DETERGENT AND DISPENSER USE
A Word About Detergents
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 non-HE detergent may cause oversudsing and
unsatisfactory performance which could result in error codes,
cycle failure, and machine damage.

I For proper wash performance, always measure the
detergent using the measure provided with the detergent
by the manufacturer.
The normal amount needed for average loads is less than
1/2 of the recommended maximum. Use less detergent for
soft water, light soil or smaller loads. Never use more than
the maximum amount recommended by the detergent
manufacturer.
Filling the Dispenser
To add detergent, bleach, and fabric softener to the
automatic dispenser:
O Open the dispenser lid.
O Load laundry products appropriate
the into the
compartments.
O Close the lid before the
starting cycle.
NOTE: It is normal for a small amount of water to remain in
the bleach and softener oompartments at the end of the
cycle.
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 finish and controls.
NOTE: Do not put detergent or other laundry products in the
Prewash compartment. This compartment is not used on this
model
Designed to use only
HE (High-Efficiency) detergent
IMPORTANT: Your washing machine is designed for use
with only High-Efficiency (HE) detergents. HE detergents are
formulated specifically for front-load washers and contain
suds-reducing agents. Always look for the HE symbol when
purchasing detergent.
IMPORTANT: Not all detergents are the same. Careful
attention must be paid to the amount of detergent used to
avoid overusing, poor rinsing and detergent buildup in
clothing, and residue buildup that can contribute to odors in
the machine. NEVER use a cup or scoop other than that
supplied by the manufacturer of the detergent you are using.
Never use more than the maximum amount recommended
by the manufacturer of the detergent.
While HE detergents are designed for this type of washing
machine, care must be used when measuring the detergent.
For most normal loads, no more than 1/2 to 3/4 of a cup or
scoop of HE detergent should be used.
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.
NOTE: Detergents designated as HE-COMPATIBLE may not
provide optimal results.
