Add a measured amount of HE detergent  

into detergent tray. This tray holds 3 oz. (89 mL). Do not overfill 

tray - adding too much detergent may cause detergent to be 

dispensed into the washer too early.
IMPORTANT: Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package 

will be marked “HE” or “High Efficiency.” Low-water washing 

creates excessive sudsing with a regular non-HE detergent. 

Using regular detergent will likely result in 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. 
Using Oxi or color-safe bleach: 

If using an Oxi or color-safe bleach laundry boost product, add  

to the bottom of the washer basket before adding clothes.
HELPFUL TIP: See “Washer Maintenance” for information  

on recommended method of cleaning washer dispenser trays.

Pour a measured amount of liquid fabric  

softener into tray, always follow manufacturer’s directions for 

correct amount of fabric softener based on your load size. Close 

dispenser drawer, then select Suavizante (Fabric Softener) option. 
IMPORTANT: Suavizante (Fabric Softener) option must be  

selected to ensure proper distribution at correct time in cycle. 

Do not overfill or dilute. Overfilling dispenser will cause fabric 

softener to immediately dispense into washer. 
If Extra enjuague (Extra Rinse) option is selected, fabric softener 

will be dispensed into the last rinse.
It is normal for a small amount of water to remain in the dispenser 

at the end of a cycle.

Do not overfill, dilute, or use more than 1 cup (250 mL). Do not 

use color-safe bleach or Oxi products in the same cycle with 

liquid chlorine bleach.
