Choosing the Right Detergent
Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package will be marked
“HE” or “High Efficiency.” Low-water washing creates excessive
sudsing with a non-HE detergent. Using non-HE detergent
will likely result in longer cycle times and reduced rinsing
performance. It may also result in component malfunction and,
over time, buildup of mold or mildew. HE detergents should be
low-sudsing and quick-dispersing to produce the right amount
of suds for the best performance. They should hold soil in
suspension so it is not redeposited onto clean clothes. Not all
detergents labeled as High Efficiency are identical in formulation
and their ability to reduce suds. For example, natural, organic,
or homemade HE detergents may generate a high level of suds.
Always follow the detergent manufacturer’s instructions to
determine the amount of detergent to use.
Use only High
Efficiency (HE)
detergent.
About Detergent Concentration
Today’s liquid HE detergents are concentrated. Most brands of
concentrated HE detergent will show the level of concentration
on the bottle.
However, if the detergent bottle does not give the concentration,
it can be easily calculated. Just divide the package size in fluid
ounces by the number of loads. Then refer to the chart below
to find the concentration.
Set the concentration level setting on the washer/dryer by
using the Tools button (see Step 12 in the “Using the All-In-One
Washer/Dryer” section). If you do not get your desired cleaning
results, set the concentration level to a lower concentration
number. If you have excess suds, set the concentration level
to a higher concentration number.

Government energy certifications were based on the REGULAR (WHAT TO WHAT), NORMAL (HOW TO WASH), DRYING MODE -
AUTO DRYING OFF, TIMED DRYING 4 HOURS, DRYING ONLY ON CYCLE - DRYING TEMPERATURE SETTING NON - SELECTABLE.
The as-shipped defaults of REGULAR (WHAT TO WASH), NORMAL (HOW TO WASH), WARM TEMP, SPIN SPEED FAST, DRYING
MODE - AUTO DRYING OFF, TIMED DRYING OFF, DRYING ONLY OFF were not used for energy testing.
* This cycle eliminates 99.9% of the most common bacteria found in clothes, sheets, and towels. Using the highest wash temperature available and
adding a powdered Oxi product in the drum ensures sanitization. Check recommended wash temperature of your items and use the amount of Oxi
recommended by the manufacturer. Bacteria tested were K. pneumonia, P. aureginosa, and S. aureus.
