CONTROL PANEL AND FEATURES 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. USING THE DISPENSER DRAWER 1. Open the dispenser drawer. 2. Add laundry products as described in steps 4-6 in the "Using Your Washer" section. 3. Slowly close the dispenser drawer. Make sure it is completely closed.
