Too little detergent:
The laundry is not cleaned properly and
will eventually become gray and stiff.
Grayish brown spots (fat globules) may
appear on the laundry. The heater may
calcify.
Too much detergent:
Not environmentally friendly, excessive
suds reduce wash agitation producing
poor washing and rinsing results or
may prevent proper spinning.
Filling laundry detergent
and/or additives
q Open the flap of the detergent
dispenser.
q Add the detergent and/or additive.
Dispenser I:
Dispenser for detergent, stain remover.
i
We recommend HE detergents
because they are particularly
designed to deliver optimum
performance from your
front-loading washer. Not
using HE detergent could cause
problems such as oversudsing,
extended cycle periods, or a
decrease in wash performance.
Dispenser II:
Cleaning additives, e.g. fabric softener,
fabric conditioner. Do not fill over edge
of max line!
Dispenser III:
Dispenser for liquid bleach (chlorine
bleach, color safe bleach).
Do not overfill!
i
Concentrated or thick fabric
softener, conditioner and
powder-bleach must be diluted
with a little water before being
poured into the dispenser
(prevents overflow due to
obstruction).
i
Close the flap of the detergent
dispenser. Please ensure the
lid is entirely closed.
Decolorizing

Delicates/Silk settings are intended for
use with delicate easy care items made
of cotton, satin, synthetic, or blended
fabrics and curtains, dresses, skirts
and blouses.
Bulky items, e.g. comforters, can be
washed with this cycle because of
gentle action and additional rinse
(automatically added).
No spinning between rinse cycles.
Hand Wash
Hand Wash settings are intended for
very delicate easy care items that
usually require hand washing.
These cycles have been specifically
designed to provide extremely gentle
treatment of fabrics.

XXTRA SANITARY
This program was specifically designed
to eliminate most common houshold
bacterium while providing gentle
treatment of fabrics. At the beginning
of the washing phase, hot water is
introduced and then the internal
heating element heats the water to
167ºF-174ºF for a minimum of three
minutes. Clothes will be saturated in
the hot water long enough to kill most
common household bacterium, yet
without causing additional wear and
tear to the clothes.
Used for heavily soiled and/or stained
colorfast fabrics that need to be
sanitized, such as, towels, underware,
socks, bed sheets, table clothes, etc.
