Choosing The Right Detergent; Using The Load & Go Bulk Dispenser - Whirlpool WFC8090GX Manual De Uso Y Cuidado E Instrucciones De Instalación

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 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 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.
Always follow the detergent manufacturer's instructions to
determine the amount of detergent to use.
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 fluid
ounces by the number of loads. Then refer to the chart below
to find the concentration.
Set the concentration level setting on the washer/dryer by
using the Tools button (see Step 11 in the on page 62). If you do
not get your desired cleaning results, set the concentration level
to a lower concentration number. If you have excess suds, set the
concentration level to 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)
Use only High Efficiency
(HE) detergent.
Using the Load & Go
Bulk Dispenser
Follow the steps below to fill the Load & Go bulk dispenser
when using the washer for the first time, or when the low
detergent icon or low fabric softener icon
indicate that the detergent or fabric softener level is running low.
1. Open the bulk container lid on the top of the washer/dryer.
2. Lift the fill door on the
Liquid Detergent dispenser
(Dispenser 1). Add liquid HE
detergent up to the "MAX"
line. Do not overfill. Close the
fill door. It will click into place.
NOTE: If Dispenser 1 is empty,
you may choose to add only
enough liquid HE detergent
for one load.
3. Lift the fill door on the Liquid
Fabric Softener dispenser
(Dispenser 2). Add liquid fabric
softener up to the "MAX" line.
Do not overfill. Close the fill
door. It will click into place.
NOTE: If Dispenser 2 is empty,
you may choose to add only
enough liquid fabric softener
for one load
4. Slowly close the bulk
container lid. Make sure
it is completely closed.
5. Make sure that the bulk
dispenser is active. Use
the Tools button to make sure that
both Dispenser 1 and Dispenser 2
are active and that the detergent
concentration is correct. See
Step 11 on page 62.
NOTES:
■ Dispenser 2 may be used as a second Liquid HE Detergent
dispenser. Use the Tools button (go to "Load & Go
Dispenser 2") to change the content in Dispenser 2 and
set the detergent concentration. Make sure that the other
dispenser is disabled.
■ The entire Load & Go bulk container can be easily removed
for ease of cleaning.
■ Thoroughly clean the Liquid Detergent dispenser (Dispenser 1)
before switching to a different brand of detergent.
■ Thoroughly clean the Liquid Fabric Softener dispenser
(Dispenser 2) before switching from liquid fabric softener to
liquid detergent, before switching back from liquid detergent
to liquid fabric softener, or before switching to a different
brand of detergent.
IMPORTANT:
■ Do not use chlorine bleach in this
washer/dryer. Chlorine bleach will
damage it.
■ Do not add a single-dose laundry packet to the bulk
dispenser.
■ Do not use powdered HE detergent in the bulk dispenser.
