HOW TO USE
DETERGENT AND DISPENSER USE
ENGLISH
To add detergent, bleach, and fabric softener to the
automatic dispenser:
Open the dispenser drawer.
Load the laundry products into the appropriate
compartments.
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.
NOTE:
Do not put detergent or other laundry products in the
Prewash compartment. This compartment is not used on this
model.
Filling the Dispenser
Use the DETERGENT AMOUNT INDICATOR to help
determine the correct amount of detergent to use.
Bars light up to indicate the size of dry load sensed by
washer control. Follow detergent manufacturer's
recommendations for amount of detergent based on load
size. Indicator will not be accurate if any wet clothes are
placed in washer.
NOTE:
The Detergent Amount Indicator icon does not
represent an actual detergent measuring cup or cap.
Detergent Amount
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
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.
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.

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.
A Word About Detergents
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 for the HE symbol when
purchasing detergent.
1 bar = small load
2 bars = medium load
3 bars = large load
4 bars = extra-large load
