Press the START/PAUSE button to start the wash cycle. When
the cycle has nished, the DONE indicator will light and the

when cycle is done to avoid odor, reduce wrinkling, and rusting

Press START/PAUSE; the lid will unlock once the washer

if the load was spinning at high speed. Then close lid
and press START/PAUSE again to restart the cycle.
If lid is left open for more than 10 minutes the water will
pump out.
10. Select cycle options
Select any other cycle options you may wish to add, if not
previously set. Some cycles will automatically add certain
options such as Clean Boost or Extra Rinse. These may be
turned off, if desired.
NOTE: Not all options are available with all cycles.
Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk
of hose failure. Periodically inspect and replace inlet hoses
if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found.
When replacing your inlet hoses, mark the date of
replacement on the label with a permanent marker.
NOTE: This washer does not include inlet hoses.

WASHER CARE
Recommendations to Help Keep Your Washer Clean
and Performing at its Best
1. Always use High Efciency (HE) detergents and follow the
HE detergent manufacturer’s instructions regarding the
amount of HE detergent to use. Never use more than the
recommended amount because that may increase the
rate at which detergent and soil residue accumulate inside
your washer, which in turn may result in undesirable odor.
2. Use warm and hot wash water settings sometimes (not
exclusively cold water washes), because they do a better
job of controlling the rate at which soils and detergent
accumulate.
3. Always leave the washer lid open between uses to
help dry out the washer and prevent the buildup of
odor-causing residue.
