Fabric Softener Dispenser
(on some models)
The fabric softener dispenser automatically
releases liquid fabric softener . Setting the
knob ensures that it dispenses at the proper
time .
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:
1 Make sure dispenser is securely attached
to agitator .
2 Use only diluted liquid fabric softener .
Pour into dispenser, using amount
recommended on package .
Never pour fabric softener directly on items.
It may stain them.
3 Add water to dispenser until it reaches
the maximum fill line .
Select Fabric Softener or Power Rinse
setting 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 .
