Using Laundry Product Dispensers 3. Add HE detergent to dispenser Detergent tray 5. Add fabric softener to dispenser Fabric softener tray Add a measured amount of HE detergent into detergent tray. This tray holds 3 oz. (89 mL). Do not overfill tray - adding too much detergent may cause detergent to be dispensed into the washer too early. IMPORTANT: Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package will be marked "HE" or "High Efficiency." Low-water washing creates excessive sudsing with a regular non-HE detergent. Using regular detergent will likely result in 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. Using Oxi or color-safe bleach: If using an Oxi or color-safe bleach laundry boost product, add to the bottom of the washer basket before adding clothes. HELPFUL TIP: See "Washer Maintenance" for information on recommended method of cleaning washer dispenser trays. Pour a measured amount of liquid fabric softener into tray, always follow manufacturer's directions for correct amount of fabric softener based on your load size. Close dispenser drawer, then select Fabric Softener option. IMPORTANT: Fabric Softener option must be selected to ensure proper distribution at correct time in cycle. Do not overfill or dilute. Overfilling dispenser will cause fabric softener to immediately dispense into washer. If Extra Rinse option is selected, fabric softener will be dispensed into the last rinse. It is normal for a small amount of water to remain in the dispenser at the end of a cycle. Starting Your Washer 6. Press POWER to turn on washer 4.
