WASHER USE NOTE: The panel shown above may be different from that of your model. Starting Your Washer WARNING Using the Proper 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. Fire Hazard Never place items in the washer that are dampened with gasoline or other flammable fluids. No washer can completely remove oil. 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. WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before operating this appliance. The following is a guide to using your washer. Please refer to specific sections of this manual for more detailed information. Do not store laundry products on the top surface of this washer. Vibration is normal during operation. Use only HE High Efficiency detergent. First Wash Cycle Without Laundry Before washing clothes for the first time, if not completed during the final installation step, choose the Normal/Casual cycle and run it without clothes. Use only HE High Efficiency detergent. Use ¹⁄₂ the manufacturer's recommended amount for a medium-size load. This initial cycle serves to ensure the interior is clean before washing clothes. For All Wash Cycles 1. Open the washer door by pulling on the handle. Sort laundry according to color and type of fabric. Place a load of sorted clothes in the washer. Do not overload washer. Overloading can cause poor cleaning. ■ The washer can be fully loaded, but not tightly packed. Washer door should close easily. ■ Mix large and small items and avoid washing single items. Load evenly. ■ It is recommended that you wash small items such as infant socks in a mesh garment bag. ■ When unloading garments, occasionally check under the gray colored seal at the front of the tub for small items. 13
