Using the washer

6. Add detergent

For optimum wash results, it is important to use the correct amount of detergent.

Too little detergent may cause:

Ineffective cleaning of laundry; fabrics may become gray and stiff over time.

Grease stains on the laundry.

Hard water deposits on the heating element.

Too much detergent may cause:

Oversudsing with minimal drum movement; poor wash, rinse and spin results.

Higher water consumption through an automatic, additional rinse cycle.

Higher environmental burden.
