4.Turn on the washer by selecting POWER. Select one of the cycles by turning the cycle selector. The indicator light for the selected cycle will illuminate. When you are selecting a wash cycle, the preset modifiers (Soil Level, Wash Temp and Spin Speed) for the cycle, will illuminate. Selectable option settings will glow amber. If an option or modifier is unavailable with the selected cycle, the light will not illuminate. The preset settings provide the recommended fabric care for the selected cycle. The display shows the estimated time remaining. 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 CYCLE SIGNAL. The signal is helpful when you are washing items that should be removed from the washer as soon as it stops. Select LOUD, SOFT or OFF.

8.To begin the wash cycle immediately

Select and hold START (for approximately 1 second).

If you do not select START within 5 minutes of choosing a cycle, the washer automatically shuts off.

When the wash cycle is complete, the CLOTHES CLEAN status light glows, the door unlocks, and the wash load can be removed from the washer. The washer powers down automatically 60 minutes after the cycle is complete and the CLOTHES CLEAN light goes off.

9.To begin the wash cycle later

Select Delay Start until the desired delay time (in hours) shows in the Estimated Time Remaining display. Select START. The countdown to the wash cycle will show in the display window, and the button indicator will blink until the cycle begins.

IMPORTANT: When delaying a cycle, use only powdered detergents in the main wash compartment since liquid detergents may seep out of the compartment during Delay Start, before the wash cycle begins.

Using the Dispenser

Your new washer has a dispenser drawer with four separate compartments for your laundry products—one is for high efficiency detergent, one is for liquid chlorine bleach, one is for liquid fabric softener and one is for oxygen based stain fighters or color-safe bleach. 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 products 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. 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 detergent to use.

Use only “HE” High Efficiency detergent.

To fill dispenser compartments

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 a spill).
