Using the Proper Detergent Use only High Ef ciency detergents. The package for this type of detergent will be marked "HE" or "High Ef ciency." 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 detergent such as 2x or higher will use less detergent based on load size. 3. Add laundry boosters (powdered or liquid) (on models with Oxi option) or liquid chlorine bleach (on models without Oxi option) to the Bleach/Oxi dispenser. Do not mix laundry boosters and liquid chlorine bleach in the same cycle. At the end of the cycle, a small amount of water may be left in the dispenser. This is normal. Use only HE High Ef ciency detergent. Starting Your Washer 1. Place a load of sorted clothes into the washer. See "Laundry Tips." Load evenly to maintain washer balance. Mix large and small items. Items should move easily through the wash water. For best performance, load garments in loose heaps evenly around the basket wall. Do not load above the stainless steel portion of the basket, as shown. On models with Oxi option, when using a laundry booster (powder or liquid): Be sure to select Oxi from the options to assure proper dispensing. Laundry boosters are automatically dispensed at the proper time during the wash cycle. Do not mix laundry boosters and liquid chlorine bleach in the same cycle. On models with Oxi option, when using liquid chlorine bleach: Do not select Oxi option. No option selection is necessary for proper dispensing of liquid chlorine bleach. Do not mix laundry boosters and liquid chlorine bleach in the same cycle. Do not over ll, dilute or use more than 1 cup (250 mL). Follow the garment and chlorine bleach manufacturer's directions for proper use. To avoid spilling, use a cup with a pouring spout. Do not let bleach splash, drip, or run down into the washer basket. 4. Pour measured liquid fabric softener into the fabric softener dispenser. If you are using fabric softener, be sure to select Fabric Softener from the options to assure proper dispensing. NOTE: Select Fabric Softener from the Dispenser Options to assure proper dispensing. 2. Pour measured powdered or liquid High Ef ciency (HE) detergent into the detergent dispenser. Always use the detergent dispenser, and do not put detergent directly onto clothes in the washer. Use Only High Efficiency Detergent Do not over ll. Do not dilute. The dispenser holds 3 oz (94 mL), or a capful of fabric softener. The fabric softener is dispensed in the nal rinse. If Extra Rinse is selected, the fabric softener will be dispensed during the Extra Rinse. Do not use fabric softener dispensing balls in this washer. Dispensing balls will not operate correctly with this washer. Do not spill or drip any fabric softener onto the clothes. At the end of the cycle, a small amount of water may be left in the dispenser. This is normal. NOTE: Use only liquid fabric softener in this dispenser. 5. Close the washer lid. 6. Press POWER. This turns on the washer display. 7. Select a Wash Cycle. See "Cycles." 8.
