WASHER USE

Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package for this type of detergent will be marked
"HE" or "High Efficiency." This wash 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, and reduced rinsing performance. It may also result in component
failures and noticeable mold or mildew. HE detergents 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.
First Wash Cycle Without Laundry
Before washing clothes for the first time, if not completed during the final installation step,
choose the Normal cycle and run it without clothes. Use only HE High Efficiency detergent.
Use ¹⁄₂ the manufacturer's recommended amount for a medium-size load. This initial cycle
serves to ensure the interior is clean before washing clothes.

Using the Proper Detergent

Use only HE High Efficiency detergent.
