Cycle Guide
You can use this washer to wash only, dry only, or wash and dry. This washer has a unique user interface to help you select the best
wash cycle for your load. The “What to Wash/How to Wash” layout guides you to the optimal cycle in two easy steps:
First, determine what items are in the load that you are trying to wash. Use that to guide your “What to Wash” selection. Then
determine how you want the washer to wash them and select the appropriate “How to Wash” selection. Selecting “What to Wash” will
automatically select a default “How to Wash selection,” so selecting a “How to Wash” is optional. See chart below for more details.

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 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 Efciency 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
Efciency (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 uid
ounces by the number of loads. Then refer to the chart below
to nd the concentration.
Set the concentration level setting on the washer by using
the Tools button (see Step 12 in “Using Your Washer). If you do
not get your desired cleaning results, set the concentration level
to a lower concentration number. If you have excess suds, set the
concentration level to a higher concentration number.
Concentration Number of ounces ÷ number of loads
2X 1.5–2.49 (44.4 mL–73.6 mL)
3X 0.9–1.49 (26.6 mL–44.1 mL)
4X 0.7–0.89 (20.7 mL–26.3 mL)
5X 0.5–0.69 (14.8 mL–20.4 mL)
6X 0.3–0.49 (8.9 mL–14.5 mL)
9
Using the Dispensers
1. For automatic dispensing, open the bulk dispenser drawer
using the handle at the base of the washer. For a single load,
open the single-load dispenser drawer at the top left corner
of the washer and disable the Load & Go™ option.
2. Add laundry products as described below.
3. Slowly close the dispenser drawer. Make sure it is
completely closed.
Adding HE detergent to dispenser
Load & Go™ bulk dispenser
Use only High Efciency (HE)
liquid detergents. The bulk
dispensers will hold about 67.6 oz
(2 L) or 33.8 oz (1 L) of liquid HE
detergent, depending on dispenser,
or enough for many loads of laundry.
To Fill Bulk Dispeners:
Use only High
Efciency (HE)
detergent.
NOTES:
■
A small amount of water may remain in the single load
dispenser from the previous wash cycle. This is normal.
■
See “About Detergent Concentration” for information on
detergent concentration.
■
When detergent in the bulk dispenser is running low, the
display will show the detergent level (Low).
■
Add single-dose and Oxi-type boosters to the drum before
loading items. See the “Using Your Washer” section.
Adding detergent for a single load
Selector

Open the dispenser drawer by pulling on the handle at the
base of the washer. If desired, the bulk dispensers can be
completely removed from the drawer.
Locate the Load & Go™ bulk
Tab
dispenser. Gently pull up on the
tab located on the bulk dispenser
lid to lift the ll door.
Fill to the “MAX” line (see
illustrations at right) with HE
liquid detergent or liquid fabric
softener (1-liter dispenser only).
Close ll door. It will click into place.
“MAX” line
Make sure the concentration setting
is correct (see the “Choosing the
Right Detergent” section).
It is recommended that you rinse
out the Load & Go™ containers when
relling, when changing detergent
types or concentrations, or when
the washer will not be used for an
extended period.
For instructions
on cleaning the dispenser cartridge,
see the “Washer Care” section.
For instructions on changing
detergent concentration, see
“Using Your Washer, Step 12.
Use only High Efciency
(HE) detergent.
Pour a measured amount of HE detergent into detergent
compartment. For powdered detergent, lift the selector
to the high position. For liquid detergent, push down the
selector to the low position.
Do not overll; adding too much detergent may cause
detergent to be dispensed into the washer too early.
Powdered detergent:
Lift the selector to the high
position. Add directly to the
compartment.
Liquid detergent:
Push down the selector
to the low position. Add
directly to the compartment.
IMPORTANT:
■ Disable Load & Go™ dispenser(s) as desired (see Step
12 in “Using Your Washer”).
■ Do not add single-dose laundry packet to dispenser
drawer.
10
Using Your Washer
First wash cycle without laundry
Before washing clothes for the rst time, set up the Load & Go™
bulk dispenser or add detergent to the single-dose dispenser
(see the “Using the Dispensers” section). Choose the Regular
(what to wash) and Quick (how to wash) cycle and run it without
clothes. Use only HE detergent. This initial cycle serves to ensure
the interior is clean.
2. Add laundry products, 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.
Single-dose laundry packets, Oxi-type boosters, color-safe
bleach, or scented crystals can be added to the drum prior
to adding laundry. When using single-dose laundry packets,
make sure that the bulk dispenser is disabled or off (see
Step 12).
NOTE: Always follow manufacturer’s instructions.
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. If using the drying option, loading the drum half full
or less and not interrupting the drying cycle by opening the
door will improve drying performance and cycle time. Close
the washer door by pushing it rmly until the latch clicks.
n Push load fully into the washer. Make sure no items are
resting on the rubber seal to avoid trapping them between
the seal and the door window.
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.

Washer Maintenance
CLEANING THE WASHER LOCATION
Keep washer area clear and free from items that would block
the airow for proper drying. This includes clearing piles of
laundry in front of the washer.
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 avoid the buildup
of odor-causing residue.
4. Periodically clean residue from all interior surfaces of the
window. For better care, wipe the entire inside of the door
with a damp cloth.
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, soil buildup, or lint. Pull
back the seal to inspect all areas under the seal and to
check for foreign objects or lint.
WASHER CARE (cont.)
3. If stained areas, soil buildup, or lint are found, wipe down
these areas of the seal using either of the following two
procedures:
a. affresh® Machine Cleaning Wipes Procedure:
i. When the cycle is complete, gently pull back the
rubber door seal and clean the entire surface with the
textured side of an affresh® Machine Cleaning Wipe.
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.
IMPORTANT:
■ Wear rubber gloves when cleaning with bleach.
■ Refer to the bleach manufacturer’s instructions for
proper use.
Cleaning the Inside of the Washer

volumes in combination with affresh® Washer Cleaner or
regular liquid chlorine bleach to thoroughly clean the inside
of the washer. Steam washer models also utilize steam to
enhance cleaning in this special cycle.
IMPORTANT: Do not use thickened, easy-pour, or no-splash
bleach when running the Clean Washer with affresh® cycle as
excess suds may occur.
