Adding HE detergent to dispenser
Pour a measured amount of HE
detergent into detergent compartment.
Do not overll; adding too much
detergent may cause detergent to be
dispensed into the washer too early.
IMPORTANT:
Do not add single-dose laundry
packet to dispenser drawer.
Use powdered detergent when using the Delay Wash
option. Liquid detergent may seep out before the wash
begins.
Adding the proper amount of detergent
Only use detergent manufacturer’s recommended
quantity of detergent (HE liquid or HE powder).
If the PreWash option is selected, split the detergent dose
between the Prewash and Main Wash compartments.
Use only High Efficiency
(HE) detergent.
Using the Dispenser Drawer
1. Open the dispenser drawer.
2. Add laundry products as described in steps 4–6
in the “Using Your Washer” section.
3. Slowly close the dispenser drawer. Make sure it is
completely closed.
NOTE: A small amount of water may remain in the dispensers
from the previous wash cycle. This is normal.
IMPORTANT: Do not use chlorine bleach in this washer.
Choosing the Right Detergent
Use only High Efciency detergents. The package will be marked
“HE” or “High Efciency.” 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 malfunction 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 Efciency 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.
Always follow the detergent manufacturer’s instructions to
determine the amount of detergent to use.
Use only High Efficiency
(HE) detergent.
About Detergent Concentration
Today’s liquid HE detergents are concentrated. Most brands of
concentrated HE detergent will show the level of concentration
on the bottle.
However, if the detergent bottle does not give the concentration,
it can be easily calculated. Just divide the package size in uid
ounces by the number of loads. Then refer to the chart below
to nd the concentration.
If you do not get your desired cleaning results, try using a lower
concentration number. If you have excess suds, try using a
higher concentration number.
Concentration Number of ounces ÷ number of loads
2X 1.5–2.49 (44.4 ml–73.6 ml)
3X 0.9–1.49 (26.6 ml–44.1 ml)
4X 0.7–0.89 (20.7 ml–26.3 ml)
5X 0.5–0.69 (14.8 ml–20.4 ml)
6X 0.3–0.49 (8.9 ml–14.5 ml)
