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 failure and, over time, buildup of mold or
mildew. HE detergents are low-sudsing and quick-dispersing to
produce the right amount of suds for the best performance. They
hold soil in suspension so it is not re-deposited onto clean clothes.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to determine the amount of
detergent to use.
Use only High Efficiency (HE) detergent.
