20 OPERATION
Using the Liquid Bleach Dispenser
The bleach dispenser is a separate compartment at
the left front of the tub opening.
Type 1
The bleach dispenser is connected to the inlet valve.
The bleach is automatically diluted and dispensed at
the proper time in the wash cycle.
NOTE
• 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.
Type 2
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.
NOTE
• The dispenser cover cannot be removed. To clean
the cover, wipe it with a damp paper towel.
1
Check clothing care labels for special instructions.
2
Measure liquid bleach carefully, following
instructions on the bottle.
• High-efficiency washers use less water, so less
bleach is needed. One half cup is enough for
most loads.
3
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.
WARNING
• 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.
NOTE
• 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.
• Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations
when adding bleach. Never add more than one cup
and do not exceed the maximum fill line since this
can cause the bleach to be dispensed immediately,
resulting in damage to fabrics. 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.
