Preparing
clothes for washing
Follow these recommendations to help you prolong the life of your garments.
Use only
High Efficiency
detergents.
The package
for this type of detergent
will
be marked
"HE" or "High
Efficiency."
This wash system, along with
less water, will create too much
sudsing with
a regular
non-HE
detergent.
Using regular detergent
will
likely
result in
washer
errors, longer
cycle times, and reduced
rinsing
performance.
It may also result in
component
failures
and noticeable
mold or mildew.
HE detergents
are made to produce
the right amount
of suds for the best performance.
Follow
the manufacturer's
instructions
to determine
the amount
of detergent
to use. Remember,
concentrated
detergents
such as
2x or higher will
use less detergent
based on load size.
