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.
Adding Laundry Products
Adding HE detergent to basket:
Single-dose laundry packets,
Oxi-type boosters, color-safe
bleach, or scented crystals can be
added to the drum prior to adding
laundry. When using single-dose
laundry packets, make sure that the
bulk dispenser is disabled (on
some models) or off.
NOTE: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to determine the
amount of laundry products to use.
Adding liquid chlorine bleach to single-load dispenser:
Add liquid chlorine bleach to
the bleach compartment. Do
not overfill, dilute, or use more
than 2/3 cup (165 mL). Do not
use color-safe bleach or Oxi in
the same cycle with liquid
chlorine bleach.
IMPORTANT:
� Always measure liquid chlorine bleach. Use a measuring cup
with a pour spout; do not guess.
� Do not fill beyond the “MAX” line. Overfilling could cause
garment damage.
� Do not use thickened, easy-pour, or no-splash bleach when
running the Clean Washer with affresh
®
✝
cycle, as excess suds
may occur.
� On some models: Do not add liquid chlorine bleach to the bulk
dispenser.
� Slowly close dispenser drawers. Make sure the drawers are
closed completely (on some models).
Adding liquid fabric softener to single-load dispenser:
Pour a measured amount of
liquid fabric softener into liquid
fabric softener compartment.
Always follow manufacturer’s
directions for correct amount
of fabric softener, based on
your load size. Disable the
1 Liter Load & Go™ dispenser
if not used to dispense
detergent (on some models).
Fabric softener is always dispensed in the last rinse, even if
Extra Rinse is selected.
IMPORTANT: Do not overfill, dilute, or use more than the
manufacturer-recommended quantity of fabric softener. Do not fill
past the “MAX” line. Overfilling dispenser will cause fabric softener
to immediately dispense into washer.
� Do not spill or drip any fabric softener onto the clothes.
� Do not use liquid fabric softener dispenser balls in this washer.
They will not dispense correctly.
� Do not use fabric softener sheets, as they can stain the load.
Adding HE detergent to Optimal Dispense Drawer (on some
models):
This compartment holds up to
14.3 oz (424 ml) of liquid HE detergent
allowing you to avoid having to refill
detergent for each load. Also, this
will use just the right amount of
detergent required for a particular
load/cycle.
NOTE: Do not add single-dose laundry packets, Oxi-type
boosters, color-safe bleach, or fabric softener crystals to
dispensers. They will not dispense correctly. The Optimal
Dispense Drawer cannot be disabled.
The dispenser must be emptied of the current detergent if a
different detergent/no detergent is desired. The Optimal Dose
Dispenser functions only with liquid detergents.
When detergent in the bulk dispenser is running low, the display
will flash “Detergent Low”. This will still flash on the display if the
Optimal Dose Dispenser is not in use.
Detergent concentration settings are based on the concentration
level of the HE detergent being used. Check detergent bottle.
Hold down the temp + soil level buttons to change the
concentration level. The default is set to 2X.
Adding HE detergent to Load & Go™™ dispenser (on some
models):
Use only High Efficiency (HE) liquid detergents. The bulk
dispensers will hold about 67.6 oz (2 L) or 33.8 oz (1 L) of liquid
HE detergent, depending on dispenser, or enough for many loads
of laundry.
