HOW TO USE

DETERGENT AND DISPENSER USE

A Word About Detergents

HE detergents produce fewer suds, dissolve more

efficiently

to improve

washing

and rinsing performance, and

help

keep the interior of your

washer

clean.

Using

non-HE detergent 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 measure provided with the detergent

by the manufacturer.

The normal amount needed for average loads is less than

1/2

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.

i¡^

Designed to use only
HE (High-Efficiency) 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 (or the HE symbol when

purchasing detergent.

IMPORTANT:

Not all detergents are the same. Careful

attention must be paid to the amount of detergent used to
avoid overusing, 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 that

supplied by the manufacturer of the

detergent

you are using.

Never use more than the maximum amount recommended

by the manufacturer of the detergent.

While HE detergents are designed for this type of washing

machine, care must be used when measuring the detergent.
For most normal loads, no more than 1 /2 to 3/4 of a cup or

scoop of HE detergent should be used.

NOTE:

Extra care must be exercised when using

and 3X

concentrated detergents because even

little bit

extra can

contribute to the problems mentioned above.

NOTE:

Detergents designated as

HE-COMPATIBLE

may not

provide optimal results.

Filling the Dispenser

To add detergent, bleach, and fabric softener to the

automatic dispenser:

^ Open the dispenser lid.

Q Load the laundry products into the appropriate

compartments.

e Close the lid before starting the cycle.

NOTE:

It is normal for a small amount of water to remain in

the bleach and softener oompartments 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.

NOTE:

Do not put detergent or other laundry products in the

Prewash compartment. This compartment is not used on this
