Slowly close the dispenser drawer. Make sure it is completely closed. NOTES: ■■A small amount of water may remain in the dispensers from the previous wash cycle. This is normal. ■■See "About Detergent Concentration" for information on detergent concentration. ■■To ensure you have enough detergent in the dispenser, the display will show the detergent level (Low or Empty). ■■To add single-dose and Oxi-type boosters, see "Using Your Washer" section. Adding HE detergent to dispenser Optimal Dispense cartridge Adding detergent for a single load Powdered HE detergent compartment Tab Use only HE High Efficiency liquid detergents. The dispenser cartridge will hold about 18.5 oz. (550 ml) of HE liquid detergent, or enough for up to 36 loads†. Use only High Efficiency (HE) detergent. To Fill: Push back on the tab and lift the fill door. Fill to the "MAX" line (see illustration at right) with HE liquid detergent. Close fill door. It will click into place. "MAX" line To Install the Dispenser Cartridge: 1. Pull out the dispenser drawer. 2. Insert the dispenser cartridge completely in detergent compartment as shown. It should click into position. 3. Slowly slide the dispenser drawer in until it is completely closed. The washer will automatically detect the dispenser cartridge. NOTE: ■■The dispenser cartridge should be rinsed out when changing detergents or when the washer will not be used for extended periods. For instructions on cleaning the dispenser cartridge, see "Washer Maintenance." †The number of loads will vary, depending on detergent concentration, load size, cycle used, soil level, and water hardness. The maximum capacity of up to 36 loads requires use of 6X concentration detergent. Use only High Efficiency (HE) detergent. Lift out the cartridge and set aside. Powdered HE detergent Place a measured amount of detergent in the powdered HE detergent compartment. Liquid HE detergent A single dose of liquid detergent can be added to the Single-Dose Liquid HE Detergent Cup, which you can purchase (see "Accessories" section). Powdered detergent: Add directly to the compartment. Liquid detergent: Add to detergent cup. IMPORTANT: ■■Do not use liquid detergents in the single-load compartment; liquid detergents may seep out of the detergent compartment before the main wash begins. ■■Do not add single-dose laundry packet to dispenser drawer. ■■If you are using the Delay Wash option, use of the dispenser cartridge is recommended or powdered detergent may be used in the HE powdered detergent compartment. Using two liquid HE detergents If you frequently alternate between two different liquid HE detergents, you can purchase an additional Optimal Dispense cartridge. See "Accessories" for ordering information. 13
