Owner's Manual

OPERATION 19
• The washer can be fully loaded, but the drum should
not be tightly packed with items. The door of the
washer must close easily.
• The washer will not fill or operate with the door open.
Bulky Items
• Wash thick, bulky items individually. Heavy blankets,
comforters, bed spreads, or pet beds can get tangled or
cause an unbalanced load if combined with other items.
Small Items
• Do not wash a single small item. Add enough similar
items to the load to prevent an out-ofbalance load.
• Wash small, light items in a mesh bag. Small items can
get caught in the impeller at the bottom of the drum,
and brassiere hooks can snag on other clothing or the
drum.

About Detergent Use
This washer is designed for use with only HE
(HighEfficiency) detergents.
• HE detergents produce fewer suds, dissolve more
efficiently to improve washing and rinsing
performance, and help to keep the interior of the
washer clean. Using detergent that is not HE may cause
oversudsing and unsatisfactory performance which
could result in error codes, cycle failure, and washer
damage.
• Detergents designated as HE-compatible may not
provide optimal results.
• For proper wash performance, always measure
detergent using the measuring device provided by the
detergent manufacturer. For an average load, use less
than half of the recommended maximum. Use less
detergent for soft water, light soil, or smaller loads.
• Use extra care when measuring 2X and 3X concentrated
detergents because even a small amount of extra
detergent can lead to problems.
• Never use more than the maximum amount of
detergent recommended by the manufacturer. Using
too much detergent can lead to oversudsing, poor
rinsing, detergent buildup in clothing, and residue
buildup that can contribute to odors in the washer.
• Do not use more than one single-use detergent pack in
the washer. Using too much detergent may cause
oversudsing and unsatisfactory performance. Reduce
detergent amount or add an extra rinse if detergent
residue is left on fabrics. To add an extra rinse, select
the Extra Rinse option.
