••Clothing or articles that are waterproof or water resistant must be washed in the Bedding cycle only. (e.g. water resistant clothing, mattress covers, outdoor clothes, plastic mats, etc.) Otherwise, it may result in personal injury or damage to the washer, clothes, walls, floor, and surrounding objects due to abnormal vibration.

••Remove the stuffing from pillows and cushions before washing the covers. Failure to do so can cause excessive vibration, resulting in damage to the washer, clothes, nearby objects, walls, and floor.

Grouping Similar Items

For the best washing results, and to reduce the possibility of damage to clothing, care should be taken to sort the clothing into loads that are made up of similar items.

Mixing different fabric types and/or soil levels can result in poor wash performance, color transfer, discoloration, fabric damage or linting. Fabrics should be sorted into groups as described below.

Colors

Sort articles by color. Wash dark clothes together in a separate load from light colors or whites. Mixing dark clothes with light clothes can result in dye transfer or discoloration of the lighter clothes.

Soil Level

Wash heavily soiled clothing together. Washing lightly soiled clothing in the same load with heavily soiled clothing could result in poor wash performance for the lightly soiled clothing.

Fabric Type

Delicate articles should not be mixed with heavy or sturdy fabric types. Washing heavy fabrics in a delicate load can result in poor wash performance for the heavy fabrics and possible damage to the delicates.

Lint Type

Some fabrics attract and bind lint to them while others give off lint in the laundry process. Avoid mixing these lint collectors and lint producers in the same load.

Mixing these fabrics will result in pilling and linting on the lint collectors. (For example, lint collector—knit sweater; lint producer—terry cloth towels.)

OPERATION 19

Loading the Washer

••Check and empty pockets. Paper clips, coins, matches, etc. can damage clothing and the washer.

••Close zippers and hooks, and tie drawstrings to prevent snagging or tangling of clothes.

••Pretreat heavily stained areas for best results.

••Combine large and small items in a load. Load large items first. Large items should not be more than half of total load.

••The washer can be fully loaded, but the drum should not be tightly packed with items. The door of the washer must close easily.

••Do not wash single small items. Add 1-2 similar items to the load to prevent an out-of-balance load.

••Wash thick, bulky items individually. Heavy blankets, comforters, bedspreads, or pet beds can get tangled or cause an unbalanced load if combined with other items.

••Do not wash/spin waterproof items. Washing raincoats or sleeping bags may result in abnormal vibration or may cause the load to bounce, which could damage the drum.

••Wash small, light items in a mesh bag. Items like underwear can get caught in the door seal, and a brassiere hook may damage other items or the drum.

••Brush off heavy soil, dust, and hair from items before washing. Excess dirt or sand can abrade other fabrics and lead to poor wash performance.

••For best performance, load clothes as shown.

ENGLISH

20 OPERATION

IMPORTANT:

••Do not place or store laundry products, such as detergent, bleach, or liquid fabric softener, on top of your washer or dryer. Wipe up any spills immediately. These products can damage the machine's finish and controls.

Pre-Wash Detergent Compartment

Add liquid or powdered detergent to this compartment when using the Pre-Wash option. Always use HE

(High-Efficiency) detergent with your washer.

••When using the Pre-Wash option, liquid detergent for the main wash needs to be loaded in the liquid detergent cup accessory in the main wash dispenser, to prevent it from being dispensed with the pre-wash detergent.

••The amount of detergent added for the Pre-Wash option is 1/2 the amount recommended for the main wash cycle. For example, if the main wash cycle requires one measure of detergent, add 1/2 measure for the Pre-Wash option.

Main Wash Detergent Compartment

This compartment holds laundry detergent for the main wash cycle. Either powdered or liquid detergent may be used in this compartment. The detergent

is added to the load at the beginning of the cycle.

Always use HE (High-Efficiency) detergent with your washer.

NOTE

••Never exceed the manufacturer’s recommendations when adding detergent. Using too much detergent can result in detergent buildup in clothing and the washer.

••Liquid or powdered color-safe bleach may be added to the main wash compartment with detergent of the same type.

••When using liquid detergent, make sure the liquid detergent cup and insert are in place. Do not exceed the maximum fill line.

••When using powdered detergent, remove the insert and liquid detergent cup from the compartment. Powdered detergent will not dispense with the liquid detergent cup and insert in place.

••If you use a detergent that does not dissolve easily or a detergent with high viscosity, it will leave a residue and may clog on the dispenser.

Liquid Bleach Compartment

This compartment holds liquid bleach, which is dispensed automatically at the proper time during the wash cycle. The dispenser is activated twice to ensure complete dispensing of the bleach. Any liquid remaining in the dispenser at the end of the cycle is water, not bleach.

••Do not add powdered bleach to this compartment. The bleach compartment is designed to dispense liquid chlorine bleach only. Powdered or liquid colorsafe bleach will not dispense properly.

••Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations when adding bleach. Never add more than one cup and do not exceed the maximum fill line since this can cause the bleach to be dispensed immediately, resulting in damage to fabrics. Using too much bleach can damage fabrics.

••Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto the load or into the drum. Fabric damage can occur.

••Do not use color-safe bleach or Oxi products in the same cycle with liquid chlorine bleach.

WARNING

••Do NOT mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such as vinegar or rust/scale remover. Mixing chemicals like these can produce a lethal gas, resulting in severe injury or death.

OPERATION 21

Fabric Softener Compartment

This compartment holds liquid fabric softener, which is automatically dispensed during the final rinse cycle.

Do not exceed the manufacturer’s recommendations when adding softener. Using too much fabric softener can result in buildup in clothing and the washer.

Either powdered or liquid fabric softener may be used.

••Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations when adding fabric softener. Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Using too much fabric softener may stain clothes.

••Dilute concentrated fabric softeners with warm water. Do not exceed the maximum fill line.

••Never pour fabric softener directly onto the load or into the drum.

Detergent Use

This washer is designed for use with only HE (High-

Efficiency) detergents. HE detergents produce fewer suds, dissolve more efficiently to improve washing and rinsing performance, and help to keep the interior of the washer clean. Using detergent that is not HE may cause oversudsing and unsatisfactory performance which could result in error codes, cycle failure, and machine damage.

Designed specially to use only HE

(High-Efficiency) detergent

••Do not use more than one detergent pod in the washer. Using too much detergent may cause oversudsing and unsatisfactory performance.

Reduce detergent amount or add an extra rinse if detergent residue is left on fabrics. To add an extra rinse, press the Extra Rinse button.

	Maximum
	Normal Load Amount
Liquid	Powdered
detergent	detergent

Detergent Pods

Place liquid or powdered detergent pods in the drum before loading laundry. Do not place pods in the dispenser.

••For proper wash performance, always measure detergent using the measuring device provided by the detergent manufacturer. For an average load, use less than half of the recommended maximum. Use less detergent for soft water, light soil, or smaller loads.

••Never use more than the maximum amount of detergent recommended by the manufacturer. Using too much detergent can lead to oversudsing, poor rinsing, detergent buildup in clothing, and residue buildup that can contribute to odors in the machine.

••Use extra care when measuring 2X and 3X concentrated detergents because even a small amount extra can lead to problems.

••Detergents designated as HE-compatible may not provide optimal results.
