INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
DETERGENT AND DISPENSER USE
A WORD ABOUT DETERGENTS
High-Efficiency (HE) detergents produce fewer
suds, dissolve more efficiently to improve wash-
ing and rinsing performance, and help to keep the
interior of your washer clean. Using detergent that
is not HE may cause oversudsing and unsatisfac-
tory performance which could result in error codes,
cycle failure, and machine damage.
This machine requires very little detergent. For
proper wash performance, always use the dispenser
and measuring device provided with the machine.
The dispenser holds a maximum of 2 teaspoons
(10g/10cc) of HE detergent. Most normal loads
require only 1 teaspoon (5g/5cc) of detergent, or
filling the dispenser to the halfway line.
Do not use a full detergent pod in the pedestal
washer. Using too much detergent may cause
oversudsing and
Reduce detergent amount or add an extra rinse if
detergent residue is left on fabrics. To add an extra
rinse, press the Extra Rinse button.
DESIGNED TO USE ONLY
HIGH-EFFICIENCY (HE)
DETERGENT
IMPORTANT: Your washing machine is designed
for use with only High-Efficiency (HE) detergents.
HE detergents are formulated specifically for High-
Efficiency washers and contain suds-reducing
agents. Always look for the HE symbol when
purchasing detergent.
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. The maximum
measure on the dispenser provided should only be
used for very large loads. Using too much detergent
can result in detergent buildup in the washer and in
your clothes.
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 1 teaspoon or
half the provided dispenser/measuring device of HE
detergent should be used.

NOTE:
y 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.
y Detergents designated as HE compatible may not
provide optimal results.
USING THE DETERGENT
1. Slide the drawer open, open the lid, and add the
garments into the tub.
2. Measure the detergent with the detergent
dispenser and pour it into the tub.
3. Close the lid, slide the drawer closed, and press the
START/PAUSE button to start the cycle.
NOTE: Liquid chlorine bleach or powdered bleach
cannot be used in the pedestal washer. To use bleach,
use the full-size washer and follow instructions in the
owner's manual for that machine.
IMPORTANT: 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.
USING BLEACH
Do not use liquid chlorine bleach or powdered
bleach in the pedestal washer. To bleach items, use
the full-size washer and follow the instructions in the
owner's manual included with that machine.
USING FABRIC SOFTENER
The pedestal washer chimes repeatedly before the
final rinse so liquid fabric softener can be added to
the load, if desired. Use 1/4 the amount of softener
recommended by the manufacturer for a normal load.
When the machine chimes, press Start/Pause to pause
the cycle.
1. Slide the drawer open, open the lid, and add the
liquid fabric softener to the detergent dispenser. The
softener can also be diluted with water and added
directly into the tub. Do not pour undiluted softener
directly onto clothing because it may stain fabrics.
2. Close the lid, slide the drawer closed, and press
Start/Pause to restart the cycle.
3. To disable or enable the fabric softener alert, press
and hold the Warm Water and Extra Rinse buttons at
the same time for three seconds.
If you miss the softener add point:
1. Press the Power button to interrupt the cycle.
2. Select the Rinse+Spin cycle and press the Start
button to start the cycle.
3. Add the fabric softener at the chimes following
instructions above.
