Heavy blankets, comforters, bed spreads, or pet beds can get tangled or cause an unbalanced load if combined with other items. Small Items • Do not wash a single small item. Add enough similar items to the load to prevent an out-of-balance 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 Waterproof Items • Do not wash/spin waterproof items. Washing raincoats or sleeping bags may result in abnormal vibration or may cause the load to bounce, which could damage the drum. Adding Cleaning Products About Detergent Use This washer is designed for use with only HE (High-Efficiency) detergents. • 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. • 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. a Maximum fill line b Average load fill line c Liquid detergent d Powdered detergent

About Detergent Use
This washer is designed for use with only HE (High-Efficiency) detergents.
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.
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.
