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 Efciency “HE” detergent compartment
A
This compartment holds liquid or powdered HE detergent
for your main wash cycle.
Liquid fabric softener compartment
B
Automatically dilutes and dispenses liquid fabric softener at
the optimum time in the cycle.
n
Use only liquid fabric softener in this dispenser.
Liquid chlorine bleach compartment
C
Automatically dilutes and dispenses liquid chlorine bleach
at the optimum time during the rst rinse after the wash
cycle. This compartment cannot dilute powdered bleach.
Choosing the Right Detergent
Use only High Efciency detergents. The package will be marked
“HE” or “High Efciency.” 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 Efciency (HE) detergent.

owing 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.

The Fan Dry/TumbleFresh™ indicator will light when the Fan
Dry/TumbleFresh™ option is active. During this time, the
washer will occasionally tumble the load. During Fan Dry only,
a fan also circulates fresh air through the washer.
Eco Monitor
The Eco Monitor allows you to see how the settings you select
affect your energy savings. To use the Eco Monitor, choose
the best cycle, temperature, spin speed, soil level, and options
for the fabrics being washed. The Eco Monitor will rate the
water and energy use of those selections, from Good to Best.
You can then adjust the settings and options to decrease the

USING YOUR WASHER
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.
2. Add single-dose laundry packet, Oxi,
color-safe bleach, or fabric softener
crystals (if desired)
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.
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.

WASHER CARE
Recommendations to Help Keep Your Washer Clean
and Performing at its Best
1. Always use High Efciency (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.
Cleaning Your Front Loading Washer
Read these instructions completely before beginning the
routine cleaning processes recommended below. This
Washer Maintenance Procedure should be performed,

WASHER MAINTENANCE
WASHER CARE (cont.)
Cancellation of Clean Washer Cycle Operation:
If the Clean Washer cycle is canceled by the user after it has
been initiated, it may take up to 30 minutes for the washer
to purge any affresh® Cleaner, chlorine bleach, or other
chemistry from the wash system and to adequately rinse any
remaining chemistry. The washer door will remain locked until
the cancellation process has been completed. This ensures
no cleaning chemistry will be carried over to the next wash
cycle and reduces the potential for damage to subsequent
loads of laundry or to the washer itself.
Clean Washer Cycle Cancellation Procedure:
1. Touch POWER on the washer once.
2. The washer will begin to drain and rinse away the
remaining cleaning chemistry.
3. The cycle will complete the cancellation process in
approximately 30 minutes or less.
4. The washer then can be used to either repeat the Clean
Washer cycle or to wash laundry using one of the regular
wash cycles selected by the user.
Cleaning the Dispensers
After a period of using your washer, you may nd some
residue buildup in the washer’s dispensers. To remove
residue from the dispensers, remove the drawer and wipe
the surfaces with a damp cloth and towel dry either before
or after you run the Clean Washer cycle. Use an all-purpose
surface cleaner, if needed.
IMPORTANT: Dispenser is not dishwasher safe.
Cleaning the Outside of the Washer
Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe up any spills.
Occasionally wipe the outside of your washer to help
keep it looking new. Use mild soap and water.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging the washer’s nish, do not
use abrasive products.
CLEAN WASHER CYCLE REMINDER
The Clean Washer LED will
ash at the end of a wash
cycle when the washer has
run 30 wash cycles. This is a
reminder to run the Clean Washer cycle.
If the Clean Washer cycle is not turned on, the LED will
stop ashing at the end of a wash cycle after running 3
more regular wash cycles. After 30 more wash cycles are
completed, the Clean Washer LED will again ash at the end
of a wash cycle as a reminder.
