NOTES:

■ Use only HE detergents and follow label instructions.

■ Do not add detergent to the Pre Wash compartment

unless you have selected the Pre Wash option. If you

have detergent in both the Pre Wash and Main Wash

compartments, and have not selected a Pre Wash option,

the washer could oversuds. Suds could spill onto the

floor.

■ If you select the Pre Wash option, use powdered HE

detergent in the Main Wash compartment. If you use

liquid HE detergent in the Main Wash compartment, it will

dispense immediately.

■ Close the detergent drawer securely.

IMPORTANT: To avoid a water spill, do not open the

detergent drawer while the machine is operating.

4. Turn on the washer by selecting POWER.

5. Select one of the cycles by turning the cycle selector. The

preset settings provide the recommended fabric care for the

selected cycle. See “Cycles.”

6. Select the desired options. Not all options are available with

all cycles. See “Cycles.”

7. To begin the wash cycle, select START.

■ When the wash cycle is complete, the DONE status light

glows, the door unlocks, and the wash load can be

removed from the washer. To power down the washer

manually after the wash cycle is complete, press POWER

once.

Using the Dispenser

Your new washer has a dispenser drawer with three separate

compartments for your laundry products—two are for detergent,

and one is for liquid fabric softener. Laundry products are diluted

and dispensed automatically at the proper time during the wash

cycle, making it unnecessary for you to return to the washer

during the cycle to add them.

It is normal for small amounts of water to remain in the

dispensers when the wash cycle is complete.

Do not put laundry additives directly into the wash tub. Always

use the proper dispensers when adding laundry products.

Choosing the Right Detergent

Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package for this type of

detergent will be marked “HE” or “High Efficiency.” This wash

system, along with less water, will create too much sudsing with a

regular non-HE detergent. Using regular detergent will likely result

in washer errors, longer cycle times and reduced rinsing

performance. It may also result in component failures and

noticeable mold or mildew odors. HE detergents are made to

produce the right amount of suds for the best performance.

Follow the manufacturer's instructions to determine the amount

of HE detergent to use.

To fill dispenser compartments

NOTE: Always use the detergent dispenser, and do not put

detergent directly onto clothes in the washer.

1. Pull out the dispenser drawer.

2. Add the desired laundry product to the proper compartment.

3. Push in the dispenser drawer slowly and completely (to avoid

spills).

Pre Wash detergent compartment

(Letter A in Dispenser Illustration)

Add HE detergent to this compartment when using the Pre Wash

option. Liquid or powdered HE detergent may be used in this

compartment. The detergent will automatically be dispensed

during Pre Wash if the Pre Wash option is selected.

■ Using HE detergent, add ¹⁄₃ the recommended amount to the

Pre Wash compartment and ²⁄₃ the recommended amount to

the Main Wash compartment.

IMPORTANT: If you are using the Pre Wash option, powdered HE

detergent must be used in the Main Wash compartment, since

liquid detergents may seep out of the Main Wash compartment

before the main wash begins.

Main Wash detergent compartment

(Letter B in Dispenser Illustration)

Add liquid or powdered HE detergent to this compartment for

your main wash cycle.

IMPORTANT: If you are using the Pre Wash option, powdered HE

detergent must be used in the Main Wash compartment, since

liquid detergents may seep out of the Main Wash compartment

before the main wash begins.

Fabric Softener compartment

(Letter D in Dispenser Illustration)

Add ¼ cup (60 mL) liquid fabric softener to this compartment.

Fabric softener will be automatically dispensed in the final rinse.

■ Do not fill beyond the “MAX” level.

Use only HE High Efficiency detergent.
