PREPARATION
Using Detergent/Fabric Softener
Recommended Detergent
Make sure to use HE (High-Efficiency) detergent
for frontloading washing machines. HE detergents
dissolve more efficiently and produce fewer suds to
ensure efficient
washing and rinsing. Use the correct amount of
detergent as indicated on the detergent packaging.
Specially designed to use only
HE (High-Efficiency) detergent
NOTE
y Only use HE detergents, because using a regular
detergent may produce excessive suds.
y HE detergents produce fewer suds, dissolve
more efficiently to improve washing and rinsing
performance, and help to keep the interior of
your washer clean.
y Use less detergent for soft water.
y Wipe up any spills immediately, as liquids could
damage the finish and the control panel of the
washing machine.
y Using too much detergent can cause a build-
up in the tub resulting in unsatisfactory
performance and machine malfunction.
y If you use a detergent that does not dissolve
easily or a detergent with high viscosity, it will
leave a residue on the tub, which may not rinse
properly.
Loading the Dispenser
The detergent dispenser drawer of the washing
machine has a dispenser compartment for each
detergent type. Add each detergent to its appropriate
compartment.
