Using the Dispenser

To add detergent dosage to the dispenser:

  • Open the dispenser drawer.

  • Add the detergent and softener into the appropriate compartments.

    1. Main wash detergent compartment

      • Detergents for the main wash, water softener, bleach and stain remover

    2. Pre-wash detergent compartment

    3. Liquid fabric softener compartment

  • Gently close the detergent dispenser drawer before starting the cycle.

    • Slamming the drawer closed may result in the detergent overflowing into another compartment or dispensing into the drum earlier than programmed.

    • Be careful not to get a hand caught in the drawer while closing.

    • It is normal for a small amount of water to remain in the dispenser compartments at the end of the cycle.

Fabric Softener Compartment

This compartment holds liquid fabric softener, which is automatically dispensed during the final rinse cycle. Either powdered or liquid fabric softener may be used.

  • Pour fabric softener to the maximum fill line. Pouring excessive fabric softener over the maximum fill line can cause it to dispense too early, which may stain the clothes.

Note
  • Do not pour 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 fabric softener in the detergent drawer for more than 1 day. Fabric softener may harden. Softener may remain in the dispenser if it is too thick. The softener should be diluted if the consistency is too thick so that it can flow easily.

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

  • Solvents (benzene, etc.) must never be used.
