Maximum Normal Load Amount Main wash Detergent Compartment Liquid Fabric Softener Compartment MAIN WASH DETERGENT COMPARTMENT This compartment holds laundry detergent for the main wash cycle. Either powdered or liquid detergent may be used in this compartment. The detergent is added to the load at the beginning of the cycle. Liquid detergent will be dispensed immediately. This is normal. This machine is not designed to use a separate liquid detergent dispenser cup. Always use High-Efficiency (HE) detergent with your washing machine.

Either powdered or liquid fabric softener may be used. • Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations when adding fabric softener. Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Using too much fabric softener may stain clothes. • Dilute concentrated fabric softeners with warm water. Do not exceed the maximum fill line. • Never pour fabric softener directly onto the load or into the tub. DETERGENT AND DISPENSER USE A WORD ABOUT DETERGENTS High-Efficiency (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 detergent that is not HE may Liquid Detergent Powder Detergent For proper wash performance, always measure the detergent using the measurements provided by the detergent manufacturer. The normal amount of HE detergent needed, for average loads, is less than ½ of the recommended maximum. Use less detergent for soft water, light soil or smaller loads. Never use more than the maximum amount recommended by the detergent manufacturer. DESIGNED TO USE ONLY HIGH-EFFICIENCY (HE) DETERGENT IMPORTANT: Your washing machine is designed for use with only High-Efficiency (HE) detergents. HE detergents are formulated specifically for High-Efficiency washers and contain suds-reducing agents. Always look for the HE symbol when purchasing detergent. IMPORTANT: Not all detergents are the same. Pay careful attention to the amount of detergent used to avoid oversudsing, poor rinsing and detergent buildup in clothing, and residue buildup that can contribute to odors in the machine. NEVER use a cup or scoop other than the one supplied by the manufacturer of the detergent you are using. Never use more than the maximum amount of detergent recommended by the manufacturer. A full scoop or measure of detergent should only be used for very large and heavily soiled loads. Using too much detergent can result in detergent buildup in the washer and in your clothes. Always measure the detergent amount. While HE detergents are designed for this type of washing machine, be careful when measuring the detergent. For most normal loads, no more than 1/4 to 1/2 of cap or scoop of HE detergent should be used. NOTE: • Extra care must be exercised when using 2X and 3X concentrated detergents because even a little bit extra can contribute to the problems mentioned above. • Detergents designated as HE compatible may not provide optimal results.
