This compartment holds laundry detergent

for the main wash cycle, which is added to

the load at the beginning of the cycle.  

Never exceed the detergent manufacturer’s

recommendations when adding detergent.

Using too much detergent can result in

detergent buildup in clothing and the washer.

Either powdered or liquid detergent may be used.
•  When using liquid detergent, make sure the 

liquid detergent cup and insert are in place.  

Do not exceed the maximum fill line.

•  When using powdered detergent, remove 

the insert and liquid detergent cup from the 

compartment. Powdered detergent will not 

dispense with the liquid detergent cup and 

insert in place.

Using the Liquid Bleach Dispenser
The bleach dispenser 

automatically dilutes and 

dispenses liquid chlorine 

bleach at the proper time 

in the  

wash cycle.

        
        Check clothing care labels for special 

instructions.

        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. Do not place load items on top 

of the bleach dispenser when loading and 

unloading the washer.

    •  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 

premature dispensing of bleach.

        Before starting the washer, pour a pre-

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.

NOTE: Please flush the bleach dispenser with water 

after bleach use and then rinse out the residue by 

use of  Rinse & Spin cycle.

Fabric Softener Compartment
This compartment holds liquid fabric softener,

which will be automatically dispensed during the

final rinse cycle.

•   Always follow the detergent manufacturer’s 

recommendations when adding fabric softener.

Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Using 

too much fabric softener may result in stained 

clothes.

•  Dilute concentrated fabric softeners with warm 

water. Do not exceed the maximum fill line.

•  Never pour fabric softener directly onto the load 

or into the drum.

w

 Do NOT mix chlorine 

bleach with ammonia or acids, such as vinegar or 

rust / scale remover. 

Mixing chemicals like these can produce gas which 

may cause death.

Put the manufacturer’s recommended amount of 

undiluted liquid chlorine bleach into the bleach 

dispenser. During the final portion of the wash cycle, 

two sequential flushes of the dispenser put all the 

bleach into the wash load and completely flush 

the dispenser to eliminate the carryover of bleach 

to a subsequent load. Any liquid remaining in the 

bleach dispenser at the end of the cycle is water, 

not bleach. 

To prevent unintentional self-siphoning of the bleach, 

never fill the dispenser higher than the maximum fill 

level marked on the dispenser. 

When adding bleach to the dispenser, be careful 

to avoid spilling it into the laundry load or leaving 

droplets of bleach around the dispenser. These 

things will damage your laundry items.
