16 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 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 cause oversudsing and unsatisfactory performance which could result in error codes, cycle failure, and machine damage. Max load (2 tsp., 10 g) Normal (1 tsp., 5 g) This machine requires very little detergent. For proper wash performance, always use the dispenser and measuring device provided with the machine. The dispenser holds a maximum of 2 teaspoons (10g/10cc) of HE detergent. Most normal loads require only 1 teaspoon (5g/5cc) of detergent, or filling the dispenser to the halfway line. Do not use a full detergent pod in the pedestal 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, press the Extra Rinse button. 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 HighEfficiency 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. The maximum measure on the dispenser provided should only be used for very large 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 teaspoon or half the provided dispenser/measuring device of HE detergent should be used. NOTE: yy 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. yy Detergents designated as HE compatible may not provide optimal results. USING THE DETERGENT 1. Slide the drawer open, open the lid, and add the garments into the tub. 2. Measure the detergent with the detergent dispenser and pour it into the tub. 3. Close the lid, slide the drawer closed, and press the START/PAUSE button to start the cycle. NOTE: Liquid chlorine bleach or powdered bleach cannot be used in the pedestal washer. To use bleach, use the full-size washer and follow instructions in the owner's manual for that machine. 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. Using Bleach Do not use liquid chlorine bleach or powdered bleach in the pedestal washer. To bleach items, use the full-size washer and follow the instructions in the owner's manual included with that machine. Using Fabric Softener The pedestal washer chimes repeatedly before the final rinse so liquid fabric softener can be added to the load, if desired. Use 1/4 the amount of softener recommended by the manufacturer for a normal load. When the machine chimes, press Start/Pause to pause the cycle. 1. Slide the drawer open, open the lid, and add the liquid fabric softener to the detergent dispenser. The softener can also be diluted with water and added directly into the tub. Do not pour undiluted softener directly onto clothing because it may stain fabrics. 2. Close the lid, slide the drawer closed, and press Start/Pause to restart the cycle. 3. To disable or enable the fabric softener alert, press and hold the Warm Water and Extra Rinse buttons at the same time for three seconds. If you miss the softener add point: 1. Press the Power button to interrupt the cycle. 2. Select the Rinse+Spin cycle and press the Start button to start the cycle. 3. Add the fabric softener at the chimes following instructions above.
