Using the washer
6. Add detergent
For optimum wash results, it is important to use the correct amount of detergent.
Too little detergent may cause:
–Ineffective cleaning of laundry; fabrics may become gray and stiff over time.
–Grease stains on the laundry.
–Hard water deposits on the heating element.
Too much detergent may cause:
–Oversudsing with minimal drum movement; poor wash, rinse and spin results.
–Higher water consumption through an automatic, additional rinse cycle.
–Higher environmental burden.
