Clean the dispenser compartments, see “Cleaning the Dispenser” 
for more information.
Load dispensers before starting a cycle.
Measure detergent and fabric softener. Slowly pour into the  
dispensers. Wipe up all spills. 
Homes with low water pressure may result in residual powder in the 
dispenser. To avoid, select a warmer wash temperature if possible, 
depending on your load.
Use only liquid chlorine bleach in the liquid chlorine bleach  
compartment.
