LED DISPLAY AND SETTINGS

When you select a cycle, its default settings will light up and the Estimated Cycle Time will be displayed (for times longer than 60 minutes, hours will be displayed, followed by minutes). 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.

USING THE DISPENSER DRAWER

1. Open the dispenser drawer.

2. Add laundry products as described in steps 4–6 in the

“Using Your Washer” section.

3. Slowly close the dispenser drawer. Make sure it is completely closed.

NOTE: A small amount of water may remain in the dispensers from the previous wash cycle. This is normal.

Adding HE detergent to dispenser

DISPENSER DRAWER

HE detergent

Liquid fabric

softener Chlorine bleach

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.

Selector

HE detergent compartment

Pour a measured amount of HE detergent into detergent compartment. For powdered detergent, lift the selector to the high position. For liquid detergent, push down the selector to the low position.

Do not overﬁll; adding too much detergent

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.

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.

2. Add laundry products (if desired)

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

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.

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.

USING LAUNDRY PRODUCT DISPENSERS

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.

4. Add HE detergent

Liquid

HE detergent

Adjust the selector, based on type of HE detergent used (either liquid or powdered). See “Using the Dispenser Drawer” instructions on how to use the dispenser.

Powdered

HE detergent

5. Add liquid fabric softener to dispenser

(if desired)

6. Add liquid chlorine bleach to dispenser

(if desired)

Add liquid chlorine bleach to the bleach compartment. Do not overﬁll, dilute, or use more than 2/3 cup (165 mL). Do not use color-safe bleach or Oxi in the same cycle with liquid chlorine bleach.

n

Always measure liquid chlorine bleach. Use a measuring cup with a pour spout; do not guess.

n

Do not ﬁll beyond the “MAX” level. Overﬁlling could cause garment damage.

7. Touch POWER/CANCEL to turn on

washer (optional)

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 overﬁll, dilute, or use more than 1/4 cup (60 mL) of fabric softener. Do not ﬁll past the MAX line. Overﬁlling dispenser will cause fabric softener to immediately dispense into washer.

n Do not spill or drip any fabric softener onto the clothes.

n Do not use liquid fabric softener dispenser balls in this washer.

They will not dispense correctly.

Slowly close the dispenser drawer. Make sure the drawer is closed completely; then touch POWER/CANCEL to turn on the washer or go to Step 8.

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.

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.
