PREPARATION

Using Detergent/Fabric Softener

Recommended Detergent

Make sure to use HE (High-Efficiency) detergent
for front-loading washing machines. HE
detergents dissolve more efficiently and produce
fewer suds to ensure efficient washing and
rinsing. Use the correct amount of detergent as
indicated on the detergent packaging.
Specially designed to use only
HE (High-Efficiency) detergent
NOTE
y Only use HE detergents, because using a
regular detergent may produce excessive
suds.
y HE detergents produce fewer suds, dissolve
more efficiently to improve washing and
rinsing performance, and help to keep the
interior of your washer clean.
y Use less detergent for soft water.
y Wipe up any spills immediately, as liquids
could damage the finish and the control
panel of the washing machine.
y Using too much detergent can cause a build-
up in the tub resulting in unsatisfactory
performance and machine malfunction.
y If you use a detergent that does not dissolve
easily or a detergent with high viscosity, it
will leave a residue on the tub, which may
not rinse properly.

Loading the Dispenser

The detergent dispenser drawer of the washing
machine has a dispenser compartment for
each detergent type. Add each detergent to its
appropriate compartment.
