WASHER USE
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 detergents. The package for this type of
detergent will be marked “HE” or “High Efficiency.” The new
wash action of the CALYPSO
®
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, reduced rinsing performance, and may result in
component failures and noticeable mold or mildew. HE
detergents such as TIDE
®
HE 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.
1. Place a load of sorted clothes into the washer. Load to a level
shown below. See “Loading.”
2. Pour measured powdered or liquid High Efficiency detergent
into the detergent dispenser. Liquid HE detergent is
recommended. Always use the detergent dispenser, and do
not put detergent directly onto clothes in the washer.
NOTE: You can add color-safe bleach (powdered or liquid) to
this dispenser. Be sure to match powdered color-safe bleach
with powdered detergent or match liquid color-safe bleach
with liquid detergent.
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.
