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.

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. 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. See “Options.”

6.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.

7.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. To power down the washer manually after the wash cycle is complete, select PAUSE/CANCEL once.
