  ■ Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT DETERGENT

Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package will be "HE" or "High Efficiency." Low-water washing creates excess suding with a non-HE detergent. Using non-HE detergent is likely result in longer cycle times and reduced rinsing performance. It may also result in component failure and, at time, buildup of mold or mildew. HE detergents should be suding and quick-dispersing to produce the right amount for the best performance. They should hold soil in suspec is not redeposited onto clean clothes. Not all detergents as High Efficiency are identical in formulation and their are reduce suds. For example, natural, organic, or homemade detergents may generate a high level of suds. If you use
