Main Wash Detergent Compartment
This compartment holds laundry detergent for the main wash
cycle, which is added to the load at the beginning of the
cycle. Always use HE (High-Efficiency) detergent with your
washing machine.
Never exceed the manufacturer's recommendations when
adding detergent. Using too much detergent can result
in detergent buildup in clothing and the washer. Either
powdered or liquid detergent may be used.
NOTE
y Liquid or powdered color-safe bleach may be added
to the main wash compartment with detergent of the
same type.
y When using liquid detergent, make sure the liquid
detergent cup and insert are in place. Do not exceed
the maximum fill line.
y When using powdered detergent, remove the insert
and liquid detergent cup from the compartment.
Powdered detergent will not dispense with the liquid
detergent cup and insert in place.
Fabric Softener Compartment
This compartment holds liquid fabric softener, which will be
automatically dispensed during the final rinse cycle.
NOTE
y Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations
when adding fabric softener. Do not exceed the
maximum fill line. Using too much fabric softener may
result in stained clothes.
y Dilute concentrated fabric softeners with warm water.
Do not exceed the maximum fill line.
y Never pour fabric softener directly onto the load or into
the drum.

Recommended detergent
Make sure to use HE (High-Efficiency) detergent for Top
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 label of the detergent packaging.
NOTE
y Only use HE detergents, since 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.
