ADDING DETERGENT
1. Open the detergent drawer and then add the powder detergent into the detergent compartment.

• Use a reasonable amount of detergent. If you use more detergent than the standard quantity or the water temperature is too low and the detergent does not dissolve in the water completely causing it to remain on the laundry and in the hose and tub, it may cause damage such as dirtying and discoloring the laundry.
• If you use a powder detergent and it remains on the laundry, it may cause a bad odor. Rinse the laundry sufficiently in fresh water.

ADDING FABRIC SOFTENER
1. When the proper amount (one time dose) of fabric softener is stored in the softener inlet, it is automatically added during the last rinse cycle.
2. Do not add detergent, bleach or starch into the softener inlet.
3. Using too much softener may produce unsatisfactory results.
