USE OF DETERGENT
Using
too much
detergent
is a common
cause
of
laundry
problems.
Today's
detergents
are formulat-
ed to be effective
without
visible
sudsing.
Be sure
to carefully
read and follow
manufacturer's
recom-
mendations
for how much
detergent
to use in your
wash.
You can use less detergent
if you have soft
water,
a smaller
load, or a lightly
soiled
load.
NOTE:
Use
only low-sudsing,
high-efficiency
de-
tergent.
These
detergents
can be identified
by the
HE logo. _

Do not spray
water
inside the washing
machine.
Doing so may cause fire or electric
\
shock.
