HOW TO USE
DETERGENT AND DISPENSER USE
A WORD ABOUT DETERGENTS
High-Efficiency (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 detergent that is not HE may cause
oversudsing and unsatisfactory performance which could
result in error codes, cycle failure, and machine damage.
This machine requires very little detergent. For proper
wash performance, always use the dispenser and
measuring device provided with the machine.
The dispenser holds a maximum of 2 teaspoons (10g/10cc)
of HE detergent. Most normal loads require only
1 teaspoon (5g/5cc) of detergent, or filling the dispenser
to the halfway line.
Do not use a full detergent pod in the pedestal washer.
Using too much detergent may cause oversudsing and
unsatisfactory performance. Reduce detergent amount or
add an extra rinse if detergent residue is left on fabrics.
To add an extra rinse, press the Extra Rinse button.
DESIGNED TO USE ONLY
HIGH-EFFICIENCY (HE)
DETERGENT
IMPORTANT: Your washing machine is designed for use
with only High-Effi ciency (HE) detergents. HE detergents
are formulated specifi cally for High- Effi ciency washers
and contain suds-reducing agents. Always look for the HE
symbol when purchasing detergent.
IMPORTANT: Not all detergents are the same. Pay
careful attention to the amount of detergent used to avoid
oversudsing, poor rinsing and detergent buildup in clothing,
and residue buildup that can contribute to odors in the
machine. The maximum measure on the dispenser provided
should only be used for very large loads. Using too much
detergent can result in detergent buildup in the washer and
in your clothes.
Always measure the detergent amount. While HE
detergents are designed for this type of washing
machine, be careful when measuring the detergent. For
most normal loads, no more than 1 teaspoon or half the
provided dispenser/measuring device of HE detergent
should be used.
Max load
(2 tsp., 10 g)
Normal
(1 tsp., 5 g)
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.
• Detergents designated as HE compatible may not provide
optimal results.
USING THE DETERGENT
Slide the drawer open, open the lid, and add the
1
garments into the tub.
Measure the detergent with the detergent dispenser and
2
pour it into the tub.
Close the lid, slide the drawer closed, and press the

START/PAUSE button to start the cycle.
NOTE: Liquid chlorine bleach or powdered bleach
cannot be used in the pedestal washer. To use bleach,
use the full-size washer and follow instructions in the
owner's manual for that machine.
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 fi nish and controls.
USING BLEACH
Do not use liquid chlorine bleach or powdered bleach in the
pedestal washer. To bleach items, use the full-size washer
and follow the instructions in the owner's manual included
with that machine.
USING FABRIC SOFTENER
The pedestal washer chimes repeatedly before the fi nal
rinse so liquid fabric softener can be added to the load, if
desired. Use 1/4 the amount of softener recommended by
the manufacturer for a normal load. When the machine
chimes, press Start/Pause to pause the cycle.
Slide the drawer open, open the lid, and add the liquid
1
fabric softener to the detergent dispenser. The softener
can also be diluted with water and added directly into
the tub. Do not pour undiluted softener directly onto
clothing because it may stain fabrics.
Close the lid, slide the drawer closed, and press
2
Start/Pause to restart the cycle.
To disable or enable the fabric softener alert, press and
3
hold the Warm Water and Extra Rinse buttons at the
same time for three seconds.
If you miss the softener add point:
Press the Power button to interrupt the cycle.
1
Select the Rinse & Spin cycle and press Start/Pause to
2
start the cycle.
Add the fabric softener at the chimes following
3
instructions above.
