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.

Button Descriptions

SOIL LEVEL

Select the setting most suitable for your load. For heavily soiled

and sturdy fabrics, select Heavy Soil Level for more wash time.

For lightly soiled and delicate fabrics, select Light Soil Level for

less wash time. A lighter soil-level setting will help reduce

tangling and wrinkling.

WASH TEMP

Wash Temp senses and maintains uniform water temperatures

by regulating incoming hot and cold water.

Select a wash temperature based on the type of fabric and soils

being washed. For best results, follow the garment label

instructions using the warmest wash water safe for your fabric.

Designed to use only HE High Efficiency

detergents.

NOTES:

�

On some models and cycles, warm and hot water may be cooler

than your previous washer.

�

Even in a cold- or cool-water wash, some warm water may be added

to the washer to maintain a minimum temperature. All rinses are

cold.

WASH CYCLE KNOB

Use the Wash Cycle knob to select available cycles on your washer.

Turn the knob to select a cycle for your laundry load. See online “Cycle

Guide” for detailed descriptions.

RINSE OPTIONS

The following options may be added to most cycles. See online “Cycle

Guide” for additional details.

1 Rinse

This option is used to limit a cycle to one rinse.

2 Rinses

This option can be used to automatically add a second rinse to all wash

cycles.

1 Rinse with Fabric Softener:

This option must be selected if using fabric softener during a cycle. It

ensures that fabric softener is added at the correct time in the rinse for

even distribution.

2 Rinses with Fabric Softener:

This option turns on both the Fabric Softener and the 2 Rinses options.

WATER LEVEL

Set the Water Level knob to the Auto Sensing setting and the washer

will fill to a level that ensures the load engages the agitator.

From this point, the electronic control will sense the load and determine if

additional water is needed. Set the Water Level knob to the Deep Water Wash

setting and the washer will fill to the maximum water level.

NOTES:

�

Expect longer cycle times due to extended fill times when using the Deep

Water Wash option.

�

Deep Water Wash is not available in the Normal cycle mode. Selecting the

Normal cycle with the Deep Water Wash setting will result in auto sensing

of the water level.

START/PAUSE BUTTON

Press to start the selected cycle. Press again to pause the cycle and unlock

the lid. Press and hold 3 seconds to cancel a cycle.

NOTE:

If the washer is spinning, it may take several minutes to unlock

the lid. Press and hold for 3 seconds to cancel a cycle.

PROGRESS

The Progress lights show the progress of a cycle. At each stage of the

process, you may notice sounds or pauses that are different from your

previous washers.

Sensing

When the Start/Pause button is pressed, and the Water Level knob is set to

Auto Sensing, the washer will fill and begin sensing to determine load size and

balance.

NOTE:

Sensing and wash phases will be paused by opening the unlocked lid.

Close the lid to resume the cycle. If the lid is left open for more than

10 minutes, the washer will cancel the cycle and pump out the water. The lid

will lock after the wash phase to begin the initial spinout and remain locked for

the remainder of the cycle.

Wash

The washer will fill to the correct water level based on the load size and the

Water Level selection. Certain cycles may agitate during the fill process to

boost cleaning. You will hear the agitator rotate, followed by a pause lasting

several seconds. When the wash cycle begins, you will hear the agitator

increase speed. The motor sounds may change at different stages in the

wash cycle while the washer performs different wash actions.

Rinse

Certain cycles use a spray rinse, which adds water to the tub while the

basket spins. You may hear sounds similar to the wash cycle as the washer

rinses and moves the load. You may hear the motor turning on briefly (short

hum) to move the basket while filling.

Spin

The washer spins the load at increasing speeds for proper water removal,

based on the selected cycle and spin speed.

Done

Once the cycle is complete, the lid will unlock and this light will come on.

For best results, promptly remove the load.

Lid Locked

The Lock feature allows for higher spin speeds. When lit, the lid is locked

and cannot be opened without pausing the cycle. When the light is off, the

lid can be opened.

To open the lid after it has been locked, press Start/Pause. The lid will

unlock once the washer movement has stopped. This may take several

minutes if the load was spinning at high speed. Press Start/Pause while the

lid is closed to resume the cycle.

Adding Laundry Products

IMPORTANT:

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.

Oxi

This washer is designed to dispense laundry

boosters such as oxygenated stain treaters and

color-safe bleach at the right time in the cycle for best

cleaning performance. Do not use laundry boosters

and chlorine bleach in the same cycle.

NOTE:

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to

determine the amount of laundry products to use.

Adding liquid chlorine bleach:

Do not overfill, dilute, or use more than 1 cup (236

mL). Do not use color-safe bleach or Oxi products in

the same cycle with liquid chlorine bleach.

IMPORTANT:

The Rinse Options knob must be set to

either 1 Rinse with Fabric Softener or 2 Rinses with

Fabric Softener when using fabric in the fabric

softener dispenser. This ensures that fabric is added

at the correct time in the rinse phase and is evenly

distributed.

On models with a fabric softener dispenser:

Add liquid fabric softener before beginning the cycle. Follow manufacturer’s directions to determine amount; then dilute

liquid fabric softener by filling dispenser to underside of rim with warm water. See Max Fill arrows in dispenser. Fabric

softener will automatically be added during the final rinse.

On models without a fabric softener dispenser:

Add fabric softener manually during the final rinse. Press Start/Pause to pause the washer. Lift lid and add measured

recommended amount of liquid fabric softener. Close lid and press Start/Pause again to start the washer.
