Detergent drawer guidelines
The washer provides a four-compartment dispenser: the front-left compartment for the
main wash, the rear-left for pre-wash, the front-right for fabric softeners, and the rear-
right for the liquid chlorine bleach.
CAUTION
• Do not open the detergent drawer while the washer is operating.
• Do not use the following types of detergent:
- Tablet or capsule types
- Ball or net types
• To prevent the compartment from clogging, concentrated or highly-enriched agents
(fabric softener or detergent) must be diluted with water before being added.
