6. To begin the wash cycle immediately Select and hold START (for approximately 3 seconds). ■ If you do not select START within 5 minutes of choosing a cycle, the washer display automatically shuts off. ■ When the wash cycle is complete, the CYCLE COMPLETE status light illuminates, the door unlocks and the wash load can be removed from the washer. The washer goes into standby mode automatically after the door is opened or 1 hour after the cycle is complete and all displays will go off. ■ To power down the washer manually after the wash cycle is complete, switch knob to Off position. 7. To begin the wash cycle later Select DELAY WASH until the desired delay time (in hours) is displayed. 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. 3. Push in the dispenser drawer slowly and completely (to avoid a spill). A C B D 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. 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. Use only HE High Efficiency detergent. To fill dispenser compartments 1. Pull out the dispenser drawer. 2. Add the desired laundry products to the proper compartment. Dispenser A. Dispenser release lever B. Main Wash detergent compartment C. Liquid chlorine bleach compartment D. 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. ■ Powdered color-safe bleach may be added to the Main Wash compartment along with the powdered detergent. ■ Follow the manufacturer's instructions to determine the amount of detergent to use. NOTE: Overfilling could cause an oversudsing condition. Chlorine bleach compartment (Letter C in Dispenser Illustration) Add NO MORE THAN ¹⁄₂ cup (120 mL) liquid chlorine bleach to this compartment during normal use. The bleach will be automatically diluted and dispensed at the best time during the first rinse after the wash cycle. This compartment cannot dilute powdered bleach. ■ Use only liquid chlorine bleach in this dispenser. Do not use this dispenser to add powdered chlorine or any form of colorsafe bleach to your load. ■ Always measure liquid chlorine bleach. Use a measuring cup with a pour spout; do not guess. Follow the manufacturer's directions for proper use. ■ Do not fill beyond the "MAX" level during normal use. NOTE: Overfilling could cause garment damage. Fabric softener compartment (Letter D in Dispenser Illustration) Add NO MORE THAN ¹⁄₂ cup (120 mL) liquid fabric softener to this compartment. Fabric softener will be automatically dispensed in the final rinse or in the EXTRA RINSE, if selected. ■ Do not fill beyond the "MAX" level. 13
