DETERGENT
USE
Designed
to use only
HE (High-Efficiency)
detergent
IMPORTANT: Your washing machine is designed for use
with only High-Efficiency (HE) detergents. HE detergents are
formulated specifically for front-load washers and contain
suds-reducing agents. Always look for the HE symbol when
purchasing detergent.
A WordAbout
Detergents
HE detergents produce fewer suds, dissolve more efficiently
to improve washing and rinsing performance, and help to
keep the interior of your washer clean.
Using non-HE detergent may cause oversudsing and
unsatisfactory performance which could result in error codes,
cycle failure, and machine damage.
IMPORTANT: Not all detergents are the same. Careful
attention must be paid to the amount of detergent used to
avoid oversudsing, poor rinsing and detergent buildup in
clothing, and residue buildup that can contribute to odors in
the machine. NEVER use a measure other than that supplied
by the detergent manufacturer of the detergent you are using.
NEVER use more than the maximum amount recommended
by the manfacturer. While HE detergents are designed for
this type of washing machine, care must be used when
measuring the detergent. For most normal loads, no more
than 1/2 to 3/4 of a measure of HE detergent should be used.
Extra care must be exercised when using 2X and 3X
concentrates because even a little bit extra can cause the
problems mentioned above.
IMPORTANT: Do not place or store laundry products, such
as detergent, bleach, or liquid fabric softener, on top of your
washer or dryer. Wipe up any spills immediately. These
products can damage the finish and controls.
NOTE: Detergents designated as HE-COMPATIBLE
may
not provide optimal results.
Load Sizing
This washer is equipped with a feature that will tell you how
big the load is so you can use the correct amount of
detergent. To take advantage of this feature, use the

Using the steps on page 13, sort and load the washer.
Select the cycle, modifiers and options.
Close the door and start the cycle.
The washer will briefly tumble the load to measure its
weight, then display the size in the LOAD SENSING
display.
Press the Cycle Selector Knob to pause the cycle.
Add the recommended amount of HE detergent based
on the size of the load. For one light, use only about
1/16 of the full measure for your detergent. For 4 lights,
use about half the detergent manufacturers
recommended measure. Never use more than
recommended by the detergent manufacturer.
Press the Cycle Selector Knob to restart the cycle.
Using this feature can help you get the best wash
performance by guiding you to use the correct amount of
detergent. Too little detergent can result in poor cleaning, and
too much detergent can result in poor rinsing. This causes
detergent buildup in the laundry, contributing to
unpleasant reactions, and in the machine, which can
contribute to odor problems.
