16 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
For proper wash performance, always measure the
detergent using the measurements provided by the
detergent manufacturer.
The normal amount of HE detergent needed, for
average loads, is less than ½ of 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
cap or scoop of HE detergent should be used.
NOTE:
y Extra care must be exercised when using 2X and 3X
concentrated detergents because even a little bit ex-
tra can contribute to the problems mentioned above.
y 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 COTTON/NORMAL or
HEAVY DUTY cycles, press the FABRIC SOFT-
ENER button 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
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.
y Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly
onto clothes or into the tub.
y Do not pour powdered bleach into bleach dispenser.
y Do not place laundry items on top of the bleach dis-
penser when loading and unloading the washer.
y 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.
