ABOUT DETERGENT CONCENTRATION

Today's liquid HE detergents are concentrated. Most brands of
concentrated HE detergent will show the level of concentration on
the bottle. If so, simply set the concentration level in the Optimal
Dispense menu to match the level shown on the bottle.
However, if the detergent bottle does not give the concentration, it
can be easily calculated. Just divide the package size in fluid ounces
by the number of loads. Then refer to the chart below to find the
concentration.
If you do not get your desired cleaning results, try using a lower
concentration number. If you have excess suds, try using a higher
concentration number.
