When you are selecting a wash cycle, the preset options and modifiers (such as Water Temp, Spin Speed, and Soil Level) for the selected cycle will glow green. Selectable options will glow amber. If an option or modifier is unavailable with a selected cycle, the light will not illuminate. The display shows the estimated time remaining. The preset settings provide the recommended fabric care for the selected cycle. See "Cycles." 5. Select the desired Options. Not all options are available with all cycles. See "Options." 6. Select the desired modifiers such as Water Temp, Spin Speed, and Soil Level. 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. 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 detergent such as 2x or higher will use less detergent based on load size. Use only HE High Efficiency detergent. 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). A E B C Using the Dispenser Your new washer has a dispenser drawer with four separate compartments for your laundry products-one is for high efficiency detergent, one is for liquid chlorine bleach, one is for liquid fabric softener and one is for oxygen based stain fighters or color-safe bleach. 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. D F Dispenser A. Dispenser release lever B. Oxi / Color-safe bleach compartment C. Detergent type selector D. High Efficiency "HE" detergent compartment E. Chlorine bleach compartment F. Fabric softener compartment Oxi / Color-safe bleach compartment (Letter B in Dispenser Illustration) Liquid or powdered oxygen based stain fighter / color-safe bleach may be used in this compartment, however powder is recommended for optimal timed release. Add your oxygen based stain fighter / color-safe bleach to this compartment when using the OXI DISPENSER option. The oxygen based stain fighter / color-safe bleach will automatically be dispensed during the wash cycle if the OXI DISPENSER option is selected. IMPORTANT: When delaying a cycle, use only powdered detergents in the Oxi / Color-safe bleach compartment since liquid detergents may seep out of the compartment during Delay Wash, before the wash cycle begins. 13
