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 Efficiency "HE" detergent compartment

This compartment holds liquidor powdered HE detergent

for your main wash cycle.

_ Liquid fabric softener compartment

Automatically dilutes and dispenses liquid fabric softener at

the optimum time inthe cycle.

[] Use only liquidfabric softener in this dispenser.

Liquid 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.

Useonly High Efficiency (HE)detergent.

Delay Wash

If a Delay Wash is set, the Delay Wash indicator will light and the delay time will count down in the display.

Door Locked

Door Locked will light to indicate that the door is locked and cannot be opened without first pausing or canceling the cycle.

Sensing

When START is touched, the washer will first perform a self-test on the door lock mechanism and the sensing light

will come on. You will hear a click, the drum will make a partial turn, and the door will click again as it unlocks briefly. The door will click one more time when it locks again.

Once the door has locked the second time, the washer will drain to calibrate the sensors; then it will begin tumbling and adding water. This sensing process will continue throughout

the cycle. You may also hear water flowing 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.

Add Garment

When "Add Garment" is lit, you may pause the washer, open the door, and add items. Touch and hold START to start the washer again.

Steaming

This will light to show that the cycle is using a steam boost for added cleaning power.

Done

Once the cycle is complete, this light will come on. Remove the load promptly for best results. The Done indicator is also

lit during FanFresh_'_*/orTumbleFresh _.

FanFresh /TumbleFresh TM

Eco Monitor

The FanFresh/TumbleFresh indicator will light when the FanFreshC_/TumbleFresh _'_option is active. During this time,

the washer will occasionally tumble the load. During FanFresh C_only, a fan also circulates fresh air through

the washer.

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

amount of energy used within that cycle.

Using Your Washer

Fire Hazard

Never place items in the washer that are dampened with gasoline or other flammable fluids.

No washer can completely remove oil. Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on

it (including cooking oils). Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

First wash cycle without laundry

Before washing clothes for the first time, if not completed during the final 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

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,

fire, or electrical shock.

Add single=dose laundry packet, Oxi, color=safe bleach, or fabric softener

crystals (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.

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.

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. [] 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.

[] 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.

USING LAUNDRY PRODUCT DISPENSERS

WATER iNLET HOSES

WASHER CARE (cont.)

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 TM 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 TM 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.
