22 PREPARATION Using detergent/fabric softener Recommended detergent Make sure to use HE (High-Efficiency) detergent for front-loading washing machines. HE detergents dissolve more efficiently and produce fewer suds to ensure efficient washing and rinsing. Use the correct amount of detergent as indicated on the label of the detergent packaging. Designed specially to use only HE (High-Efficiency) detergent Loading the dispenser The detergent dispenser of the washing machine has a dispenser compartment for each detergent type. Add each detergent to its appropriate compartment. 1 Slide the detergent dispenser lid open. NOTE yy Only use HE detergents, because using a regular detergent may produce excessive suds. yy HE detergents produce fewer suds, dissolve more efficiently to improve washing and rinsing performance, and help to keep the interior of your washer clean. yy Use less detergent for soft water. yy Wipe up any spills immediately, as liquids could damage the finish and the control panel of the washing machine. If you do not wipe up any spills with a soft cloth, the cycle and option selections of the control panel may not operate. yy Using too much detergent can cause a buildup in the tub resulting in unsatisfactory performance and machine malfunction. yy If you use a detergent that does not dissolve easily or a detergent with high viscosity, it will leave a residue and clog on the dispenser. yy Dilute concentrated detergents with water; it will leave a residue on the tub and may not rinse properly. 2 Add each detergent to its appropriate compartment. - If you use a liquid detergent, make sure the liquid detergent cup is in place. - If you use a powdered detergent, remove the liquid detergent cup and put the powder in the main wash detergent compartment.
