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 to 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.
Designed to use only HE (High-
Efficiency) detergent
Your Washer is designed to use high efficiency (HE) detergents.
• For best cleaning results, efficiency detergents such as
Tide HE, Wisk HE, Cheer HE or Gain HE*. High efficiency
detergents contain suds suppressors that reduce or eliminate
suds. When fewer suds are produced, the load tumbles more
efficiently and cleaning is maximized.
WARNING:
Regular detergent is NOT recommended. Please
use only HE detergents.
NOTE:
Reducing the amount of detergent may reduce the
quality of cleaning. It is important to pre–treat stains, sort
carefully by color and soil level, and avoid overloading.

IMPORTANT:
Not all detergents are the same. Careful attention
must be paid to the amount of detergent used to avoid
oversudsing, poor rinsing, 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 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.
Filling the Dispenser
To add detergent, bleach, and fabric softener to the automatic
dispenser:
1.
Open the dispenser drawer.
2.
Load the laundry products into the appropriate compartments.
3.
Close 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.
