1POWER/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.

2WASH 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.

3START

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.

4LED 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.

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.

5DELAY START

8DISPENSER 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.

AHigh Efficiency “HE” detergent compartment

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

BLiquid fabric softener compartment

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

ν Use only liquid fabric softener in this dispenser.

CLiquid 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.

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

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 may cause detergent to be dispensed into the washer too early.

Use only High Efficiency (HE) detergent.

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 1/4 full.

Medium load: Fill the washer drum up to about 1/2 full.

Large load: Fill the washer drum up to about 3/4 full.

Extra-large load: Fill the washer drum, but make sure clothes can tumble freely. For best results, avoid packing tightly.

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

2. Add laundry products (if desired)

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:

νEmpty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small object can plug pumps and may require a service call.

νClose zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings and sashes, and remove non-washable trim and ornaments.

νMend rips and tears to avoid further damage to items during washing.

νTurn 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.

νDo not dry garments if stains remain after washing, because heat can set stains into fabric.

νAlways 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.

νDepending 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.

νMix large and small items and avoid washing single items. Load evenly.

νWash 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	Powdered
HE detergent	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.

5. Add liquid fabric softener to dispenser (if desired)

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.

νDo not spill or drip any fabric softener onto the clothes.

νDo not use liquid fabric softener dispenser balls in this washer. They will not dispense correctly.

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.

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

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

7.Touch POWER/CANCEL to turn on washer (optional)

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.

USING YOUR WASHER

8. Select CYCLE* 10. Select an extra rinse, if desired*

Once you touch and hold START, you will hear the door lock, unlock, and lock again. The washer door will remain locked during the wash cycle.

Unlocking the door to add garments:

If you need to open the door to add 1 or 2 missed garments, you may do so while the “Add a Garment” light is lit.

Touch START once; the door will unlock once the washer movement has stopped. This may take several minutes. Then close door and touch and hold START again to restart the cycle.

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.

NOTE:

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

νThis 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:

νWear rubber gloves when cleaning with bleach.

νRefer to the bleach manufacturer’s instructions for proper use.
