High-Efficiency (HE) detergents produce fewer suds, 

dissolve more efficiently to improve washing and rinsing 

performance, and help to keep the interior of your 

washer clean. Using detergent that is not HE may cause 

oversudsing and unsatisfactory performance which 

could result in error codes, cycle failure, and  

machine damage.

For proper wash performance, always measure the

detergent using the measurements provided by the 

detergent manufacturer.

The normal amount of HE detergent needed, for average 

loads, is less than ½ of the recommended maximum. 

Use less detergent for soft water, light soil or smaller 

loads. Never use more than the maximum amount 

recommended by the detergent manufacturer.

IMPORTANT: Not all detergents are the same. Pay 

careful attention to the amount of detergent used to 

avoid oversudsing, poor rinsing and detergent buildup in 

clothing, and residue buildup that can contribute to odors 

in the machine. NEVER use a cup or scoop other than the 

one supplied by the manufacturer of the detergent you 

are using. Never use more than the maximum amount of 

detergent recommended by the manufacturer.
Always measure the detergent amount. While HE 

detergents are designed for this type of washing 

machine, be careful when measuring the detergent. For 

most normal loads, no more than ¼ to ½  of cap or 

scoop of HE detergent should be used.
NOTE: Extra care must be exercised when using 2X and 

3X concentrated detergents because even a little bit extra 

can contribute to the problems mentioned above.
NOTE: Detergents designated as HE compatible may not

provide optimal results.

IMPORTANT: Your washing machine is designed for use

with only High-Efficiency (HE) detergents. HE detergents 

are formulated specifically for front-load washers and 

contain suds-reducing agents. Always look for the HE 

symbol when purchasing detergent.

To add detergent, bleach, and fabric softener to the

automatic dispenser:

        

Open the dispenser drawer.

        

Load the laundry products into the  

        appropriate compartments.

        

Close the drawer before starting the cycle.

NOTE: It is normal for a small amount of water to 

remain in the bleach and softener compartments at the 

end of the cycle.

MPORTANT: Do not place or store laundry products, 

such as detergent, bleach, or liquid fabric softener, on top 

of your washer or dryer. Wipe up any spills immediately. 

These products can damage the finish and controls.

Use the detergent amount indicator to help

determine the correct amount of detergent to use.
Bars light up to indicate the size of the dry load sensed 

by the washer control. Follow the detergent manufacturer’s 

recommendations for the amount of detergent based on 

load size. The indicator will not be accurate if any wet 

clothes are placed in the washer.
NOTE: The detergent amount indicator icon does not

represent an actual detergent measuring cup or cap.

1 bar = small load

2 bars = medium load

3 bars = large load
