WASHER USE

Starting Your Washer

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to

persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before

operating this appliance.

The following is a guide to using your washer. Please refer to

specific sections of this manual for more detailed information.

Do not store laundry products on the top surface of this washer.

Vibration is normal during operation.

First Wash Cycle Without Laundry

Before washing clothes for the first time, choose NORMAL/

CASUAL cycle and run it without clothes. After installation, if a

complete cycle has not been run without clothes, use ¹⁄₂ the

normal recommended amount of powdered or liquid High

Efficiency (HE) detergent or ¼ the normal recommended amount

of regular powdered or liquid detergent. This initial cycle serves

to ensure the interior is clean before washing clothes.

1. To load washer

Open the washer door by pulling on the handle. Sort laundry

according to color and type of fabric. Place a load of sorted

clothes in the washer. Do not overload washer. Overloading

can cause poor cleaning.

■ The washer can be fully loaded, but not tightly packed.

Washer door should close easily.

■ Mix large and small items and avoid washing single items.

Load evenly.

■ It is recommended that you wash small items such as

infant socks in a mesh garment bag.

■ When unloading garments, occasionally check under the

rubber rim at the front of the tub for small items.

2. Close the washer door by pushing it firmly until the lock

clicks. The washer door will remain locked during the wash

cycle.

NOTE: After any wash cycle is completed, the door must be

opened and then closed before a new cycle can begin. The

door can be opened only if PAUSE/CANCEL is selected while

the ADD A GARMENT light is glowing or if the cycle has been

cancelled. See “To Cancel a Cycle.”

3. Open the Dispenser Drawer and add laundry products to the

detergent, bleach, or fabric softener compartments. Close

drawer slowly to avoid spills. See “Using the Dispenser.”

NOTE:

For best performance, use High Effficiency detergents.

The package for this type of detergent will be marked “HE” or

“High Efficiency.” The wash action along with less water could

create too much sudsing with a regular detergent.

4. Turn on the washer by selecting one of the wash cycles. The

indicator light for the selected cycle will glow. When selecting

a wash cycle, the preset cycle, Water Temp, Spin Speed, and

soil level for the selected cycle will glow. The display shows

the estimated time remaining. The preset settings provide the

recommended fabric care for the selected cycle. See

“Cycles.”

5. Select the desired OPTIONS. Not all options are available

with all cycles. See “Options.”

6. Select the desired MODIFIERS. Not all modifiers are available

with all cycles and options. See “Modifiers.”

7. If desired, select the END OF CYCLE SIGNAL. The signal is

helpful when you are washing items that should be removed

from the washer as soon as it stops. Select LOUDER or

SOFTER.

8. To begin the wash cycle

Select CONTROL ON.

■ If you do not select HOLD TO START within 5 minutes of

choosing a cycle, the washer automatically shuts off.

■ When the wash cycle is complete, the CYCLE

COMPLETE status light glows, the door unlocks, and the

wash load can be removed from the washer. The washer

powers down automatically 5 minutes after the cycle is

complete and the CYCLE COMPLETE light is goes off. To

power down the washer manually after the wash cycle is

complete, select PAUSE/CANCEL once.

Fire Hazard

Never place items in the washer that are

dampened with gasoline or other flammable

fluids.

No washer can completely remove oil.

Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of

oil on it (including cooking oils).

Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
