HOW ~CH DETERGENT SHO~D YOU USE?

5.Wash temperature

Use more detergent if you have...

1.Hard water

2.Large loads

3.Greasy or oily soils

How to use detergent— granular or powdered:

For best results, add detergent to the wash basket before loading clothes. If you load your clothes first, add detergent next to the agitator.

If your detergent doesn’t dissolve well, predissolve the detergent in hot water, then pour directly into the wash basket.

To use granular or powdered detergent in the Mini-Basket tub,

put detergent in the bottom of Mini- Basket tub before loading clothes.

To use liquid detergent in regular clothes basket or Mini-Basket tub, follow package directions.
