washer is
designed to use high efficiency (HE)
detergents.
• For best cleaning results, use a high
efficiency detergent such as Tide HE,Wisk HE, Cheer
HE or Gain HE*. High efficiency detergents contain
suds suppressors which reduce or eliminate suds.
When less suds are produced, the load tumbles more
efficiently and cleaning results are maximized.
If HE detergent is not available, regular detergent 
may be used.
The washer has separate compartments for
dispensing detergent and color-safe bleach, chlorine
bleach and fabric softener. All laundry additives are
added to their respective compartments before
starting the washer.
The Automatic Dispenser MUST ALWAYS
be in place before starting the washer. DO
NOT open the Automatic Dispenser when
the washer is running.
To use: 
1. Pull out the dispenser drawer on the left 
side of the control panel.
2. Fill appropriate compartments with laundry 
additives, being careful not to overfill or spill 
additives.
3. Slide the dispenser drawer carefully and 
completely back into the compartment.
1. Pour the recommended amount of laundry 
detergent directly into the detergent compart-
ment before starting the washer.
2. If color-safe bleach is to be used, it should be 
added with detergent to the detergent 
compartment.
•  When adding color-safe bleach with detergent,
it is best if both laundry products are in the 
same form; granular or liquid.

** To determine water hardness in your area, contact your local 
water utility or State University Extension office in your area.

• If using regular detergent formulated for top-
loading washers, it is important to pay close
attention to the soil level of the load, load size,
and water hardness**. To avoid over-
sudsing, which interferes with
tumbling, rinsing and spinning and
causes extended cycle times, reduce
the amount of detergent used with
soft water or with small or lightly
soiled loads.
