Adding Detergent

Add measured detergent to the detergent compartment of the
dispenser drawer.

Detergent is flushed through the dispenser at the beginning of
the wash phase. Either powdered or liquid detergent can be
used, but the drawer insert must be removed to use powder. 

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 oversudsing and detergent residue being left on the clothes.

Adding Fabric Softener

Pour the recommended amount of liquid fabric
softener into the left-hand compartment. Use only liquid fabric
softener.

Dilute with water to the maximum fill line.

Overfilling can cause early dispensing of the fabric softener,
which could stain clothes.

NOTE: Do not pour fabric softener directly on the wash load.

It may stain the clothes.

Adding Wash Boost Additives

The Wash Boost dispenser may be used to clean heavily soiled
or stained garments more efficiently.

If desired, place the additives for the wash boost setting in the
right-hand compartment. Use only liquid additives.

Overfilling can cause early dispensing of presoak additives,
which could result in damaged clothes.

NOTE : Do not pour additives directly on the wash load. It may stain the clothes.
