ABOUT THE DISPENSER DRAWER

The automatic dispenser consists of four compartments
which hold:
• Liquid chlorine bleach.
• Liquid fabric softener.
• Liquid or powdered detergent for prewash.
• Liquid or powdered detergent and color-safe bleach
for main wash.
Pre-Wash Detergent Compartment
Add liquid or powdered detergent to this compartment
when using the Pre-Wash option. Always use High-
Efficiency (HE) detergent with your washing machine.
The amount of detergent added for the Pre-Wash
option should be ½ the amount recommended for the
main wash cycle. For example, if the main wash cycle
requires ½ measure of detergent, add ¼ measure to the
Pre-Wash compartment.
NOTE: If using liquid detergent for the main wash when
using the Pre-Wash option, the liquid detergent cup
accessory must be used in the main wash dispenser. This
will prevent the main wash liquid detergent from being
dispensed immediately.
Main Wash Detergent Compartment
This compartment holds laundry detergent for the main
wash cycle. The detergent is added to the load at the
beginning of the cycle. Always use High-Efficiency (HE)
detergent with your washing machine. Either powdered
or liquid detergent may be used.
Never exceed the manufacturer's recommendations
when adding detergent. Using too much detergent can
result in detergent buildup in clothing and the washer.
NOTE: Liquid or powdered color-safe bleach may be
added to the main wash compartment with detergent of
the same type. DO NOT add liquid or powdered
color-safe bleach to the bleach dispenser. DO NOT mix
liquid and powdered cleaning agents within the same
compartment.
