Touch and hold until the indicator above the Program button lights up. The indicators above all the buttons will scroll from left to right as the washer turns on. Symbols appear on the control panel and sounds are played.
Touch and hold POWER to cancel a cycle. “rES” is displayed when the cycle is cancelled.
2PROGRAM (cycle)
When you turn on the washer, the light above this button will turn on. This indicates you can now select your program or cycle. The program settings which you used last will appear on the control panel.
3PROGRAM/CYCLE AREA
An indicator next to each program/cycle lights up as you use the knob to scroll through the list. Press the knob when the indicator next to the desired program/cycle lights up.
4CONTROL KNOB
Turn the knob to select a program/cycle for your laundry load, change program/cycle temperature, adjust spin speed, set delay start time or dosing values, or select
Other Options. Press the knob to confirm your selection.
5OPTIONS
Touch to select additional wash options or additional features on the washer before touching the Start/Pause button. Additional wash options or additional features selected after touching the Start/Pause button may not be activated.

|
|
This option helps to preserve the colors of your laundry |
|
|
by washing them with cold water 59°F (15°C). Suitable |
|
|
for lightly soiled colored laundry without stains. |
BTumbleFresh™ Option
The TumbleFresh™ option will periodically tumble the load after the end of the cycle every 3 minutes for 7 seconds, for up to 6 hours. To turn on the TumbleFresh™ option, touch the TUMBLEFRESH button. If, however,
the TumbleFresh™ option is turned on, it will stay on for all future cycles until turned back off – the washer remembers the last on/off status set. To turn off the
TumbleFresh™ option, touch the TUMBLEFRESH button.
CDetergent Dosing Aid
This option helps to determine the correct amount of detergent for your laundry load. The concentration
of detergents varies considerably, so adjust the amount of detergent as needed. Also check if the washer’s preset water hardness level matches your local water hardness level and adjust it if needed (see the “Using Your Washer” section).
When you touch this button, the Detergent Dosing Aid symbol lights up in the display.
When you touch the Start/Pause button to start the program/cycle, the drum will rotate to detect the load size of the laundry. During load detection, the time display changes from cycle time to a chasing LED animation. The display will then show the recommended detergent amount in milliliters (see Concentration
Chart in “About Detergent Concentration”). Use any standard measuring cup to measure out the right detergent amount. After adding detergent, close the detergent dispenser. Touch and hold the START/PAUSE button to continue the cycle.
DDelay Wash
This option starts your program/cycle at a later time, up to 24 hours.
6 SETTINGS
ATemperature
This setting lets you change the temperature of the program/cycle selected, if desired.
BSpin Speed
This setting lets you change the spin speed of the program/cycle selected, if desired.
Rinse/Hold
This option will stop at the end of the rinse portion of the cycle and leave the clothes soaking until you touch the Start/Pause button to continue the drain and final spin.

7 OTHER OPTIONS
Save Time
This option enables quicker washing. Only recommended for lightly soiled laundry.
Extra Rinse
This option helps to avoid detergent residues in the laundry by extending the rinse time. Especially suitable for baby laundry, people with allergies, or areas with soft water.
Heavy Soil
This option optimizes the stain-removal efficiency of additives. Ideal for heavily soiled, stained laundry. Add an appropriate amount of powder in-wash additive for stain removal to the main wash compartment, together with your detergent (powder only). This may extend the program
by up to 15 minutes. Appropriate for use with oxygen-based stain removers.
IMPORTANT: Chlorine or perborate bleach agents must not be used.
Pre-Soak
The Pre-Soak option may be set either on or off. The Pre-soak option will perform a 30 minute cold soak at the beginning of the cycle.
NOTE: Pretreatment is recommended for stubborn stains.
Sanitize
This option eliminates 99.9% of the most common bacteria found in clothes, sheets, and towels. The extra hot wash temperature ensures sanitization.
Check recommended wash temperature of your items. Bacteria tested were K. pneumonia,
P. aureginosa, and S. aureus.
PreWash
This option helps to clean heavily soiled laundry by adding a 20 minute prewash to the program/cycle selected.
Control Lock
This option allows you to lock the buttons and knob to avoid unwanted use by small children or other unqualified persons. Touch and hold the OPTION button until the “key” symbol lights up. All controls will be locked except for the Power button. To cancel Key Lock, touch and hold the OPTION button until the key symbol goes off.
8START/PAUSE BUTTON
Touch to start, or touch and hold to pause, a program/ cycle. When you start a program/cycle, the display shows an animation of chasing LEDs. This indicates the washer is estimating dry load size. Once the load size is estimated, water will be added to start the wash cycle.
9LED DISPLAY
When you select a program/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. Tightly packing, unbalanced loads, or excessive suds may cause the washer to lengthen the program/cycle time, as well.

Automatically dilutes and dispenses liquid fabric softener at the optimum time in the cycle.
■ Use only liquid fabric softener in this dispenser.
BPrewash compartment
When using the PreWash option, add detergent here or directly into the drum.
CMain wash compartment
This compartment holds liquid or powdered HE detergent for your main wash cycle. If PreWash detergent has been added to the drum, use powdered detergent in the main wash compartment; this ensures that the detergent stays in the detergent dispenser until the start of the main wash phase.
IMPORTANT: Do not use chlorine bleach in this washer.

Program/Cycle Guide
Settings and options shown in bold are default settings for that program/cycle. For best fabric care, choose the program/cycle, options, and settings that best fit the load being washed. Not all settings are available with each program/cycle, and some options cannot be used together.
Load Size Recommendations
For best results, follow the load size recommendations noted for each program/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.
Rinse Hold Option
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.
This option keeps laundry in the final rinse water without spinning. Rinse Hold is suitable for delicate laundry and items that require a lower spin speed, but is not appropriate for silk.
To turn off Rinse Hold and drain the water:
■Turn the knob to select “0” for spin speed, press the knob to confirm your selection, and touch the START/PAUSE button.
OR
■Spin the laundry, if desired. Touch the START/PAUSE button to spin at the default speed or turn the knob to select a different spin speed, press the knob to confirm your selection, and touch the START/PAUSE button.

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 malfunction and, over time, buildup of mold or mildew. HE detergents should be low-sudsing and quick-dispersing to produce the right amount of suds for the best performance. They should hold soil in suspension so it is not redeposited onto clean clothes. Not all detergents labeled as High Efficiency are identical in formulation and their ability to reduce suds. For example, natural, organic, or homemade HE detergents may generate a high level of suds. Always follow the detergent manufacturer’s instructions to determine the amount of detergent to use.
Use only High Efficiency (HE) detergent.
About Detergent Concentration
Today’s liquid HE detergents are concentrated. Most brands of concentrated HE detergent will show the level of concentration on the bottle.
However, if the detergent bottle does not give the concentration, it can be easily calculated. Just divide the package size in fluid ounces by the number of loads. Then refer to the chart below
to find the concentration.
If you do not get your desired cleaning results, try using a lower concentration number. If you have excess suds, try using a higher concentration number.

packet to dispenser drawer. |

■Use powdered detergent when using the Delay Wash option. Liquid detergent may seep out before the wash begins.

■Only use detergent manufacturer’s recommended quantity of detergent (HE liquid or HE powder).
■If the PreWash option is selected, split the detergent dose between the Prewash and Main Wash compartments.
Using Your Washer
First wash cycle without laundry
Before washing clothes for the first time, add liquid or powdered
HE detergent to the detergent dispenser. 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.
IMPORTANT:
■Empty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small object can plug pumps and may require a service call.
■Close zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings and sashes, and remove non-washable trim and ornaments.
■Mend rips and tears to avoid further damage to items during washing.
■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.
■Do not dry garments if stains remain after washing, because heat can set stains into fabric.
■Always read and follow fabric care labels and laundry product instructions. Improper usage may cause damage to your garments.
2. Add laundry products (if desired)
Single-dose laundry packets, Oxi-type boosters, or fabric softener crystals can be added to the drum prior to adding laundry.
NOTES:
■Always follow manufacturer’s instructions.
■Do not use chlorine bleach.
3. Load laundry into washer
Place a load of sorted items 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.
■Depending on load type and cycle, the washer can be fully loaded, but not tightly packed. Washer door should close easily. See “Program/Cycle Guide” for loading suggestions.
■Mix large and small items and avoid washing single items. Load evenly.
■Wash small items in mesh garment bags. For multiple items, use more than one bag and fill bags equally.

NOTE: Do not add single-dose laundry packets, Oxi-type boosters, or fabric softener crystals to dispensers. They will not dispense correctly.
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.
■Do not spill or drip any fabric softener onto the clothes.
■Do not use liquid fabric softener dispenser balls in this washer. They will not dispense correctly.
