Close the detergent dispenser drawer slowly
before starting the cycle.
• Slamming the detergent dispenser drawer
may result in the detergent overflowing into
another compartment or pouring into the
tub earlier than programmed.
CAUTION
• Do not place or store laundry products, such as
detergent, bleach, or liquid fabric softener, on
top of your washer. These products can damage
the washer's finish and controls.
NOTE
• The manual dispenser cannot be used for pre-
wash detergent dispensing.
Manual 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.
• Liquid or powdered color-safe bleach may be
added to the manual main wash compartment
with detergent of the same type. Do not mix
liquids and powders
• 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.
Liquid Bleach Compartment
This compartment holds liquid bleach, which is
dispensed automatically at the proper time during
the wash cycle. The dispenser is activated twice to
ensure complete dispensing of the bleach. Any
liquid remaining in the dispenser at the end of the
cycle is water, not bleach.
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
compartment. The bleach compartment is
designed to dispense liquid chlorine bleach only.
Powdered or liquid color-safe bleach will not
dispense properly.
• Follow the manufacturer's recommendations
when adding bleach. Never add more than one
cup, and do not exceed the maximum fill line or
the bleach may be dispensed immediately and
damage fabrics. Using too much bleach can also
damage fabrics.
• Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach
directly onto the load or into the drum. Fabric
damage can occur.
• Do not use color-safe bleach or oxygen bleach in
the same cycle with liquid chlorine bleach.
