Liquid chlorine bleach compartment

bleach at the optimum time during the first rinse
after the wash cycle. This compartment cannot dilute
powdered bleach.
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 regular non-HE detergent. Using regular
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 are made
to produce the right amount of suds for the best performance.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions to determine the amount
of detergent to use.
Use only High Efficiency (HE) detergent.
The number of loads will vary, depending on detergent concentration,
†
load size, cycle used, and soil level. The maximum capacity of up to
36 loads requires use of 6x concentration detergent.
