2.
Close the washer door by pushing it firmly until the lock clicks.
The washer door will remain locked during the wash cycle.
NOTES:
■
After any wash cycle is completed, the door must be
opened and then closed before a new cycle can begin.
■
The door can be opened only if PAUSE/CANCEL is
selected while the Add A Garment light is glowing or if
the cycle has been canceled.
■
See “To cancel a cycle” in “Changing Cycles, Options,
and Modifiers” section.

Open the dispenser drawer and add laundry products to the
detergent, bleach, fabric softener, or oxygen based stain
fighter/ color-safe bleach compartments. Close drawer slowly
to avoid spills. See “Using the Dispenser.”
4.
Turn on the washer by selecting POWER. Select one of the cycles
by turning the cycle selector. The indicator light for the selected
cycle will glow green. 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,

b
egin 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 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.
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.
Use only HE High Efficiency detergent.
