Whirlpool CABRIO W10280477B Manuel D’Utilisation

Add a measured amount of HE detergent  

into detergent tray. This tray holds 3 oz.  

(89 mL). Do not overfill tray – adding too much detergent may 

cause detergent to be dispensed into the washer too early.
IMPORTANT: Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package 

will be marked “HE” or “High Efficiency.” Low-water washing 

creates excessive sudsing with a regular non-HE detergent. 

Using regular detergent will likely result in 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. 
Using Oxi or color-safe bleach:

If using an Oxi or color-safe bleach laundry boost product, add 

to the bottom of the washer basket before adding clothes.
HELPFUL TIP: See “Washer Maintenance” for information  

on recommended method of cleaning washer dispenser trays.

Pour a measured amount of liquid fabric softener  

into tray, always follow manufacturer’s directions  

for correct amount of fabric softener based on your load size. 

Close dispenser drawer, then select Fabric Softener option. 
IMPORTANT: Fabric Softener option must be selected to  

ensure proper distribution at correct time in cycle. Do not overfill 

or dilute. Overfilling dispenser will cause fabric softener to  

immediately dispense into washer. 
If Extra Rinse option is selected, fabric softener will be dispensed 

into the last rinse.
It is normal for a small amount of water to remain in the dispenser 

at the end of a cycle. 

Do not overfill, dilute, or use more than 1 cup (250 mL).  

Do not use color-safe bleach or Oxi products in the same  

cycle with liquid chlorine bleach.
