Add HE liquid detergent
The Load & Go™ system allows
you to load a large amount of HE
liquid detergent into your washer
and have it dispense the correct
amount cycle after cycle.
You may also choose the concentration level of the detergent
used. Options for detergent concentration level are 2x through
8x. 2x is the default setting and the standard level for
most detergents.

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. Set the concentration level in the Load & Go™
menu to match the level shown on the bottle.
If the level is not given, it can be easily calculated. Divide the
package size in fluid ounces by the number of loads. Refer to the
chart below to find the concentration.
If you do not get your desired cleaning results, use a lower
concentration. If you have excess suds, use a higher
concentration.

NOTE: The Load & Go™ dispenser is specially designed to hold
enough liquid detergent for multiple loads and does not need to
be refilled every time the washer is used. Only refill the Load &
Go™ dispenser when the level of liquid detergent seen through
the clear drawer is visibly low.
IMPORTANT: Use only High Efficiency liquid detergents. The
Load & Go™ dispsenser does not support powder detergent.
Packages will be marked "HE" or "High Efficiency." Low-water
washing creates excessive sudsing with a regular non-HE
detergent. Using regular detergent will likely result in 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.
HELPFUL TIP: See "Washer Maintenance" for information
on recommended methods for cleaning the Load & Go™
drawer and dispensers.

Using the single-dose liquid

detergent dispenser

Single Dose
Detergent
Pour a measured amount of HE detergent into dispenser; always
follow manufacturer's directions for correct amount of detergent
based on your load size.
IMPORTANT: Using the Load & Go™ detergent dispenser and
the single-dose detergent dispenser at the same time will result
in oversudsing. To use the single-dose detergent dispenser, the
Load & Go™ system must be disabled.

Add liquid chlorine bleach or
Oxi to dispenser
Liquid Chlorine
Bleach
Do not overfill, dilute, or use more than 1 cup (236 mL) of liquid
cholorine bleach. Pour a measured amount of Oxi-type boosters,
into dispenser; always follow manufacturer's directions for
correct amount of Oxi based boosters based on your load size.
Oxi is added during main wash.
IMPORTANT: Do not use color-safe bleach or Oxi products in
the same cycle with liquid chlorine bleach. Oxi option must be
selected to ensure proper distribution at correct time in cycle.
