Starting Your Washer

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.

3.Pour measured liquid chlorine bleach into the liquid chlorine bleach dispenser, if desired. Bleach is diluted and automatically dispensed during the wash cycle. See “SMART BLEACH™ Timed Bleach Dispenser.”

■Never use more than 1 cup (250 mL) for a full load. Use less for a smaller load size.

■Follow the manufacturer’s directions for safe use.

■To avoid spilling, use a cup with a pouring spout. Do not let bleach splash, drip, or run down into the washer basket.

■Use only liquid chlorine bleach in this dispenser.

4.Pour measured liquid fabric softener into the fabric softener dispenser, if desired.

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

1.Drop a load of sorted clothes loosely into the washer.

■Load evenly to maintain washer balance. Mix large and small items.

■Items should move easily through the wash water. Overloading can cause poor cleaning.

■To reduce wrinkling of permanent press clothes and some synthetic knits, use a large load size to provide more space (see step 6).

2.Pour measured powdered or liquid detergent into the detergent dispenser.

■Do not overfill. The dispenser holds 3 oz (94 mL), or a standard capful of fabric softener.

■The fabric softener is dispensed in the final rinse.

■Do not spill or drip any fabric softener on the clothes.

■Use only liquid fabric softener in this dispenser.

5.Close the washer lid.

6.Select a Cycle. The preset Soil Level, Load Size, and Water Temperature for the selected cycle will glow. See “Selecting a Cycle.”

■The preset settings provide the recommended fabric care for your selected cycle.

■You can change the preset settings by pressing the “Select” pad of each option until the desired setting glows.

■Your washer uses ACCUWASH™ temperature control system. When you select a cycle, the washer selects the recommended ACCUWASH setting for the type of fabric and soils being washed. See “ACCUWASH Temperature Control System.” For best fabric care, follow garment label instructions. See the Temperature Guide for more information.
