About washer features.

Separate for cleaning

Cleaning the Fabric Softener Dispenser (on some models)

  Remove the dispenser from the top of the agitator.
  Separate the dispenser cup from the cover by grasping the top and pushing down on the 

inside of the cup with your fingers. Dispenser cup will pop free from the cover.

  To clean the dispenser, soak both the dispenser cup and the dispenser cover in the following 

solution:
„

 1 US gallon (3.8 liters) warm water

„

 1/4 cup (60 ml) heavy-duty liquid detergent

„

 1 cup (240 ml) bleach

  If necessary, loosen buildup with a clean, soft cloth after soaking. Do not use a stiff brush; you 

may roughen the surface of the dispenser.

  Rinse and reassemble dispenser. Place dispenser back on the agitator.

The Fabric Softener Dispenser 
The agitator cap
 fits into the top of the agitator. 

If it accidentally comes off, simply put it back 

on.
The fabric softener dispenser automatically 

releases liquid fabric softener at the proper time 

during the cycle. 
Do not stop the washer or raise the lid during 

the first spin. This will cause the dispenser to 

empty too soon.
To use, follow these steps:

  Make sure dispenser is securely attached to 

agitator.

  Use only liquid diluted fabric softener. Pour 

into dispenser, using amount recommended 

on package.

Never pour fabric softener directly on clothes. 

It may stain them.

  Add water to dispenser until it reaches the 

maximum fill line.

Select FABRIC SOFTENER setting knob to 

activate the cycle.

Note: Fabric softener will not dispense if the 

knob is in the “OFF” position.

Do not pour anything into the 

agitator if the agitator cap or 

dispenser is removed.

Liquid Bleach Funnel
The water fill dilutes liquid chlorine bleach as the washer fills for the wash cycle.

  Check clothing care labels for special instructions.
  Measure liquid bleach carefully, following instructions on the bottle.

„

 Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto clothes or into the wash basket.

„

 Do not pour powdered bleach into bleach funnel.

  Before starting the washer, pour measured amount of bleach directly into bleach funnel. Avoid 

splashing or over-filling dispenser. If you prefer to use powdered bleach, add it into the wash 

basket with your detergent.
„

 Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such as vinegar and/or rust remover. 

Mixing can produce a toxic gas which may cause death.
