For best cleaning results, use a high

efficiency detergent such as Tide HE, Wisk HE, Cheer HE or Gain HE_L High efficiency detergents contain suds suppressors which reduce or eliminate suds. When less suds are produced, the load tumbles more efficiendy and cleaning resuks are maximized.

If HE detergent is not available, regular detergent may be used.

ing detergent and color-safe bleach, chlorine bleach and fabric softener, All laundry additives are added to

their respective compartments before starting the
