Your washer is designed to use either
high efficiency (HE) detergents or
regular detergents normally used with
top=loading washers.
For best cleaning results, use a high efficiency
detergent such asTide HE orWisk HE. High
efficiency detergents contain suds suppressors
which reduce or eliminate suds.When less suds
are produced, the load tumbles more efficiently
and cleaning results are maximized.
When using regular detergent formulated for
top=loading washers, it is important to pay close
attention to the soil level of the load, load size
and water hardness _'_'.To avoid over-
sudsing_ reduce the amount of
detergent used with soft water or with
small or lightly soiled loads.
1. Pour the recommended amount of laundry
detergent directly into the detergent compartment
before starting the washer or as it is filling.
2. If color-safe bleach is to be used, it should be
added with detergent to the detergent
compartment for best results.
oWhen adding color-safe bleach with detergent, it
is best if both laundry products are in the same
form; granular or liquid.
The automatic dispenser consists of three
compartments which hold U) liquid or granular
detergent and color safe bleach, 2) liquid chlorine
bleach and 3) liquid fabric softener. All laundry
products can be added at once in their respective
dispenser compartments.They will be dispensed at
the appropriate time for most effective cleaning.
After loading the laundry additives into the dispenser,
close the dispenser lid.

Add chlorine bleach to the bleach compartment.
Do not exceed the HAX FiLL line.The liquid
chlorine bleach compartment will hold 3/4 of a
cup.
Avoid splashing or over-filling the compartment.
Over-filling the compa_ment will
release the liquid chlorine bleach into
the washer too early,
The washer automatically dispenses bleach into
the tub at the appropriate time in the wash cycle.
The dispenser automatically dilutes liquid chlorine
bleach before it reaches the wash load.
NOTES:
Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach
directly onto the load or into the tub. [t is a
powerful chemical and can cause fabric
damage, such as weakening of the fibers or
color loss, if not used properly=
" If you prefer to use color-safe, non-chlorine
bleach, add it to the detergent compartment.
Do not pour color-safe bleach into

Pour the recommended amount of liquid fabric
softener into the softener compartment. For
smaller loads use less than one capful.
Fabric softener should be diluted with warm
water until it reaches the HAX FILL line on the
compartment. Do not fill above the MAX
FILL line. If the compartment is filled
above the MAX FILL line, fabric
softener will enter the washer too early,
This compartment automatically releases liquid
fabric softener at the proper time during the
rinse cycle.
