Large items should not be more than half of the total load. • The washer can be fully loaded, but the drum should not be tightly packed with items. The door of the washer must close easily. • The washer will not fill or operate with the door open. Bulky Items • Wash thick, bulky items individually. Heavy blankets, comforters, bedspreads, or pet beds can get tangled or cause an unbalanced load if combined with other items. • Never use more than the maximum amount of detergent recommended by the manufacturer. Using too much detergent can lead to oversudsing, poor rinsing, detergent buildup in clothing, and residue buildup that can contribute to odors in the washer. • Do not use more than one single-use detergent pack in the washer. Using too much detergent may cause oversudsing and unsatisfactory performance. Reduce detergent amount or add an extra rinse if detergent residue is left on fabrics. To add an extra rinse, select the Extra Rinse option. Small Items • Do not wash a single small item. Add enough similar items to the load to prevent an out-ofbalance load. • Wash small, light items in a mesh bag. Small items can get caught in the impeller at the bottom of the drum, and brassiere hooks can snag on other clothing or the drum. Adding Cleaning Products About Detergent Use This washer is designed for use with only HE (HighEfficiency) detergents. a Maximum fill line b Average load fill line c Liquid detergent d Powdered detergent Single-Use Detergent Packs / Gel or Tablet Detergents Place liquid or powdered detergent packs, or gel or tablet detergents in the drum before loading laundry. Do not place these detergents in the dispenser. • HE detergents produce fewer suds, dissolve more efficiently to improve washing and rinsing performance, and help to keep the interior of the washer clean. Using detergent that is not HE may cause oversudsing and unsatisfactory performance which could result in error codes, cycle failure, and washer damage. • Detergents designated as HE-compatible may not provide optimal results. • For proper wash performance, always measure detergent using the measuring device provided by the detergent manufacturer. For an average load, use less than half of the recommended maximum. Use less detergent for soft water, light soil, or smaller loads. • Use extra care when measuring 2X and 3X concentrated detergents because even a small amount of extra detergent can lead to problems. Using the Dispenser To add cleaning products to the automatic dispenser: 1 Open the dispenser drawer. 2 Load the laundry products into the appropriate compartments. • Follow the manufacturer's recommendations when adding cleaning products.
