6. Select the desired modifiers such as Water Temp, Spin Speed, Soil Level, and Rinse. Not all modifiers are available with all cycles and options. See "Modifiers". 7. If desired, select the CYCLE SIGNAL. The signal is helpful when you are washing items that should be removed from the washer as soon as it stops. Select Loud, Soft, or Off. 8. If desired, select the BUTTON SOUND. This feature makes a sound each time a button is pressed. Select Loud, Soft, or Off. 9. Select and hold START for approximately 1 second. ■ If you do not select START within 5 minutes of choosing a cycle, the washer automatically shuts off. ■ When the wash cycle is complete, the DONE status light glows, the door unlocks, and the wash load can be removed from the washer. The washer powers down automatically 60 minutes after the cycle is complete and the DONE light goes off. To power down the washer manually after the wash cycle is complete, select PAUSE/ CANCEL once. 10. To use the same cycle again, press POWER first, then select START. 11. To begin the wash cycle later Select DELAY WASH 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 Wash, before the wash cycle begins. Using the Dispenser Your new washer has a dispenser drawer with four separate compartments for your laundry products-one is for detergent, one is for oxygen based products or color safe bleach, 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. Choosing the Right Detergent Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package for this type of detergent will be marked "HE" or "High Efficiency." This wash system, along with less water, will create too much sudsing with a 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. Remember, concentrated detergents such as 2x or higher will use less detergent based on load size. 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 A B E Dispenser A. Detergent type selector B.

The detergent type selector (A) must always be in the correct position for the detergent type used. Slide the detergent type selector to the correct position. IMPORTANT: If you are using the Delay Wash 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. ■ Use the detergent manufacturer's recommended amount for load size. ■ Liquid or powdered color-safe bleach may be added to the Main Wash compartment along with the same type of detergent, liquid or powdered. ■ Liquid detergent: A Use only HE High Efficiency detergent.
