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 "H E" detergent compartment
This compartment holds liquid or powdered H E detergent for
your main wash cycle.

the optimum time in the cycle.
[] Use only liquid fabric softener in this dispenser.
Liquid chlorine bleach compartment
m
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.

Fire Hazard
Never place items in the washer that are dampened
with gasoline or other fiarnmable 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.
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.
1, Sort and prepare your laundry
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
f2, Add laundry products
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.
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.
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.
[] Depending on load type and cycle, the washer can be fully
loaded, but not tightly packed. Washer door should close easily.

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 prevent the buildup of
odor-causing residue,

Choix du detergent approprie
Utiliser uniquement des detergents Haute efficacite. L.'emballage

Un lavage avec faible consommation d'eau produit un exces
de mousse avec un detergent non HE ordinaire. II est probable
que I'utilisation d'un detergent ordinaire prolongera la duree des
programmes et reduira la performance de ringage. Cec[ peut auss[
entratner des defa[llances de composants et, avec le temps, une
accumulation de moisissure. Les detergents HE produisent peu de
mousse et se dissolvent rapidement pour produire une quant[te de
mousse ideale pour une performance optimale. IIs retiennent les
particules de salete en suspension afin qu'elles ne se redeposent
pas sur les v&tements propres. Suivre les recommandations du
fabricant pour determiner la quantite de detergent & utiliser.
