PRECISION DISPENSE DRAWER
8
The Precision 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 Precision Dispense Drawer” for
information on using the dispenser drawer.
Precision Dispense Cartridge
A
Each dispenser cartridge holds up to 18.5 oz.
(550 ml) of liquid HE detergent, enough for up to 36†
loads, depending on cycle and detergent concentration.
The cartridge ts into compartment (B) of the dispenser
drawer for convenient loading.
n
Change detergent concentration setting
if detergent used is different than factory
preset of 2x concentration. See “About
Detergent Concentration.”
n
Change water hardness setting if desired
level is different than factory preset of
Normal.
Powdered High Efciency “HE” detergent
B
compartment
This compartment holds powdered HE detergent
for a single load.
Liquid fabric softener compartment
C
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
D
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.
ECOBOOST™ OPTION
6
Touch 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.
†
The number of loads will vary, depending on detergent concentration,
load size, cycle used, and soil level. The maximum capacity of up to
36 loads requires use of 6x concentration detergent.

USING YOUR WASHER
First wash cycle without laundry
Before washing clothes for the rst time, ll the HE liquid
dispenser cartridge and install in the dispenser drawer. Choose
the QUICK WASH cycle and run it without clothes. Use only
HE detergent. This initial cycle serves to ensure the interior is
clean and the dispenser drawer is ready for use 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:

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,
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 gray 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.

REMOVING THE DISPENSER
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.

Washer cycle or to wash laundry using one of the regular
wash cycles selected by the user.
