Press the Door Open button to open the door and load the wash. We recommend that you use a low-sudsing powder detergent only, preferably a high-efficiency (HE) detergent designed specifically for front-loading washers. (Liquid detergents tend to suds more, which make them more difficult to rinse out. ) Detergent ­ The amount of detergent needed varies, depending on the detergent you use. For high-efficiency detergent specifically for front-loading washers, you should use the amounts recommended by the manufacturer. For regular laundry detergent, 1 to 3 tablespoons of detergent is all you need for a normal wash load. More heavily soiled items, however, may need slightly more detergent. Also, the amount of detergent needed can vary due to differences in water hardness. (Refer to the Use and Care Guide for more details. ) If you choose to use a liquid detergent, start out with a very small amount, such as one or two tablespoons. Fabric Softener ­ We recommend that you use only 2 tablespoons of fabric softener. If more softening is desired, try using slightly more with the next load.
