DETERGENT AND DISPENSER USE
A Word About Detergents
High-Efficiency (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 detergent that is not HE may cause
oversudsing and unsatisfactory performance which
could result in error codes, cycle failure, and
machine damage.

For proper wash performance, always measure the
detergent using the measurements provided by the
detergent manufacturer.
Filling the Dispenser
To add detergent, bleach, and fabric softener to the
automatic dispenser:
O Open the dispenser drawer.
O Load the laundry products into the
appropriate compartments.
O Close the drawer before starting the cycle.
NOTE: It is normal for a small amount of water to
remain in the bleach and softener compartments 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.
The normal amount of HE detergent needed, for average
loads, is tess than 1/2of 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.

High-Efficiency (HE) 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. Pay
careful attention to the amount of detergent used to
avoid oversudsing, 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 the
one supplied by the manufacturer of the detergent you
are using. Never use more than the maximum amount of
detergent recommended by the manufacturer.
Always measure the detergent amount. While HE
detergents are designed for this type of washing
machine, be careful when measuring the detergent. For
most normal loads, no more than 1/4 to 1/2 of cap 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.
