The bleach dispenser is located in the left front corner, 
under the loading door.

Use liquid bleach in the dispenser. Powdered bleach 
must not be used in the dispenser. Add powdered 
bleach to the wash water.

Use no more than one cup chlorine bleach for large 
loads, three-quarters cup for medium and one-half cup 
for small loads.

Carefully pour recommended amount of bleach into the 
dispenser during the first fill of the washer.

Be careful not to spill undiluted bleach. It is a strong 
chemical and can damage some fabrics if it is not 
properly diluted.

To Use Dispenser
After the clothes are loaded into the washtub and before 
the start of the WASH cycle, pour the proper amount of 
liquid fabric softener into the bottle measuring cap (see 
bottle directions). Pour into dispenser.

The large fabric softener dispenser allows for the fabric 
softener to be diluted with water. We recommend 
adding water up to the fill level. Do not exceed tip of 
arrow which indicates correct fill level. Over-filling can 
allow fabric softener to spill onto the clothes.

Setting the water level to medium or higher will result 
in better performance from the fabric softener.

The fabric softener will remain in the dispenser during 
the wash fill, agitation and spin. At the end of the wash 
spin, the liquid fabric softener will be dispensed into 
the washtub through the slots in the agitator and will be 
mixed with the incoming rinse water.

To Clean the Dispenser
Remove the dispenser housing from agitator by 
squeezing the lower part of the dispenser, pulling 
directly upward and at the same time tilting slightly. 
This will expose the dispenser cup, which is also 
removable for cleaning (refer to illustration). Both 
housing and cup can be soaked in hot soapy water and 
rinsed clean. The funnel shape in top of agitator also 
needs to be cleaned. The hole and the slots in the two 
rings will require using a small brush for proper 
cleaning.

After cleaning, install dispenser cup, then push 
dispenser housing directly downward onto top of 
agitator until firmly snapped together.

Use Tips
• Fabric softener spilled onto garments may cause 

staining. To remove, soak in a soapy solution made 
from Sard Wonder Soap or rub the stain with a bar of 
Sard, then wash.

• Liquid fabric softeners will be dispensed during the 

final rinse and should not be combined with bleach, 
bluing, starch, detergents, soaps or packaged water 
conditioners.

• Fabric softener is not to be used in dispenser when 

using Prewash cycle, if available.

• When adding detergent to wash water, do not allow 

any to enter into softener dispenser cup, as softener 
will become gummy.

To prevent softener buildup, the dispenser can be filled 
with clean water for automatic cleaning. This can be 
done in washing cycles other than when softener is 
used.
