Using the washer
Dispenser Drawer
Slowly open the dispenser drawer by pulling it out until
it stops. After adding laundry products, slowly close the
dispenser drawer. Closing the drawer too quickly could
result in early dispensing of the bleach, fabric softener or
detergent.
You may see water in the detergent, bleach and fabric
softener compartments at the end of the cycle. This is a
result of the flushing/siphoning action and is part of the
normal operation of the washer.
SmartDispense
When selected, this feature will automatically add
detergent to the wash, eliminating the need to add
detergent for each load.
The detergent amount selection on the control
panel will default to AUTO when first powering up
the washing machine. When AUTO is selected, the
amount of detergent needed for each laundry load will
automatically be determined based on the size of the
load the machine senses.
For AUTO, the washer will dispense approximately 1.5 oz
of detergent for an 8 lb normal load. For other loads,
it will adjust proportionally based on the size of load
and garment type. If you select LESS, the amount of
detergent will be reduced by 40%. This may be desired
for higher concentrate detergents or if you have very soft
water. For heavily soiled loads, you may want to select
MORE to add 40% more detergent than the AUTO level.
You can set the brand/type of detergent in the SmartHQ
App so that the washer can make adjustments based on
detergent manufacturers recommendations.
NOTE: Not all cycles will allow the use of the
SmartDispense feature. If the light is not illuminated and
pressing the SMART DISPENSE pad results in a beeping
tone, then SmartDispense is not allowed for the cycle
that has been selected. Detergent will need to be added
directly to the detergent compartment for these cycles.
Prewash Compartment
Only use the prewash compartment if you are selecting
the PreWash cycle for heavily soiled clothes. Add measured
detergent or prewash additive to the back left prewash
compartment of the dispenser drawer.
• Detergent or prewash additive is flushed from the
dispenser in the PreWash (if selected).
• Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for water
temperature, water hardness, size and soil level of the
load. Avoid using too much detergent in your washer
as it can lead to over sudsing and detergent residue
being left on the clothes.

Flap Selector
If it is desired to manually add detergent for a
particular load:
1. Press the SMART DISPENSE pad on the control
panel until its light turns off which indicates the
SmartDispense feature has been turned off.
2. Set the flap in the detergent compartment to the
type of detergent to be used - Powder or Liquid.
See the Detergent Compartment section.
3. Add the desired amount of detergent into the
detergent compartment.
If the display indicates that the SmartDispense tank is
estimating there is insufficient detergent to wash a load,
the SmartDispense light will flash. The washer can still
run a cycle, but it suggested that you add detergent
in the manual detergent compartment or refill the
SmartDispense tank.
