■

Open the Detergent Dispenser, add the appropriate amount of detergent, and then 
close the Detergent Dispenser.

The amount of detergent is based on a single 35-gram scoop of powder detergent. 
Since the required amount of detergent varies depending on the type of detergent, 
follow the instructions on the package of detergent.

■

For liquid detergent, follow the instructions on the package and add it to the Detergent 
Dispenser.

■

Add softener to the Softener Dispenser according to the instructions on the package of 
softener. The softener is added to the tub automatically before the fi nal rinse.

For liquid bleach, follow the instructions on the package and add it to the Detergent
