CONTROL PANEL AND FEATURES

Choosing the Right Detergent

Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package will be marked “HE” or “High Efficiency.” Low-water washing creates excessive sudsing with a non-HE detergent. Using non-HE detergent

will likely result in longer cycle times and reduced rinsing performance. It may also result in component failure and, over time, buildup of mold or mildew. HE detergents are low-sudsing and quick-dispersing to produce the right amount of suds for the best performance. They hold soil in suspension so it is not re-deposited onto clean clothes. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to determine the amount of detergent to use.

Use only High Efficiency (HE) detergent.

Efficiency Monitor

The Efficiency Monitor allows you to see how the settings you select affect your energy savings. To use the Efficiency Monitor, choose the best cycle, temperature, spin speed, and options for the fabrics being washed. The Efficiency Monitor will rate the water and energy use of those selections, from Good to Best. You can then adjust the settings and options to decrease the amount of energy used within that cycle.

IMPORTANT:

nDo not add single-dose laundry packet to dispenser drawer.

nUse powdered detergent when using the Delay Wash option. Liquid detergent may seep out before the wash begins.
