IMPORTANT: When delaying a cycle, use only powdered detergents in the main wash compartment since liquid detergents may seep out of the compartment during Delay Wash, before the wash cycle begins. Using the Dispenser Your new washer has a dispenser drawer with four separate compartments for your laundry products-two are for detergent, one is for liquid chlorine bleach, and one is for liquid fabric softener. Laundry products are diluted and dispensed automatically at the proper time during the wash cycle, making it unnecessary for you to return to the washer during the cycle to add them. It is normal for small amounts of water to remain in the dispensers when the wash cycle is complete. Do not put laundry products directly into the wash tub. Always use the proper dispensers when adding laundry products. Choosing the Right Detergent Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package for this type of detergent will be marked "HE" or "High Efficiency." This wash system, along with less water, will create too much sudsing with a regular non-HE detergent. Using regular detergent will likely result in washer errors, longer cycle times and reduced rinsing performance. It may also result in component failures and noticeable mold or mildew. HE detergents are made to produce the right amount of suds for the best performance. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to determine the amount of detergent to use. To fill dispenser compartments 1. Pull out the dispenser drawer. 2. Add the desired laundry product to the proper compartment. 3. Push in the dispenser drawer slowly and completely (to avoid a spill). A D B E C F Dispenser A. Detergent type selector B. Prewash detergent compartment C. Main Wash detergent compartment D.

The detergent will automatically be dispensed during Prewash if the Prewash option is selected or during the soak time if Presoak is selected. s Using High Efficiency (HE) detergent, add ¹⁄₃ the recommended amount to the Prewash compartment and ²⁄₃ the recommended amount to the Main Wash compartment. Main Wash detergent compartment (Letters A & C in Dispenser Illustration) Add liquid or powdered HE detergent to this compartment for your main wash cycle. The detergent type selector (A) must always be in the correct position for the detergent type used. Slide the detergent type selector to the correct position. IMPORTANT: If you are using the Prewash, Presoak or Delay Wash option, powdered detergent must be used in the Main Wash compartment, since liquid detergents may seep out of the Main Wash compartment before the main wash begins. s Use the detergent manufacturer's recommended amount for load size. s Liquid or powdered color-safe bleach may be added to the Main Wash compartment along with the same type of detergent, liquid or powdered. Use only HE High Efficiency detergent. 12
