Select HOLD TO START.
If you do not select HOLD TO START within 5 minutes of

When the wash cycle is complete, the CYCLE
COMPLETE status light glows, the door unlocks, and the
wash load can be removed from the washer. The washer
powers down automatically 5 minutes after the cycle is
complete and the CYCLE COMPLETE light goes off. To

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.
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.
Using the Dispenser
Your new washer has a dispenser drawer with three separate
compartments for your laundry productsone 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 additives 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.
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).
Main wash detergent compartment
(Letter C in Dispenser Illustration)
Add liquid or powdered HE detergent to this compartment for
your wash cycle. The detergent separator must always be in
place, either in the front or back position.
Do not fill beyond the MAX level. Use detergent
manufacturers recommended amount for load size.
Liquid or powdered color-safe bleach may be added to the
Main Wash compartment along with the same type of
detergent, liquid or powdered.
Liquid detergent: Put the separator in the front position,
between the guides, as shown following. There will be no gap
between the bottom of the wash cycle detergent
compartment and the bottom of the separator.
