H O W TO U S E SELECTING DETERGENT IMPORTANT: Your washer is designed for use with only High-Efficiency (HE) detergents. HE detergents are formulated specifically for front-load washers and contain suds-reducing agents. Always look for the HE symbol when purchasing detergent. HE detergents produce fewer suds, dissolve more efficiently to improve washing and rinsing performance, and help to keep the interior of your washer clean. Using a regular detergent may cause excessive sudsing and unsatisfactory performance. IMPORTANT: Do not place or store laundry products, such as detergent, bleach, or liquid fabric softener, on top of your washer or dryer. Wipe up any spills immediately. These products can damage the finish and controls.` Designed specially to use only HE (High-Efficiency) detergent ABOUT THE DISPENSER The automatic dispenser consists of four compartments which hold: • Liquid chlorine bleach. • Liquid fabric softener. • Liquid or powdered detergent for pre-wash. • Liquid or powdered detergent and colorsafebleach for main wash. All laundry products can be added at once in their respective dispenser compartments. They will be dispensed at the appropriate time for the most effective cleaning. After adding the laundry products to the dispenser, close the dispenser drawer. 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 Slowly close the dispenser drawer to avoid early dispensing of the laundry products. NOTE: It is normal for a small amount of water to remain in the dispenser compartments at the end of the cycle.

HOW TO USE
SORTING WASH LOADS
Fabric Care Labels
Most articles of clothing feature fabric care labels
that include instructions for proper care.
Fabric Care Labels
Grouping Similar Items
For best results, sort clothes into loads that can
be washed with the same wash cycle.
Different fabrics have different care requirements.
Always wash dark colors separately from light
colors and whites to prevent discoloration. If
possible, do not wash heavily soiled items with
lightly soiled ones. The chart below shows
recommended groupings.

Loading the Washer
Check all pockets to make sure that they are
empty. Items such as clips, matches, pens,
coins, and keys can damage both your washer
and your clothes.
Close zippers, hooks, and drawstrings to
prevent these items from snagging or tangling
on other clothes.
Pre-treat heavily stained areas for best results.
Combine large and small items in a load. Load
large items first.
Large items should not be more than half of the
total wash load.
The drum should not be tightly packed with
items. The door of the washer should close
easily.
To prevent an out-of-balance load, do not wash
single items. Add one or two similar items to
the load. Large, bulky items, such as a blanket,
comforter, or bedspread should be washed
individually.
Do not wash or spin waterproof clothes.
When unloading the washer, check under the
door seal for small items.
NOTE:
The front loading washer rotates the wet
laundry to wash it with less water. If you do not
see the water during washing, it is not a problem
because the laundry is sufficiently wet.
