Choosing the Right Detergent

Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package will be marked 

“HE” or “High Efficiency.” Low-water washing creates excessive 

sudsing with a non-HE detergent. Using non-HE detergent will likely 

result in longer cycle times and reduced rinsing performance. It may 

also result in component failure and, over time, buildup of mold or 

mildew. HE detergents are low-sudsing and quick-dispersing to 

produce the right amount of suds for the best performance. They 

hold soil in suspension so it is not re-deposited onto clean clothes. 

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to determine the amount of 

detergent to use.

detergent into detergent compartment.  

For powdered detergent, lift the selector 

to the high position. For liquid detergent, 

push down the selector to the low 

position.
Do not overfill; adding too much detergent 

may cause detergent to be dispensed into 

the washer too early.
