Using the Liquid Bleach Dispenser
The bleach dispenser is a separate compartment at the left front of the tub opening.
Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such as vinegar or rust/scale remover. Mixing chemicals like these can produce a lethal gas, resulting in severe injury or death.
Do not add powdered bleach to this dispenser. The bleach dispenser is designed to dispense liquid bleach only. Powdered or liquid color-safe bleach will not dispense properly.
Do not place laundry items on top of the bleach dispenser when loading and unloading the washer.
Never add more than one cup of bleach and do not exceed the maximum fill line since this can cause the bleach to be dispensed immediately. Using too much bleach can damage fabrics.
Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto the load or into the tub. Fabric damage can occur.
Do not use color-safe bleach or Oxi products in the same cycle with liquid chlorine bleach.
Check clothing care labels for special instructions.
Measure liquid bleach carefully, following the instructions on the bottle.
HE (High-Efficiency) washers use less water, so less bleach is needed. One half cup is enough for most loads.
Carefully pour the pre-measured amount of bleach directly into the bleach dispenser.
If you are using powdered bleach of any kind, pour it directly into the tub before adding the laundry.
Never add powdered bleach to the liquid bleach dispenser.
- Automatic Bleach Dispenser
The dispenser is activated twice to ensure complete dispensing of the bleach. Any liquid remaining in the dispenser at the end of the cycle is water, not bleach.
- Immediate Bleach Dispenser
The dispenser cover cannot be removed. To clean the cover, wipe it with a damp paper towel.
On some models, the bleach dispenser is connected to the inlet valve. The bleach is automatically diluted and dispensed at the proper time in the wash cycle.
On some models, when you pour the bleach into the bleach dispenser, the bleach is immediately added to the tub as it fills with water, safely diluting the bleach.
