High-efficiency detergents are
specifically designed for low-water
washers to provide excellent stain
removal and whitening without
oversudsing. Using a regular
detergent in this washer will likely
result in washer errors, longer cycle
times, reduced rinsing and cleaning
performance, and/or oversudsing.
Plus, using a regular detergent in this
washer can cause clothes to yellow
and look dingy over time. Only use
a detergent that bears the high-
efficiency mark, like Tide
®
HE.
As with any washer or dryer, leveling
the appliance is necessary. And
because the Duet
®
and Duet HT
®
washers reach final spin speeds of up
to 1000 and 1200 RPMs, it's even
more important to level the product
to avoid excessive noise and
vibrations. You can find detailed
leveling instructions in your Use
and Care Guide.
If installing the washer and dryer
with pedestals, you will complete
leveling with the pedestal feet. Keep
the pedestal drawer out during
installation so that you can easily
reach and adjust the rear feet. Once
the appliance is level, ensure that all
four feet are in firm contact with the
floor and tighten each foot’s locking
nut to the washer/pedestal base.
Even if you are not completing installation yourself, it’s good to familiarize
yourself with these important steps to ensure proper set-up.
