14 OPERATION-WASHER
Small Items
• Do not wash a single small item. Add enough
similar items to the load to prevent an out-of-
balance load.
• Wash small, light items in a mesh bag. Small
items can get caught in the door seal, and
brassiere hooks can snag on other clothing or
the drum.

About Detergent Use
This washer is designed for use with only HE (High-
Efficiency) detergents.
• HE detergents produce fewer suds, dissolve
more efficiently to improve washing and rinsing
performance, and help to keep the interior of
the washer clean. Using detergent that is not HE
may cause oversudsing and unsatisfactory
performance which could result in error codes,
cycle failure, and washer damage.
• Detergents designated as HE-compatible may
not provide optimal results.
• For proper wash performance when using the
manual dispensers, always measure detergent
using the measuring device provided by the
detergent manufacturer. For an average load,
use less than half of the recommended
maximum. Use less detergent for soft water,
light soil, or smaller loads.
• Use extra care when measuring 2X and 3X
concentrated detergents because even a small
amount of extra detergent can lead to problems.
• Never use more than the maximum amount of
detergent recommended by the manufacturer.
Using too much detergent can lead to
oversudsing, poor rinsing, detergent buildup in
clothing, and residue buildup that can contribute
to odors in the washer.

Single-Use Detergent Packs / Gel or
Tablet Detergents
• Do not use more than one single-use detergent
pack 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, select the Extra
Rinse option.
• Place liquid or powdered detergent packs, or gel
or tablet detergents in the tub before loading
laundry. Do not place these detergents in the
dispenser.
Using the ezDispense Function
When the ezDispense function is turned on, the
liquid detergent and softener are dispensed in the
set amounts, at the appropriate time during the
cycle.
• A full detergent reservoir will last for about 18
standard cycles, with the drum filled about
halfway.
• The default settings are configured to dispense
1.5 oz (45 ml) of detergent and 1 oz (30 ml) of
softener for 9-13 lb (4-6 kg) of normally soiled
laundry. This can be changed using the
Detergent Dispense or Softener Dispense
setting. For more details, see "Settings" section.
