• Oversudsing

of detergent

° Oversudsing

and may

be caused

by the

type and amount of detergent used. High-efficiency deter-

gent is recommended. Make sure that detergent and any

additives are put into the correct dispenser compartments.

Follow the detergent manufacture's recommendations for the

amount of detergent, but try using less detergent, especially

if home water conditioning or water softening units are used.

° Make sure

that detergent

and additives are put in to the correct

from incorrect

filling

dispenser

compartments.

If liquid detergent

is used, make sure

that the liquid detergent cup and insert are in the detergent

compartment. If powdered detergent is used, make sure that

the liquid detergent cup and insert are not used. For all deter-

gent types, always make sure that the dispenser drawer is fully

closed before the start of the cycle.

• Too much

detergent use

• Make

sure

that the suggested

amount of detergent

is used

per the manufacture's recommendations. You may also

dilute the detergent with water to the maximum fill line on

the compartment to avoid clogging. Use only HE

(High-

Efficiency)

detergent.

NOTE: Always use as little detergent as possible. High effi-

ciency washers need very little detergent to achieve opti-

mum results. Using too much detergent will cause poor wash

and rinse performance.

°Small amounts of residue remaining in the dispenser com- partments are normal. If this residue builds up it can inter- fere with normal dispensing of products. Refer to the clean- ing instructions on page 25.

°You cannot store bleach in the dispenser for future use. The bleach will be dispensed every load.

•Overfilling the dispenser with bleach may lead to premature dispensing. There is a maximum fill line indicated on the bleach dispenser to help avoid overfilling.

°Make sure that the bleach cover is properly seated and snapped into place before the start of the cycle.

°Lift out the bleach dispenser cover and clean out the reser- voir. Lint and other foreign debris that collects in the bottom may prevent proper dispensing of the bleach.

•Heavier soils and tougher stains may require extra cleaning power. Select PRESOAK or STAIN TREAT to boost the cleaning power of the selected cycle.

°Articles that have previously been washed may have stains that have been set. These stains may be difficult to remove and may require hand washing or retreating to aid in stain

removal,
