1POWER
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.
2WASH CYCLE KNOB
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 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 lbs or less, such as a soccer uniform or a running tank and shorts. Allow the cycle to run the full duration of 12 hours.
EXTRA POWER
Extra Power option can be used for increased cleaning power. Press the Wash Cycle Knob to activate the Extra Power option, which runs a cold pre-wash cycle before the main cycle. When Extra Power is activated, the Cycle Control Knob will illuminate and the estimated time remaining on the display will increase. On single load dispenser models, add an extra dose of detergent to the
Bleach/Detergent for Extra Power compartment when using Extra Power, for best results.
3START
Touch and hold for 3 seconds 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 Garment” LED is on.
4LED DISPLAY AND SETTINGS
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.
5CYCLE STATUS LIGHTS
NOTE: Not all Cycle Status Lights are available on all models.
The Cycle Status Lights show the progress of a cycle. At each stage of the process, you may notice sounds or pauses that are different from traditional washers.
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 spinning to sense the load size. 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.
Washing
During the wash cycle, this will display to let you know the cycle is in progress.
Add Garment
When “Add Garment” is lit, you may pause the washer, open the door, and add items. Touch and hold START to start the washer again.
Detergent Low
When detergent in the dispenser is running low, the display will show the detergent level (Low).
6 OPTIONS
Touch to activate additional wash options or additional features on the washer. Not all options are available on all models.
ADelay Start
Touch this option to delay the start of the wash cycle by up to 12 hours.
6
BFresh Hold®/Fresh SpinTM
The Fresh Hold®/Fresh SpinTM option will periodically tumble the load after the end of the cycle for up to 24 hours while the integrated fan circulates air through the washer to reduce humidity. Fresh Spin™ also periodically tumbles the load after the end of the cycle but does not use an integrated fan. To turn on the Fresh Hold®/Fresh Spin™ option, touch FRESH HOLD. If, however, the Fresh Hold®/Fresh Spin™ 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 Fresh Hold®/Fresh Spin™ option, touch FRESH HOLD.
To turn off the Fresh Hold®/Fresh Spin™ option when it is running, touch POWER.
NOTE: The door will lock while the Fresh Hold®/Fresh Spin™ option is active. To cancel the option and unlock the door, touch POWER.
CSteam
The Steam option adds additional soak and wash time to many cycles to help remove tough stains as well as a steam boost for added cleaning power. An integrated heater helps to maintain optimal wash temperatures.
DExtra Rinse
Activate this option to add an extra rinse to most cycles.
ECycle Signal
Touch and hold CYCLE SIGNAL for about 3 seconds the display will count down you will see “3,” then “2,” then “1.” The display will start displaying the sound levels you will see “1,” then “2,” then “3,” then “OFF.” When the CYCLE SIGNAL is released the last value shown will be the current selection.
7 DISPENSERS
Optimal Dispense Drawer (on some models)
The Optimal Dispense 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 Optimal Dispense Drawer” for information on using the dispenser drawer.

For single dose dispensers and an additional 1/2 the manufacturer’s recommended amount into the dispenser marked for Extra Power. For the Optimal Dispenser it will automatically dispense the detergent at the optimal time.

CYCLE GUIDE
Settings and options shown in bold are default settings for that cycle. For best fabric care, choose the cycle, options, and settings that best fit the load being washed. Not all settings are available with each cycle and some options cannot be used together.
Not all cycles and options are available on all models.
Load Size Recommendations
For best results, follow the load size recommendations noted for each cycle.
Small load: Fill the washer drum with 3–4 items, not more than ¼ full.
Medium load: Fill the washer drum up to about ½ full.
Large load: Fill the washer drum up to about ¾ full.
Extra-large load: Fill the washer drum, but make sure clothes can tumble freely. For best results, avoid packing tightly.
