HOW TO USE

DETERGENT AND DISPENSER USE

A Word About Detergents

High-Efficiency (HE) detergents produce fewer suds, dissolve more efficiently to improve washing and rinsing performance, and help to keep the interior of your washer clean. Using detergent that is not HE may cause oversudsing and unsatisfactory performance which could result in error codes, cycle failure, and machine damage.

For proper wash performance, always measure the detergent using the measurements provided by the detergent manufacturer.

The normal amount of HE detergent needed, for average loads, is less than ½ of the recommended maximum. Use less detergent for soft water, light soil or smaller loads. Never use more than the maximum amount recommended by the detergent manufacturer.

Designed to use only

High-Efficiency (HE) detergent

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.

IMPORTANT: Not all detergents are the same. Pay careful attention to the amount of detergent used to avoid oversudsing, poor rinsing and detergent buildup in clothing, and residue buildup that can contribute to odors in the machine. NEVER use a cup or scoop other than the one supplied by the manufacturer of the detergent you are using. Never use more than the maximum amount of detergent recommended by the manufacturer.

Always measure the detergent amount. While HE detergents are designed for this type of washing machine, be careful when measuring the detergent. For most normal loads, no more than ¼ to ½ of cap 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.

Detergent Amount

For proper wash performance, always measure the detergent using the measurements provided by the detergent manufacturer.

Filling the Dispenser

To add detergent, bleach, and fabric softener to the automatic dispenser:

1Open the dispenser drawer.

2Load the laundry products into the appropriate compartments.

3Close the drawer before starting the cycle.

NOTE: It is normal for a small amount of water to remain in the bleach and softener compartments at the end of the cycle.

IMPORTANT: Do not place or store laundry products, such as detergent, bleach, or liquid fabric softener, on top of your washer or dryer. Wipe up any spills immediately. These products can damage the finish and controls.
