SELECTING DETERGENT
IMPORTANT: Your Steam Washer™ is
designed for use with only High-Efficiency
(HE) detergents. HE detergents are formulated
specifically for front-load washers and contain
suds-reducing agents. Always look for the HE
symbol when purchasing detergent.
HE detergents produce fewer suds, dissolve
more efficiently to improve washing and rinsing
performance, and help to keep the interior of your
washer clean.
Using a regular detergent may cause oversudsing
and unsatisfactory performance.
ABOUT THE DISPENSER
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.
All laundry products can be added at once in
their respective dispenser compartments. They
will be dispensed at the appropriate time for the
most effective cleaning.
After adding the laundry products to the
dispenser, close the dispenser drawer.
To add detergent, bleach, and fabric softener to
the automatic dispenser:
1 Open the dispenser drawer.
2 Load the laundry products into the
appropriate compartments.
3 Slowly close the dispenser drawer to
avoid early dispensing of the laundry
products.
NOTE: It is normal for a small amount of water to
remain in the dispenser compartments at the end
of the cycle.

IMPORTANT: Do not place or store laundry
products, such as detergent, bleach, or liquid
fabric softener, on top of your washer or dryer.
Wipe up any spills immediately. These products
can damage the finish and controls.

LOADING THE DISPENSER
Prewash Detergent Compartment
Add liquid or powdered detergent to this
compartment when using the Prewash option.
Always use HE (High-Efficiency) detergent with
your washing machine.
• The amount of detergent added for the Prewash
option is 1/2 the amount recommended for the
main wash cycle. For example, if the main wash
cycle requires one measure of detergent, add
1/2 measure for the Prewash option.
NOTE: If liquid detergent is to be used for the
main wash when using the pre-wash option, the
liquid detergent cup accessory must be used
in main wash dispenser to prevent the main
wash liquid detergent from being dispensed
immediately.
Main Wash Detergent Compartment
This compartment holds laundry detergent
for the main wash cycle, which is added to
the load at the beginning of the cycle. Always
use HE (High-Efficiency) detergent with your
washing machine.
Never exceed the manufacturer's
recommendations when adding detergent.
Using too much detergent can result in
detergent buildup in clothing and the washer.
Either powdered or liquid detergent may be used.
• When using liquid detergent, make sure the
liquid detergent cup and insert are in place.
Do not exceed the maximum fill line.
• When using powdered detergent, remove
the insert and liquid detergent cup from the
compartment. Powdered detergent will not
dispense with the liquid detergent cup and
insert in place.
NOTE: Liquid or powdered color-safe bleach
may be added to the main wash compartment
with detergent of the same type.
