designed to use high efficiency (HE)
detergents.
For best cleaning results, use a high
efficiency detergent such as Tide HE, Wisk HE, Cheer

suds suppressors which reduce or eliminate suds.

may be used.

loading washers, it is important to pay close
attention to the soil level of the load, load size,
and water hardness_% To avoid over-suds-
ing_ which interferes with turnb|ing,
rinsing and spinning and causes

amount of detergent used with soft
water or with small or lightly soiled
|oads.

reduce cleaning. [t is important to pretreat stains,
