Use the checkboxes to keep track as you read. Stop at any warning or step that does not match your appliance.
Use HE detergent and match the dose to concentration, load and soil. Do not add a second dose when bulk dispensing is active.
What to noteThe next load should produce less foam.
If garments remain poorly rinsed, use the manual-approved rinse/spin option. Persistent foam needs a detergent and drainage review.
