CHOOSING THE RIGHT
DETERGENT
Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package will be marked
"HE" or "High Efficiency." Low-water washing creates excessive
sudsing with a non-HE detergent. Using non-HE detergent will
likely result in longer cycle times and reduced rinsing
performance. It may also result in component malfunction and,
over time, buildup of mold or mildew. HE detergents should be
low-sudsing and quick-dispersing to produce the right amount of
suds for the best performance. They should hold soil in
suspension so it is not redeposited onto clean clothes. Not all
detergents labeled as High Efficiency are identical in formulation
and their ability to reduce suds. For example, natural, organic, or
homemade HE detergents may generate a high level of suds.
Always follow the detergent manufacturer's instructions to
determine the amount of detergent to use. Do not go over the Max
Line on the dispenser. See Quick Start Guide for more
information.
WASHER MAINTENANCE AND
CARE
Water Inlet Hoses
Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk of hose
failure. Periodically inspect and replace inlet hoses if bulges,
kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found.
When replacing your inlet hoses:
� Mark the date of replacement on the label with a permanent
marker.
� Check that the old washers are not stuck on the washer inlet
valves.
� Use new washers in the new inlet hoses to ensure a proper
seal.
NOTE: This washer may not include inlet hoses. See the
Installation Instructions for more information.
Washer Care
Recommendations to help keep your washer
clean and performing at its best
1. Always use High Efficiency (HE) detergents and follow the HE
detergent manufacturer's instructions regarding the amount of
HE detergent to use. Never use more than the recommended
amount because that may increase the rate at which
detergent and soil residue accumulate inside your washer,
which in turn may result in undesirable odor.
2. Use warm and hot wash water settings sometimes (not
exclusively cold water washes), because they do a better job
of controlling the rate at which soils and detergent
accumulate.
3. Always leave the washer lid open between uses to help dry
out the washer and prevent the buildup of odor-causing
residue.
Cleaning your top-loading washer
Read these instructions completely before beginning the routine
cleaning processes recommended below. This Washer
Maintenance Procedure should be performed, at a minimum,
once per month or every 30 wash cycles, whichever occurs
sooner, to control the rate at which soils and detergent may
otherwise accumulate in your washer.
Cleaning the inside of the washer
To keep your washer odor-free, follow the usage instructions
provided above and use this recommended monthly cleaning
procedure:
