oversudsing and unsatisfactory performance which
could result in error codes, cycle failure, and
machine damage.

Normal Load Amount
Liquid
Detergent
For proper wash performance, always measure the
detergent using the measuring device provided by
the detergent manufacturer.
The normal amount of HE detergent needed, for average
loads, is less than ½ 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.
IMPORTANT: Your washing machine is designed for
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 ¼ to ½ of cap or
scoop of HE detergent should be used.
NOTE: Extra care must be exercised when using
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.
