PREPARATION

Using detergent/fabric softener

Recommended detergent

Make sure to use HE (High-Efficiency) detergent
for front-loading washing machines. HE detergents
dissolve more efficiently and produce fewer suds to
ensure efficient washing and rinsing. Use the correct
amount of detergent as indicated on the label of the
detergent packaging.
Do not use more than one detergent pod in the
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 specially to use only
HE (High-Efficiency) detergent
NOTE
y Only use HE detergents, because using a
regular detergent may produce excessive suds.
y HE detergents produce fewer suds, dissolve
more efficiently to improve washing and rinsing
performance, and help to keep the interior of
your washer clean.
y Use less detergent for soft water.
y Wipe up any spills immediately, as liquids could
damage the finish and the control panel of the
washing machine. If you do not wipe up any
spills with a soft cloth, the cycle and option
selections of the control panel may not operate.
y Using too much detergent can cause a build-
up in the tub resulting in unsatisfactory
performance and machine malfunction.
y If you use a detergent that does not dissolve
easily or a detergent with high viscosity, it will
leave a residue and clog on the dispenser.
y Dilute concentrated detergents with water; it
will leave a residue on the tub and may not
rinse properly.

a dispenser compartment for each detergent type.
