unsatisfactory.

Additionally, you should never put detergent 

in the prewash compartment unless you are 

using a wash program that has a prewash cycle. 

This could cause excess foaming, which could 

damage the machine. 

The amount of detergent needed can also 

depend on the hardness of the water in your 

area. See the “Detergent Amounts Based on 

Water Hardness” section on the next page for 

more details.
