e ENERGY STAR® Certified LG 5.0 cu. Ft. Mega Capacity Smart Front Load Washer with TurboWash® 360° and AI DD® Built-In Intelligence, Model # WM6500HBA, is designed for use with only HE (High-Efficiency) 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. You need to use extra care when measuring 2X and 3X concentrated detergents because even a small amount of extra detergent can lead to problems, and you should 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. Laundry boosters come in all different formats. There are powders, liquids, and laundry power packs that you can add to the wash along with your laundry detergent. All laundry boosters work in standard washing machines, and some also work in HE washing machines. Check the product label to verify you can use your laundry additive of choice in an HE or washing machine. You have to add the enzyme booster according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically as a powder or liquid. You can add liquid or powdered detergent to the Pre-wash Detergent Compartment when using the Pre-wash option. Always use HE (High-Efficiency) detergent with the washer. When using the Pre-wash option, liquid detergent for the main wash needs to be loaded in the liquid detergent cup accessory in the main wash dispenser (where applicable), to prevent it from being dispensed with the pre-wash detergent. The amount of detergent added for the Pre-wash option is 1/2 the amount recommended for the main wash cycle. The Main Wash Detergent Compartment holds laundry detergent for the main wash cycle. Either powdered or liquid detergent may be used in this compartment. The detergent is added to the load at the beginning of the cycle. Always use HE (High-Efficiency) detergent with your washer. Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Using too much detergent can result in detergent buildup in clothing and the washer. Liquid or powdered color-safe bleach may be added to the main wash compartment with detergent of the same type. Do not mix liquids and powders. If the dispenser has a liquid detergent cup and insert: Make sure they are in place when using liquid detergent. Make sure to remove them when using powdered detergent. Powdered detergent will not dispense with the liquid detergent cup and insert in place. The liquid detergent cup has guidelines to show the amount of liquid detergent added...^Ivan.
