20 OPERATION
• It is normal for a small amount of water to
remain in the dispenser compartments at
the end of the cycle.
Main Wash Detergent Compartment
This compartment holds laundry detergent for the
main wash cycle. Either powdered or liquid
detergent may be used in this compartment.
• The detergent is added to the load at the
beginning of the cycle. Always use HE (High-
Efficiency) detergent with your washer.
• Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Using too
much detergent can result in detergent buildup
in clothing and the washer.
• Liquid or powdered color-safe bleach may be
added to the main wash compartment with
detergent of the same type. Do not mix liquids
and powders.
• When using liquid detergent, make sure the
liquid detergent cup and insert are in place.
• When using powdered detergent, remove the
insert
and liquid detergent cup

dispenser. Powdered detergent will not dispense
with the liquid detergent cup and insert in place.
• If you use a detergent that does not dissolve
easily or a detergent with high viscosity, it will
leave a residue and clog the dispenser.
Fabric Softener Compartment
This compartment holds liquid fabric softener,
which is automatically dispensed during the final
rinse cycle.
• Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Using too
much fabric softener may stain clothes.
• Dilute concentrated fabric softeners with warm
water.
• Never pour fabric softener directly onto the load
or into the tub.
Using the Liquid Bleach Dispenser
The bleach dispenser is a separate compartment
at the left front of the tub opening.
WARNING
• Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or
acids such as vinegar or rust/scale remover.
Mixing chemicals like these can produce a lethal
gas, resulting in severe injury or death.
NOTE
• Do not add powdered bleach to this dispenser.
The bleach dispenser is designed to dispense
liquid bleach only. Powdered or liquid color-safe
bleach will not dispense properly.
• Do not place laundry items on top of the bleach
dispenser when loading and unloading the
washer.
• Never add more than one cup of bleach and do
not exceed the maximum fill line since this can
cause the bleach to be dispensed immediately.
Using too much bleach can damage fabrics.
• Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach
directly onto the load or into the tub. Fabric
damage can occur.
• Do not use color-safe bleach or Oxi products in
the same cycle with liquid chlorine bleach.

• The dispenser is activated twice to ensure
complete dispensing of the bleach. Any liquid
Check clothing care labels for special
instructions.
Measure liquid bleach carefully, following the
instructions on the bottle.
• HE (High-Efficiency) washers use less water,
so less bleach is needed. One half cup is
enough for most loads.
Carefully pour the pre-measured amount of
bleach directly into the bleach dispenser.
• If you are using powdered bleach of any
kind, pour it directly into the tub before
adding the laundry.
• Never add powdered bleach to the liquid
bleach dispenser.
