Overfilling can cause early dispensing of the fabric softener which could stain clothes. • Do not leave the fabric softener in the detergent drawer for more than 2 days. (Fabric softener could harden) • Softener will automatically be added during last rinse cycle. • Do not open the drawer when water is supplied. • Solvents (benzene, etc.) are not allowable. Do not pour fabric softener directly on the clothes 4. Detergent usage Your LG washer is designed to use only High Efficiency (HE) detergents. HE detergents are formulated specifically for front load washers and contain suds reducing components. HE detergents make less suds, improve washing and rinsing performance, and help to keep the interior of your LG washer clean. If a regular detergent is used, it may cause oversudsing and unsatisfactory performance. For the best washing and rinsing performance, low-sudsing HE detergents are strongly recommended. • Because reducing the amount of detergent may reduce cleaning, it is important to pretreat stains, sort carefully by color and soil level, and avoid overloading. • Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for water temperature, water hardness, size and soil level of the load. For best results, avoid using too much detergent. • Detergent is dispensed at the beginning of the cycle. Designed specially to use only HE(High Efficiency) detergent 11
