Starting Your Washer
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.
First Wash Cycle Without Laundry
Before washing clothes for the first time, select the NORMAL/
CASUAL cycle and run the washer without clothes. Use ¹⁄₂ the
normal recommended amount of powdered or liquid High
Efficiency (HE) detergent. This initial cycle serves to ensure the
interior is clean before washing clothes.
1. To load washer
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.
■ Wash small items, such as infant socks, in mesh garment
bags. It is recommended that more than one garment bag
be used, and that each garment bag be filled with equal
amounts of material.
■ When unloading garments, occasionally check under the
rubber rim at the front of the tub for small items.
2. Close the washer door by pushing it firmly until the lock
clicks. The washer door will remain locked during the wash
cycle.
NOTE: 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.”
3. Open the Dispenser Drawer and add laundry products to the
detergent, bleach, or fabric softener compartments. Close
drawer slowly to avoid spills. See “Using the Dispenser.”
NOTE: For best performance, use High Effficiency
detergents. The package for this type of detergent will be
marked “HE” or “High Efficiency.” The wash action along with
less water could create too much sudsing with a regular
detergent.
4. Turn on the washer by selecting one of the wash cycles. The
indicator light for the selected cycle will glow. When selecting
a wash cycle, the preset Options, Water Temp, Spin Speed,
and soil level for the selected cycle will glow. 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. Not all modifiers are available
with all cycles and options. See “Modifiers.”
7. If desired, select the END OF CYCLE SIGNAL. The signal is
helpful when you are washing items that should be removed
from the washer as soon as it stops. Select LOUDER or
SOFTER.
8. To begin the wash cycle
Select CONTROL ON.
■ If you do not select HOLD TO START within 5 minutes of
choosing a cycle, the washer automatically shuts off.
■ 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
power down the washer manually after the wash cycle is
complete, select PAUSE/CANCEL once.
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.
