DETERGENT USE
Your Washer is designed to use high effi ciency (HE) detergents.
•
For best cleaning results, use a high effi ciency detergents such as Tide
HE, Wisk HE, Cheer HE or Gain HE*. High effi ciency detergents contain
suds suppressors that reduce or eliminate suds. When fewer suds are
produced, the load tumbles more effi ciently and cleaning is maximized.
Regular detergent is not recommended. Use HE detergents only.
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.
