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 are low-sudsing
and quick-dispersing to produce the right amount of suds for
the best performance. They hold soil in suspension so it is not
re-deposited onto clean clothes. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions to determine the amount of detergent to use.
Use only High Efficiency (HE) detergent.
