LED DISPLAY AND SETTINGS BUTTONS
5
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. Overloading, unbalanced loads, or excessive suds may cause the washer to adjust the cycle time, as well.
Use the buttons along the bottom of the display to adjust settings. See “Cycle Guide” for available settings on each cycle. Not all settings are available with all cycles.
Cycle Status Lights
The indicator bar at the top of the display will let you know what stage of the wash cycle is in process, as well as when the door is locked or if you can still add an item. For more information on each stage, see “Cycle Status Lights”.
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, use the warmest wash water safe for your fabric, following the garment label instructions. All wash temperatures feature a cold rinse, except Warm*, which has a warm wash and a warm rinse.
Spin Speed
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 Level
Soil level (wash time) is preset for each wash cycle. As you press the Soil Level button, the cycle time will increase or decrease in the Estimated Time Remaining display.
For most loads, use the soil level that is preset with the cycle you have chosen. For heavily soiled and sturdy fabrics, press Soil Level to select more wash time. For lightly soiled and delicate fabrics, press Soil Level to select less wash time. Lower soil level settings will help reduce tangling and wrinkling.
Cycle Signal
Use this option to adjust volume of the signal that sounds at end of cycle.
NOTE: You may also turn off the tones that sound when a button is pressed. Press and hold the EcoBoost button for about one second to turn button sounds on or off.
6
OPTION BUTTONS
Use these buttons to activate additional wash options or additional features on the washer. Not all options are available on all models.
EcoBoost™ option
Press to activate the EcoBoost™ option. The EcoBoost™ option provides additional energy savings through reduced hot water usage and maintains cleaning performance by lengthening the wash time on some cycles. NOTE: Press and hold the EcoBoost button for about one second to turn button sounds on or off.
OXI Dispense (on some models)
Turn this option on when using Oxi boost products in the dispenser to ensure they are dispensed at the optimal time in the cycle. Oxi Dispense is not available on the Quick Wash, Delicates, or Handwash cycle.
Presoak
Press to add a Presoak to a wash cycle to help loosen tough stains. On models with Steam, you may add detergent to the Oxi compartment for Presoak.
Deep Clean (on some models)
The Deep Clean option adds additional soak and wash time to many cycles to help remove tough stains. An integrated heater helps to maintain optimal wash temperatures. See the “Cycle Guide” for cycles that allow the Deep Clean option.
Extra Rinse
Activate this option to add an extra rinse to most cycles. NOTE: Some cycles include this feature as a default. See “Cycle Guide” for details.
Drum Light (on some models)
Press to turn the LED drum light on or off. The light will also turn on when the door is open, and turn off automatically after about 5 minutes.

7
DEEP CLEAN with Steam (Steam models only)
The Deep Clean with 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. See the “Cycle Guide” for cycles that allow the Deep Clean option.
8
FANFRESH™ OPTION
With the washer on, press to activate the FanFresh™ option. This will periodically tumble the load after the end of the cycle for up to 16 hours while the integrated fan circulates air through the washer to reduce humidity.

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
Choosing the Right Detergent
Use only High Efciency detergents. The package will be marked “HE” or “High Efciency.” Low-water washing creates excessive sudsing with a regular non-HE detergent. Using regular detergent will likely result in longer cycle times and reduced rinsing performance. It may also result in component failure and, over time, build-up of mold or mildew. HE detergents are made to produce the right amount of suds for the best performance. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to determine the amount of detergent to use.
Use only High Efciency (HE) detergent.
First wash cycle without laundry
Before washing clothes for the rst time, if not completed during the nal installation step, choose the QUICK WASH 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
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.
2. Load laundry into washer
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.
8
Open the washer door. 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 rmly 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 ll bags equally.

1. Open the dispenser drawer.
2. Add laundry products as described in steps 3–6.
3. Slowly close the dispenser drawer. Make sure it is

Once the door has locked the second time, the washer will
begin tumbling and adding water. This sensing process will continue until the correct amount of water has been added for the load. You may also hear water owing through the dispenser, adding detergent to the load.
The displayed time may change as the washer goes through
the sensing process. This is normal.
Soak This portion of the cycle allows gentle tumbling for water and
detergent to soak into the load for optimal cleaning.
Wash
This is the main portion of the wash cycle. You will see the
washer tumble the load. The motor sounds may change at different stages in the cycle. The wash time is determined by the selected cycle and soil level along with your load size.
Rinse
