The washer powers down automatically 60 minutes after the cycle is complete and the CLOTHES CLEAN light goes off. 9. To begin the wash cycle later Select DELAY until the desired delay time (in hours) shows in the Estimated Time Remaining display. Select START. The countdown to the wash cycle will show in the display window. IMPORTANT: When delaying a cycle, use only powdered detergents in the main wash compartment since liquid detergents may seep out of the compartment during Delay, before the wash cycle begins. Using the Dispenser Your new washer has a dispenser drawer with three separate compartments for your laundry products-one is for detergent, one is for liquid chlorine bleach, and one is for liquid fabric softener. Laundry products are diluted and dispensed automatically at the proper time during the wash cycle, making it unnecessary for you to return to the washer during the cycle to add them. It is normal for small amounts of water to remain in the dispensers when the wash cycle is complete. Do not put laundry products directly into the wash tub. Always use the proper dispensers when adding laundry products. To fill dispenser compartments 1. Pull out the dispenser drawer. 2. Add the desired laundry product to the proper compartment. 3. Push in the dispenser drawer slowly and completely (to avoid a spill). C D Choosing the Right Detergent A Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package for this type of detergent will be marked "HE" or "High Efficiency." This wash B system, along with less water, will create too much sudsing with a E regular non-HE detergent. Using regular detergent will likely result in washer errors, longer cycle times and, reduced rinsing performance. It may also result in component failures and noticeable mold or mildew. HE detergents are made to produce the right amount of suds for the best performance. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to determine the amount of detergent to use. Use only "HE" High Efficiency detergent. Dispenser A. Detergent type selector B. Main Wash detergent compartment C. Dispenser release lever D. Chlorine bleach compartment E. Fabric softener compartment Main Wash detergent compartment (Letter B in Dispenser Illustration) Add liquid or powdered HE detergent to this compartment for your main wash cycle. The detergent type selector (A) must always be in the correct position for the detergent type used. IMPORTANT: If you are using the Prewash, Auto Soak or Delay option, powdered detergent must be used in the main wash compartment since liquid detergents may seep out of the main wash compartment, before the main wash begins. s Do not fill beyond the "MAX" level. Use detergent manufacturer's recommended amount for load size. s Liquid or powdered color-safe bleach may be added to the Main Wash compartment along with the same type of detergent, liquid or powdered. 13
