The Fabric Softener Dispenser
The fabric softener dispenser automatically
releases liquid fabric softener at the proper time
during the cycle.
Do not stop the washer during the first spin.
This will cause the dispenser to empty
too soon.
To use, follow these steps:
1
Make sure dispenser is securely attached to
agitator.
2
Use only diluted liquid fabric softener.
Pour into dispenser, using amount
recommended on package.
Never pour fabric softener directly on clothes. It
may stain them.
NOTE: Do not pour bleach into FABRIC SOFTENER
dispenser.
Cleaning the Fabric Softener Dispenser
1 Remove the dispenser from the top of the agitator.
2
Separate the dispenser cup from the cover by grasping the top and pushing down on the inside of
the cup with your fingers. Dispenser cup will pop free from the cover.
3
To clean the dispenser, soak both the dispenser cup and the dispenser cover in the following
solution:
1 US gallon (3.8 liters) warm water
1/4 cup (60 ml) heavy-duty liquid detergent
1 cup (240 ml) bleach
4
If necessary, loosen buildup with a clean, soft cloth after soaking. Do not use a stiff brush; you may
roughen the surface of the dispenser.
5
Rinse and reassemble dispenser. Place dispenser back on the agitator.
Liquid Bleach Funnel
The water fill dilutes liquid chlorine bleach as the washer fills for the wash cycle.
1 Check clothing care labels for special instructions.
2
Measure liquid bleach carefully, following instructions on the bottle.
Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto clothes or into the wash basket.
Do not pour powdered bleach into bleach funnel.
3
Before starting the washer, pour measured amount of bleach directly into bleach funnel. Avoid
splashing or over-filling dispenser. If you prefer to use powdered bleach, add it into the wash basket
with your detergent.
Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such as vinegar and/or rust remover. Mixing
can produce a toxic gas which may cause death.
NOTE: Do not pour bleach into FABRIC SOFTENER dispenser.
3
Add water to dispenser until it reaches the
maximum fill line.
Do not pour anything into the
agitator if the dispenser is removed.
4
Select FABRIC SOFTENER button on control
panel for proper dispersion of the fabric
softener.
