CHOOSING THE RIGHT DETERGENT

Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package will be
marked "HE" or "High Efficiency." Low-water washing creates
excessive sudsing with a non-HE detergent. Using non-HE
detergent will likely result in longer cycle times and reduced
rinsing performance. It may also result in component failure and,
over time, buildup of mold or mildew. HE detergents should be
low-sudsing and quick-dispersing to produce the right amount
of suds for the best performance. They should hold soil in
suspension so it is not redeposited onto clean clothes. Not all
detergents labeled as High Efficiency are identical in formulation
and their ability to reduce suds. For example, natural, organic,
or homemade HE detergents may generate a high level of suds.
If you use one of these and see an "Sd" or "Sud" error code
appear in the display, consider using a different HE detergent.
Always follow the detergent manufacturer's instructions to
determine the amount of detergent to use. Do not go over the
Max line on the dispenser.

About Detergent Dosing
If you do not get your desired cleaning results, try using a larger
amount of detergent. If you have excess suds, try using less
detergent.
NOTES:
■ A small amount of water may remain in the dispensers from
the previous wash cycle. This is normal.
■ To add single-dose and Oxi-type boosters, see the "Using
Your Washer" section.
Cycle Details:
This short wash cycle
**
has an extra-high-
speed spin followed by
intermittent tumbling and
fan activation to circulate
air through the clothes.
Use Drain & Spin to
remove excess water
from the load. Spin
speed can be set to a
lower setting.
Use this cycle every 30
washes to keep the inside
of your washer fresh and
clean. This cycle uses a
higher water level. Use with
affresh washer cleaner tablet
or liquid chlorine bleach to
thoroughly clean the inside
of your washer. This cycle
should not be interrupted.
See "Washer Care."
IMPORTANT: Do not place
garments or other items
in the washer during the
Clean Washer with affresh
cycle. Use this cycle with
an empty wash tub. See
"Washer Care" in "Washer
Maintenance."
