Using detergent/fabric softener

Recommended detergent

Low sudsing detergent is recommended for this washer.
Use the manufacturer's recommended amount.
If low sudsing detergent is not available, a reduced amount
of regular detergent may be used.
Because reducing the amount of detergent may reduce
cleaning, it is important to pretreat stains,
sort carefully by color and soil level, and avoid overloading.
Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for water
temperature, water hardness, size and soil level of the load.
For best results, avoid using too much detergent.
NOTE
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.
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 on
the tub, which may not rinse properly.

Loading the dispenser

The detergent dispenser drawer of the washing machine has
a dispenser compartment for each detergent type. Add the
appropriate detergents into its respective compartments.
1
