LOADING YOUR WASHER

You can fill the Washer with dry, unfolded clothes; but DO NOT OVERLOAD the Washer.

Overloading may reduce washing efficiency, cause excess wear, and possibly cause creasing or wrinkling of the load.

Wash delicate items such as bras, hosiery, and other lingerie in the Delicates/Hand Wash cycle with similar lightweight items.

When washing big bulky items or a few smaller items that don’t fill the Washer completely – a rug, a pillow, stuffed toys, or one or two sweaters, for example – add a few towels to improve tumbling and spin performance.

Do not put king and queen size bed covering in the Washer.

During the spin cycle, the Washer may add additional water to redistribute the excessive unbalance inside the drum.

When washing heavily soiled loads, not overloading your Washer is very important to assure good cleaning results.

To add a forgotten item:

1.Press the Start/Pause Button.

2.Wait for the Door Lock light to go out (5 seconds)

3.Add the item, close the door, and press the Start/Pause Button. After a pause of 10 seconds, the cycle will resume.

To ensure thorough cleaning, add items within five minutes of starting the wash cycle.

Try washing bedding, towels, undergarments, and other articles that usually have close body contact using the SilverCare™ Option, which sanitizes using cold water.

GETTING STARTED

1.Load your Washer.

2.Close the door.

3.Add detergent and additives to the dispenser (see pages 15~16).

4.Select the appropriate cycle and options for the load (see pages 12~14).

5.Press the Start/Pause Button.

6.The Wash Indicator light will illuminate.

7.The estimated cycle time will appear in the display.

The time may fluctuate to better indicate the time remaining in the cycle.

The actual time required for a cycle may differ from the estimated time in the display depending on the water pressure, water temperature, detergent, and laundry.

8.Before your Washer starts to fill, it will make a series of clicking noises to check the door lock and do a quick drain.

When the cycle is complete, the Door Lock light will go out and “End” will appear in the display.

DO NOT attempt to open the door until the Door Lock light is off. To add a forgotten item, see “Loading your Washer” section. (page 11)

When your Washer is restarted after a pause, expect a delay of up to 15 seconds before the cycle continues.

Pressing Power cancels the cycle and stops your Washer.

The Pre Wash, Wash, Rinse and Spin indicator lights will illuminate during those portions of the cycle.
