H O W TO U S E

OPERATING THE WASHER

PUT IN DETERGENT

Open the dispenser drawer and add detergent to the main wash

compartment in the dispenser drawer. Add bleach and fabric

softener as desired.

2

SORT LAUNDRY AND LOAD THE WASHER

Different fabrics have different care requirements. See the Cycle

Guide on page 17 for details. For best washing, sort clothes into

loads that can be washed with the same wash cycle.

1

TURN ON THE WASHER

Press the ON/OFF button to turn on the washer. The lights around

the cycle selector knob will illuminate.

3

SELECT A CYCLE

Turn the cycle selector knob to the desired cycle. The display will

show the preset wash/temp., spin speed, soil level, and option

settings for that cycle.

4

SELECT CYCLE SETTING

If you would like to change the settings for that cycle, press the option

button(s) to display additional settings for that option. Press the button

again to cycle through the settings until the desired setting is shown.
NOTE: To protect your garments, not every wash/rinse temperature,

spin speed, soil level, or option is available with every cycle. The water

temperature of all rinsing cycles are set as cold.

5

SELECT CYCLE OPTIONS

Select any additional cycle options, such as STEAM, or COLDWASH™

by pressing the button for that option, or by pressing the OPTION button

for additional options.
NOTE: To protect your garments, not every wash/temp., spin speed, soil

level, or option is available with every cycle. The water temperature of all

rinsing cycles are set as cold.

6

BEGIN CYCLE

Press the START/PAUSE button to begin the cycle. To pause the

cycle at any time, press START/PAUSE.
NOTE: If the temperature in the washer is too high, the door

cannot be unlocked until the washer has cooled. If the water level

is too high, select the Rinse & spin cycle (see the page 25 for

details) to

drain excess water. Do not try to force the door open.

7

CHECK CYCLE TIME

The door will latch, the display will change, and the washer will

calculate the estimated time remaining. Once the washer has

calculated the estimated total cycle time, the washer will start.
NOTE: Washing time can be reduced significantly for small

or lightly soiled loads by selecting the Speed Wash cycle and

setting the Soil Level button to Light.
NOTE: The cycle time displayed may appear much longer

than that of a top loading washer. The displayed time is for the

complete cycle, rather than just the agitation portion of the cycle,

as is typically shown on a top-loading washer.
