill level marked on the dispenser. Also keep clothes away from the bleach dispenser so they don't absorb any bleach droplets left around the bleach dispenser. Using the Dispenser Drawer The dispenser drawer contains 3 compartments: • Liquid Fabric Softener • Liquid or Powder Low-Sudsing, High-Efficiency Detergent • Liquid Pretreat Additives The dispenser automatically dispenses additives at the proper time in the wash cycle. 1 Slowly open the dispenser drawer by pulling out the drawer until it stops. 2 After adding laundry products, slowly close the dispenser drawer. Closing the drawer too quickly could result in early dispensing of additives. • Avoid overfilling or splashing when adding laundry products to the dispenser. Doing so could result in early dispensing of laundry products. At the end of the cycle, you may see water in the compartments. This is part of the normal operation of the washer. NOTE: Do not use bleach in the dispenser drawer. Troubleshooting Tips Consumer Support 7
