Safety Instructions Operating Instructions Installation Instructions Troubleshooting Tips Consumer Support 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. 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. If the dispenser drawer is pulled out more than 1-1/2" when the washer is in operation, the washer will shut off. The DOOR LOCK indicator light will turn off and the door will be unlocked. Slowly close the drawer, and the washer will automatically resume operation. The Detergent Compartment I Add measured detergent to the detergent compartment of the dispenser drawer. I 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. I Low sudsing detergent is recommended for this washer. Use the manufacturer's recommended amount. I Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for water temperature, water hardness, size and soil level of the load. Avoid using too much detergent in your washer as it can lead to oversudsing and detergent residue being left on the clothes. I Color-safe bleach, water conditioner, detergent booster and enzyme products may be added to the detergent compartment. Avoid mixing liquids and powders. I If the dispenser drawer is opened during operation, the washer will shut off. Slowly close the dispenser drawer, and press START to continue cycle. The Liquid Bleach Compartment If desired, measure out the recommended amount of liquid chlorine bleach, not to exceed 1/3 cup (80 ml) and pour into the center compartment labeled "LIQUID BLEACH" marked with this symbol . Fill to the minimum fill line (MIN.) for small loads. Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Overfilling can cause early dispensing of the bleach which could result in damaged clothes. NOTE: Do not use powdered bleach in the dispenser. The Fabric Softener Compartment If desired, pour the recommended amount of liquid fabric softener into the compartment labeled "FABRIC SOFTENER" and marked with this symbol . Fill to the minimum fill line (MIN.) for small loads. Fill to the maximum fill line (MAX.) for large loads. Dilute with water to the maximum fill line. Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Overfilling can cause early dispensing of the fabric softener which could stain clothes. NOTE: Do not pour fabric softener directly on the wash load. 7
