POWER
1
Touch to turn the washer on and off. Touch to stop/cancel
a cycle at any time.
NOTE: Turning the Wash Cycle knob will also turn the
washer on.
WASH CYCLE KNOB
2
Turn the knob to select a cycle for your laundry load. Press
the Wash Cycle knob to enable the Extra Power option.
NOTE: The Clean Washer with affresh LED will ash when
the washer has run 30 wash cycles as a reminder to run the
Clean Washer with affresh cycle.
See “Cycle Guide” for detailed descriptions of cycles.
NOTE: For best results when using the Overnight Wash &

LED DISPLAY AND SETTINGS
4
When you select a cycle, its default settings will light up and
the Estimated Time Remaining will be displayed. Factors
such as load size, wash temperature, and water pressure
may affect the time shown in the display. Tightly packing,
unbalanced loads, or excessive suds may cause the washer
to lengthen the cycle time as well.
Touch the desired setting on the display to adjust. See
“Cycle Guide” for available settings on each cycle. Not all
settings are available with all cycles.
Temp
The recommended wash temperature is preset for each
cycle. You may also select a wash temperature based
on the type of fabric and soils being washed. For best
results, use the warmest wash water safe for your
fabric, following the garment label instructions. All wash
temperatures feature a cold rinse.
Spin
This washer automatically selects the spin speed
based on the cycle selected. Some preset speeds
can be changed.
■ Faster spin speeds mean shorter dry times but may
increase wrinkling in your load.
■ Slower spin speeds reduce wrinkling but will leave
your load more damp.
Soil
Soil Level (wash time) is preset for each wash cycle.
When you change the soil setting, the cycle time will
increase or decrease in the Estimated Cycle Time
display.
For most loads, use the soil level that is preset with the
cycle you have chosen. For heavily soiled and sturdy
fabrics, use the Soil Level setting to select a higher soil
level. For lightly soiled and delicate fabrics, use the Soil
Level setting to select a lower soil level. Lower soil level
settings will help reduce tangling and wrinkling.

***Spin speed varies by model.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT DETERGENT
Use only High Efciency detergents. The package will be
marked “HE” or “High Efciency.” Low-water washing creates
excessive sudsing with a non-HE detergent. Using non-HE
detergent will likely result in longer cycle times and reduced
rinsing performance. It may also result in component failure and,
over time, buildup of mold or mildew. HE detergents should be
low-sudsing and quick-dispersing to produce the right amount
of suds for the best performance. They should hold soil in
suspension so it is not redeposited onto clean clothes. Not all
detergents labeled as High Efciency are identical in formulation
and their ability to reduce suds. For example, natural, organic,
or homemade HE detergents may generate a high level of suds.
If you use one of these and see an “Sd” or “Sud” error code
appear in the display, consider using a different HE detergent.
Always follow the detergent manufacturer’s instructions to
determine the amount of detergent to use. Do not go over the
Max line on the dispenser.
Use only High Efficiency
(HE) detergent.
About Detergent Dosing
If you do not get your desired cleaning results, try using a larger
amount of detergent. If you have excess suds, try using less
detergent.
NOTES:
■ A small amount of water may remain in the dispensers from
the previous wash cycle. This is normal.
■ To add single-dose and Oxi-type boosters, see the “Using
Your Washer” section.
Page 11
USING YOUR WASHER
First wash cycle without laundry
Before washing clothes for the rst time, add liquid or powdered
HE detergent to the detergent dispenser. Choose the Quick
Wash cycle and run it without clothes. Use only HE detergent.
This initial cycle serves to ensure the interior is clean and the
dispenser drawer is ready for use before washing clothes.
1. Sort and prepare your laundry
Sort items by recommended cycle, water temperature,
and colorfastness. Separate heavily soiled items from lightly
soiled. Separate delicate items from sturdy fabrics. Treat
stains promptly and check for colorfastness by testing stain
remover products on an inside seam.
IMPORTANT:
■ Empty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small
object can plug pumps and may require a service call.
■ Close zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings and sashes,
and remove non-washable trim and ornaments.
■ Mend rips and tears to avoid further damage to items
during washing.
■ Turn knits inside out to prevent pilling. Separate lint-takers from
lint-givers. Synthetics, knits, and corduroy fabrics will pick up
lint from towels, rugs, and chenille fabrics.
■ Do not dry garments if stains remain after washing because
heat can set stains into fabric.
■ Always read and follow fabric care labels and laundry
product instructions. Improper usage may cause damage
to your garments.
2. Add laundry products (if desired)
Single-dose laundry packets, Oxi-type boosters, color-safe
bleach, or fabric softener crystals can be added to the drum
prior to adding laundry.
NOTE: Always follow manufacturer’s instructions.
Page 12
3. Load laundry into washer
Place a load of sorted items loosely in the washer. Items need
to move freely for best cleaning and to reduce wrinkling and
tangling. Close the washer door by pushing it rmly until the
latch clicks.
■ Depending on load type and cycle, the washer can be fully
loaded but not tightly packed. Washer door should close
easily. See “Cycle Guide” for loading suggestions.
■ Mix large and small items and avoid washing single items.
Load evenly.
■ Wash small items in mesh garment bags. For multiple items,
use more than one bag and ll bags equally.
4. Add HE detergent
Single Load Dispenser Drawer
5. Add liquid fabric softener to dispenser
(if desired)
Single Load Dispenser Drawer
Pour a measured amount of liquid fabric softener into
liquid fabric softener compartment. Always follow
manufacturer’s directions for correct amount of fabric
softener based on your load size.
Fabric softener is always dispensed in the last rinse,
even if Extra Rinse is selected.
IMPORTANT: Do not overll, dilute, or use more than
manufacturer's recommendation for dosing of fabric
softener. Do not ll past the Max line. Overlling dispenser
will cause fabric softener to immediately dispense into
washer.
■ Do not spill or drip any fabric softener onto the clothes.
■ Do not use liquid fabric softener dispenser balls in this
washer. They will not dispense correctly.
Liquid
HE detergent
Adjust the selector, based on type of HE detergent used
(either liquid or powdered). See “Using the Dispenser
Drawer” section on how to use the dispenser.
■ Push load fully into washer. Make sure no items are resting on
the rubber seal to avoid trapping them between the seal and
the door glass.
NOTE: Do not add single-dose laundry packets, Oxi-type
boosters, color-safe bleach, or fabric softener crystals to
dispensers. They will not dispense correctly.
Powdered
HE detergent
6. Add liquid chlorine bleach
to dispenser (if desired)
Single Load Dispenser Drawer
Add liquid chlorine bleach to the bleach compartment.
Do not overll, dilute, or use more than manufacturer's
recommendation for dosing. Do not use color-safe bleach
or Oxi in the same cycle with liquid chlorine bleach.
IMPORTANT:
■ Always measure liquid chlorine bleach. Use a measuring
cup with a pour spout; do not guess.
■ Do not ll beyond the Max level. Overlling could cause
garment damage.
■ Do not use thickened, easy-pour, or no-splash bleach
when running the Clean Washer with affresh cycle as
excess suds may occur.

Page 15
WASHER MAINTENANCE
WATER INLET HOSES
Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk
of hose failure. Periodically inspect and replace inlet hoses
if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found.
When replacing your inlet hoses:
■ Mark the date of replacement on the label with a permanent
marker.
■ Check that the old washers are not stuck on the washer
inlet valves.
■ Use new washers in the new inlet hoses to ensure
a proper seal.
WASHER CARE
Recommendations to Help Keep Your Washer Clean
and Performing at Its Best
1. Always use High Efciency (HE) detergents and follow
the HE detergent manufacturer’s instructions regarding
the amount of HE detergent to use. Never use more than
the recommended amount because that may increase the
rate at which detergent and soil residue accumulate inside
your washer which, in turn, may result in undesirable odor.
2. Use warm or hot water washes sometimes (not exclusively
cold water washes) because they do a better job of
controlling the rate at which soils and detergent accumulate.
3. Always leave the washer door slightly ajar between
uses to help dry out the washer and avoid the buildup
