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.

ADDING HE DETERGENT TO BASKET

Add a measured amount of

HE detergent or single-dose

laundry packets into the basket.

If using oxi-type boosters,

color-safe bleach, or fabric

softener crystals, add to the

bottom of the washer basket

before adding clothes.

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.

ADDING LIQUID FABRIC SOFTENER

If you desire to use liquid fabric

softener with this washer, Whirlpool

suggests using the Downy Ball

®

dispenser. Pour a measured amount of

liquid fabric softener into the Downy

Ball

®

dispenser, pull the ring tightly

to seal it, and place on top of load.

Follow manufacturer’s directions for

correct amount of fabric softener

based on your load size. Then use the

Rinse Options button to select Fabric Softener. The Downy Ball

®

dispenser

will automatically release the fabric softener at the correct time in the cycle.

For questions on using the Downy Ball

®

dispenser visit

www.downy.com

.

ADDING LIQUID FABRIC SOFTENER MANUALLY

Select the Fabric Softener option on the control panel before starting a cycle.

During the final rinse, wait until the washer has completed filling, press the

Start/Pause button to pause the washer. Lift the lid and add the recommended

amount of liquid fabric softener. Close the lid, press and hold the Start/Pause

button to resume the cycle.

MORE WATER WHEN YOU WANT IT

AUTO SENSING AND DEEP WATER

■

The washer will adjust the water level to

the optimal amount for a High Efficiency

wash of the detected load size.

■

Press Deep Water to automatically add

more water to your wash cycle.

■

It is recommended to use BULKY

ITEMS cycle with Deep Water option

for loads where maximum water level is

desired.

■

Expect longer cycle times due to

extended fill duration when using the

Deep Water option.

CLEANING WITH LESS WATER

The washer has been designed and

optimized to provide a thorough cleaning

using less water to conserve energy and

resources.

As the washer dampens and moves the

load, the level of the items will settle in the

basket. This is normal, and does not indicate

that more items should be added.

IMPORTANT:

You will not see a full basket

of water as with older, less efficient washing

machines. It is normal for some of the load

to be above the water line.

For detailed installation instruction and maintenance information, winter storage, and transportation tips, please see the Owner’s Manual included with your machine.

A cycle guide for your washer can be

found online at

www.whirlpool.com

.

The document will help identify which

cycle to choose for various load types

as well as the default cycle options.

For example we recommend using

the NORMAL cycle with Warm water

for cottons, linens and mixed-garment

loads.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT CYCLE

PRE±TREATING BEFORE A WASH CYCLE

■

Wash status indicators will both

briefly

illuminate.
