WARNING

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.

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.

UsingtheProperDetergent

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.

First Wash Cycle Without Laundry

Before washing clothes for the first time, if not completed during the final installation step, choose the Normal/Casual cycle and run it without clothes. Use only HE High Efficiency detergent. Use ¹⁄₂ the manufacturer’s recommended amount for a medium-size load. This initial cycle serves to ensure the interior is clean before washing clothes.

For All Wash Cycles

1.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.

Wash small items, such as infant socks, in mesh garment bags. It is recommended that more than one garment bag be used, and that each garment bag be filled with equal amounts of material.

When unloading garments, check under the gray colored seal 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.

NOTES:

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 canceled.

See “To cancel a cycle” in “Changing, Cycles, Options and Modifiers” section.

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.”

Use only HE High Efficiency detergent.
