IMPORTANT: Your washing machine is designed for use with only High-Efficiency (HE) detergents. HE detergents are formulated specifically for front-load washers and contain suds-reducing agents. Always look for the HE symbol when purchasing detergent.

While HE detergents are designed for this type of washing machine, care must be used when measuring the detergent. For most normal loads, no more than 1/2 to 3/4 of a cup or scoop of HE detergent should be used.

NOTE: Extra care must be exercised when using 2X and 3X concentrated detergents because even a little bit extra can contribute to the problems mentioned above.

NOTE: Detergents designated as HE-COMPATIBLE may not provide optimal results.
