WASHER USE
NOTE: Your washer model may differ slightly.
Starting Your Washer
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to
persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before
operating this appliance.
The following is a guide to starting your washer. Periodic
references to other sections of this manual provide more detailed
information.
Using the Proper Detergent
Use only High Efficiency (HE) detergents. The package for this
type of detergent will be marked “HE” or “High Efficiency.” HE
detergents such as TIDE
®
HE are made to produce the right
amount of suds for the best performance in low water wash
systems. Follow the detergent manufacturer’s instructions to
determine the correct amount of detergent to use. Your washer’s
new wash system will create too much sudsing if regular non-HE
detergent is used. 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. Use of regular (non-HE) detergent will void your
warranty. See “Warranty.”
1. Place a load of sorted clothes into the washer. See “Laundry
Tips.”
■ Load evenly to maintain washer balance. Mix large and
small items.
■ Load only to the top of the basket as shown. Overloading
can cause poor cleaning.
2. Pour measured powdered or liquid High Efficiency (HE)
detergent into the detergent dispenser. Do not put detergent
directly into the wash tub or onto clothes in the washer.
Fire Hazard
Never place items in the washer that are dampened
with gasoline or other flammable fluids.
No washer can completely remove oil.
Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on
it (including cooking oils).
Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
WARNING
Use only “HE” High Efficiency detergent.
