Model MHW7100D

Model MHW5400D

Model MHW4100D

POWER/CANCEL

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 and off.

WASH CYCLE KNOB

Turn the knob to select a cycle for your laundry load. An LED will light up for the cycle selected.

NOTE: The Clean Washer with affresh® LED will ﬂash 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 & Dry

cycle, use for loads weighing 2.5 pounds and less, such as a soccer uniform or a running tank and shorts.

START

Touch and hold until the light above START comes on to start a cycle, or touch once while a cycle is in process to pause it. If you want to add a garment, you can touch START when the “Add a Garment” LED is on.

LED DISPLAY AND SETTINGS

When you select a cycle, its default settings will light up and the Estimated Cycle Time will be displayed. Factors such as load size, wash temperature, and water pressure may affect the time shown in the display during the cycle. Tightly packing garments, unbalanced loads, or excessive suds may cause the washer to adjust the cycle time, as well.

Touch the desired setting along the right of the display to adjust. See “Cycle Guide” for available settings on each cycle. Not all settings are available with all cycles.

Temperature

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, follow the garment label instructions. All wash temperatures feature a cold rinse.

Soil Level

The Soil Level setting (wash time) is preset for each wash cycle. For most loads, use this preset soil level. When you change the soil setting, the cycle time will increase or decrease in the Estimated Cycle Time display.

For heavily soiled and sturdy fabrics, use the Soil Level setting to select more wash time. For lightly soiled and delicate fabrics, use the Soil Level setting to select less wash time. Lower soil level settings will help reduce tangling and wrinkling.

Spin Speed

This washer automatically selects the spin speed based on the cycle selected. Some preset speeds can be changed.

Higher

spin speeds mean shorter dry times, but may

increase wrinkling in your load.

Lower spin speeds reduce wrinkling, but will leave your load more damp.

DELAY START

Use + and – to delay the start of the wash cycle by 9 to 12 hours, depending on model. To turn off Delay Start, use + and – to set the delay time to “0,” or touch POWER/CANCEL.

CYCLE STATUS LIGHTS

NOTE: Not all Cycle Status Lights are available

on all models.

Delay

If a Delay Start is set, the Delay indicator will light and the delay time will count down in the display.

Door Locked

Door Locked will light to indicate that the door is locked and cannot be opened without ﬁrst pausing or canceling the cycle.

Sensing

When START is touched and held, the washer will ﬁrst perform a self-test on the door lock mechanism and the sensing light will come on. You will hear a click, the drum will make a partial turn, and the door will click again as it unlocks brieﬂy. The door will click one more time when it locks again.

Once the door has locked the second time, the washer will begin tumbling and adding water. This sensing process will continue throughout the cycle. You may also hear water ﬂowing through the dispenser, adding detergent to the load.

After the load size is sensed, the estimated time based on load size will be displayed. The actual cycle time may be lengthened; however, the display will continue to show the estimated time.

The sensing light will blink once a second at various times during the cycle, such as when the washer is reducing extra suds.

Add a Garment

When “Add a Garment” is lit, you may pause the washer, open the door, and add items. Touch and hold START to start the washer again.

Steaming

This will light to show that the cycle is using a steam boost for added cleaning power.

Done

Once the cycle is complete, this light will come on. Remove the load promptly for best results. The Done indicator is also lit during Fresh Hold® or Fresh Spin™ option.

OPTIONS

Touch to activate additional wash options or additional features on the washer. Not all options are available on all models.

Fresh Hold® Option (on some models)

The Fresh Hold® option will periodically tumble the load after the end of the cycle for 12 hours while the integrated fan circulates air through the washer to reduce humidity. To turn on the Fresh Hold® option, touch Fresh Hold. If, however, the Fresh Hold® option is turned on, it will stay on for all future cycles until turned back off – the washer remembers the last on/off status set.

To turn off the tones that sound when a setting is touched: Touch and hold CYCLE SIGNAL for about 3 seconds. Repeat to turn them on.

Control Lock

Touch and hold for 3 seconds to lock the controls to avoid unwanted changes or operation. Touch and hold 3 seconds again to unlock. For each second CONTROL LOCK is held down, the display will count down one second: you will see “3,” then “2,” then “1.” You may still touch START to pause the cycle, or touch POWER/ CANCEL to turn off the washer.

CONTROL PANEL AND FEATURES

DISPENSER DRAWER

The dispenser drawer gives you the convenience of automatically adding HE detergent, liquid chlorine bleach, and liquid fabric softener to the wash load at the proper time. See “Using the Dispenser Drawer” for information on using the dispenser drawer.

High Efﬁciency “HE” detergent compartment

This compartment holds liquid or powdered HE detergent for your main wash cycle.

Liquid fabric softener compartment

Automatically dilutes and dispenses liquid fabric softener at the optimum time in the cycle.

Use only liquid fabric softener in this dispenser.

Liquid chlorine bleach compartment

Automatically dilutes and dispenses liquid chlorine bleach at the optimum time during the ﬁrst rinse after the wash cycle. This compartment cannot dilute powdered bleach.

Choosing the Right Detergent

Use only High Efﬁciency detergents. The package will be marked “HE” or “High Efﬁciency.” 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 are low-sudsing and quick-dispersing to produce the right amount of suds for the best performance. They hold soil in suspension so it is not re-deposited onto clean clothes. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to determine the amount of detergent to use.

Use only High Efﬁciency (HE) detergent.

Use this cycle for extremely soiled

garments and household items that need additional cleaning power.

* Steam for Stains option is only available when warm, hot or extra hot water temperature is selected.

† Allergen

Allergen cycle certiﬁed by NSF International, an independent, third party testing and certiﬁcation organization. The certiﬁcation veriﬁed that this cycle reduced tested allergens by at least 95.0% and maintained the water temperature necessary to kill dust mites. Only the allergen cycle has been designed to meet the requirements of NSF Protocol P351 for Allergen Reduction Performance effectiveness.

USING YOUR WASHER

First wash cycle without laundry

Before washing clothes for the ﬁrst time, if not completed during the ﬁnal installation step, choose the NORMAL cycle and run it without clothes. Use only HE 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.

2. Add laundry products

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:

n Empty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small object can

plug pumps and may require a service call.

n Close zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings and sashes, and remove

non-washable trim and ornaments.

n Mend rips and tears to avoid further damage to items

during washing.

n 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.

n Do not dry garments if stains remain after washing, because heat

can set stains into fabric.

n Always read and follow fabric care labels and laundry

product instructions. Improper usage may cause damage to your garments.

Single-dose laundry packet, Oxi-type boosters, color-safe bleach, or fabric softener crystals can be added to the drum prior to adding laundry.

NOTE: Do not add clothes to washer drum prior to adding laundry products. Always follow manufacturer’s instructions.

3. Load laundry into washer

Place a load of sorted clothes 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 ﬁrmly until the latch clicks.

n 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.

n Mix large and small items and avoid washing single items. Load

evenly.

n Wash small items in mesh garment bags. For multiple items, use

more than one bag and ﬁll bags equally.

13. Remove garments promptly

after cycle is ﬁnished

Promptly remove garments after cycle has completed to avoid odor and rusting of metal objects on garments. When unloading garments, pull back the door seal and check for small items between the tub and the washer drum.

If you will be unable to remove the load promptly, use the Fresh Hold® or Fresh Spin™ option (depending on model). the Fresh Hold® option will activate the fan and tumble the load periodically for up to 12 hours. The Fresh Spin™ option will tumble the load periodically for up to 6 hours. To turn off the Fresh Hold® or Fresh Spin™ option, touch POWER/CANCEL. To set the washer so that the Fresh Hold®/ Fresh Spin™ option does not come on for future cycles, touch Fresh Hold® or Fresh Spin™ option.

NOTE:

The door will remain locked while the Fresh Hold®/Fresh Spin™ option is active. To cancel the option and unlock the door, touch POWER/CANCEL.

A small amount of water may remain in the dispensers after the wash cycle is complete. This is normal.

This washer has a tight seal to avoid water leaks. To avoid odors, leave the door open to allow the washer to dry between uses.

If selected,

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.

WASHER CARE

Recommendations to Help Keep Your Washer Clean and Performing at its Best

1. Always use High Efﬁciency (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 of odor-causing residue.

4. Periodically clean residue from the underside of the glass window.

Cleaning Your Front Loading Washer

Read these instructions completely before beginning the routine cleaning processes recommended below. This Washer Maintenance Procedure should be performed, at a minimum, once per month or every 30 wash cycles, whichever occurs sooner, to control the rate at which soils and detergent may otherwise accumulate in your washer.

Cleaning the Door Seal

1. Open the washer door and remove any clothing or items from

the washer.

2. Inspect the colored seal between the door opening and the drum for stained areas or soil buildup. Pull back the seal to inspect all areas under the seal and to check for foreign objects.

3. If stained areas or soil buildup are found, wipe down these areas of the seal using either of the following two procedures:

a. affresh® Grit Grabber™ Cloth Procedure: i. When the cycle is complete, gently pull back the rubber

door seal and clean the entire surface with the rough side of the Grit Grabber™ cloth.

b. Dilute Liquid Chlorine Bleach Procedure:

i. Mix a dilute bleach solution, using 3/4 cup (177 mL) of

liquid chlorine bleach and 1 gallon (3.8 L) of warm tap water.

ii. Wipe the seal area with the dilute solution, using

a damp cloth. iii. Let stand 5 minutes. iv. Wipe down area thoroughly with a dry cloth and let

washer interior air dry with door open. IMPORTANT:

n Wear rubber gloves when cleaning with bleach. n Refer to the bleach manufacturer’s instructions for

proper use.
