PREPARATION
Using detergent/fabric softener
Recommended detergent
Low sudsing detergent is recommended for this
washer. Use the manufacturer's recommended
amount.
If low sudsing detergent is not available, a reduced
amount of regular detergent may be used.
Because reducing the amount of detergent may
reduce cleaning, it is important to pretreat stains,
sort carefully by color and soil level, and avoid
overloading.
Detergent usage may need to be adjusted for water
temperature, water hardness, size and soil level of
the load.
For best results, avoid using too much detergent.
NOTE
y Use less detergent for soft water.
y Wipe up any spills immediately, as liquids could
damage the finish and the control panel of the
washing machine.
y Using too much detergent can cause a build-
up in the tub resulting in unsatisfactory
performance and machine malfunction.
y If you use a detergent that does not dissolve
easily or a detergent with high viscosity, it will
leave a residue on the tub, which may not rinse
properly.
Loading the dispenser
The detergent dispenser drawer of the washing
machine has a dispenser compartment for each
detergent type. Add the appropriate detergents into
its respective compartments.
1
Pull out the detergent dispenser drawer.
2
Add the appropriate detergent to its allocated
compartment.
- If you use a liquid detergent, check if the liquid
detergent cup is in place.
- If you use a powdered detergent, remove the
liquid detergent cup and put the powder in the
main wash detergent compartment.

remain in the dispenser compartments at the
end of the cycle.
