16 PREPARATION
For proper
wash
performance,
always
measure
the
detergent
using the
measuring
device
provided
by
the detergent
manufacturer.
The
normal
amount
of HE detergent
needed,
for
average
loads,
is less than
1/2of the recommended
maximum.
Use less
detergent
for soft
water,
light
soil or
smaller
loads.
Never
use
more
than
the
maximum
amount
recommended
by the detergent
manufacturer.
DESIGNED
TO USE ONLY
HIGH-EFFICIENCY
(HE)
DETERGENT
IMPORTANT:
Your washing
machine
is designed
for
use with
only High-Efficiency
(HE) detergents.
HE
detergents
are formulated
specifically
for High-Effi-
ciency
washers
and contain
suds-reducing
agents.
Always
look for the
HE symbol
when
purchasing
detergent.
IMPORTANT:
Not all detergents
are the same.
Pay
careful
attention
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
cup
or scoop
other
than
the
one
supplied
by the
manufacturer
of the detergent
you are using.
Never
use more
than
the maximum
amount
of detergent
recommended
by the manufacturer.
A full scoop
or
measure
of detergent
should
only be used for very
large and heavily
soiled
loads.
Using too
much
de-
tergent
can result
in detergent
buildup
in the washer
and in your clothes.
Always
measure
the detergent
amount.
While
HE
detergents
are designed
for this type
of washing
machine,
be careful
when
measuring
the detergent.
For most normal
loads, no more
than 1/4 to 1/2
of a
cap or scoop
of HE detergent
should
be used.
NOTE:
e
Extra care
must
be exercised
when
using
2X
and 3X concentrated
detergents
because
even
a little
bit extra can contribute
to the problems
mentioned
above.
Detergents
designated as HE-compatible
may
not provide optimal results.
USING
THE SOFTENER
AND DETERGENT
DISPENSER
To add detergent,
bleach,
and fabric
softener
to the
automatic
dispenser:
1. Open
the dispenser
drawer.
2. Load
the
laundry
products
into
the
appropriate
compartments.
3. Close
the drawer
before
starting
the cycle.
4. If using
fabric
softener
on NORMAL
or HEAVY
DUTY cycles,
press
the FABRIC
SOFTENER
but-
ton or select
the EXTRA RINSE option.
NOTE:
It is normal
for a small
amount
of water
to
remain
in the bleach
and softener
compartments
at
the end of the cycle.
IMPORTANT:
Do not place
or store
laundry
prod-
ucts,
such as detergent,
bleach,
or liquid fabric
soft-
ener,
on top of your
washer
or dryer.
Wipe
up any
spills immediately.
These
products
can damage
the
finish and controls.
USING
THE LIQUID
BLEACH
DISPENSER
Bleach
The bleach dispenser automatically dilutes and dis-
penses liquid bleach at the proper time in the wash
cycle.
1. Check clothing care labels for special instructions.
2. Measure liquid bleach carefully, following instruc-
tions on the bottle. High-efficiency washers use
less water, so less bleach is needed. One half cup is
enough for most loads.
3. Carefully pour the pre-measured amount of bleach
directly into the bleach dispenser. If you are using
powdered bleach of any kind, pour it directly into the
tub before adding the laundry. Never add powdered
bleach to the liquid bleach dispenser.
o Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly
onto clothes or into the tub.
o Do not pour powdered bleach into the bleach dis-
penser.
o Do not place laundry items on top of the bleach dis-
penser when loading and unloading the washer.
* Always measure and pour bleach carefully. Avoid
overfilling or splashing when adding bleach to the
dispenser. The maximum capacity of the bleach dis-
penser is one cup of bleach per wash cycle. Overfill-
ing could result in bleach being dispensed immedi-
ately, which can result in damage to the clothes in the
washer.
