Do not store laundry products on the top surface of this washer. Vibration is normal during
operation.
Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package for this type of detergent will be marked
"HE" or "High Efficiency." This wash system, along with less water, will create too much
sudsing with a regular non-HE detergent. Using regular detergent will likely result in washer
errors, longer cycle times, and reduced rinsing performance. It may also result in component
failures and noticeable mold or mildew. HE detergents are made to produce the right amount
of suds for the best performance. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to determine the
amount of detergent to use. Remember, concentrated detergents such as 2x or higher will use
less detergent based on load size.
Use only HE High Efficiency detergent.
