Preparing

clothes

washing

Follow these recommendations

life

of your garments.

Use only

High

Efficiency

detergents.

The package

for this

type

of detergent

will

be marked

"HE"

or "High

Efficiency."

This wash

system,

along

with

less water,

will

create

too

much

sudsing

with

a regular

non-HE

detergent.

Using

regular

detergent

will

likely

result

in

washer

errors,

longer

cycle

times,

and

reduced

rinsing

performance.

It may also

result

in

component

failures

and

noticeable

mold

or mildew.

HE detergents

are made

to produce

the

right

amount

of

suds for the

best performance.

Follow

the

manufacturer's

instructions

to determine

the

amount

of detergent

to

use. Remember,

concentrated

detergents

such

as

2x or higher

will

use less detergent

based

on

load

size.
