Adding Detergent and Softener

Using the Dispenser

  • Slide open the drawer.

  • Add the detergent and softener into the appropriate compartments.

    1. Liquid detergent compartment

    2. Liquid fabric softener compartment

    Note
    • Do not fill the detergent and fabric softener dispensers over the maximum fill line. Doing so can cause them to dispense too early, which can stain clothing.

    • Do not use liquid chlorine bleach or powdered bleach in the pedestal washer. To bleach items, use the full-size washer and follow the instructions in the owner's manual included with that machine.

  • Gently slide the drawer closed before starting the wash cycle.

Note
  • Less detergent is required for lightly soiled items. Please use the appropriate amount of detergent in the Mini Washer. If you use too much detergent, excessive bubbles will remain after rinsing.

  • Do not pour liquid detergent and fabric softener directly onto the clothes in the wash drum. Doing so will cause dark staining on the clothes that will be difficult to remove.

  • Do not leave the liquid detergent and liquid fabric softener in the dispenser for more than 1 day. Detergent and softener may harden. Very thick liquids may not dispense completely. Dilute detergents or softeners that are too thick so they flow more easily.

  • Do not open the drawer when water is being supplied during the wash.

  • Do not use solvents such as benzene in the washer.
