About washer features.
This model has AUTOMATIC LOAD SENSING. This selection provides the correct amount of water suited to the size and type
of load placed in the unit. The washer will not fill with water during automatic load sensing if the lid is open. When the lid is
closed the machine is able to begin filling with water in order to sense the load size.
Note: This is a high efficiency washing machine with Infusor™ wash action. This system reguires less water while providing
effective cleaning action. You may notice that the water level is lower than on your previous washer. This is normal for an
lnfusor™-eguipped washer.
Liquid Bleach Funnel
The water fill dilutes liquid chlorine bleach as the washer fills for the wash cycle.
m Check clothing care labels for special instructions.
[y| Measure liquid bleach carefully, following instructions on the bottle.
■ Never pour undiluted liguid chlorine bleach directly onto clothes or into the wash basket.
■ Do not pour powdered bleach into bleach funnel.
Before starting the washer, pour measured amount of bleach directly into bleach funnel.
Avoid splashing or over-filling dispenser. If you prefer to use powdered bleach, add it into the
wash basket with your detergent.
■ Do not mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids such as vinegar and/or rust remover.
Mixing can produce a toxic gas which may cause death.
Tab The Fabric Softener Dispenser (on some models)
The fabric softener dispenser automatically releases liquid fabric softener at the proper time.
Do not stop the washer or raise the lid during the first spin. This will cause the dispenser to
empty too soon.

Q Select Fabric Softener on the control panel. 1^ Lift the tab on the fabric softener dispenser
^ top.
ryi Measure out fabric softener into the cap
— and pour the softener into the dispenser
top. The fabric softener will drain into the
receiving cup inside the dispenser. Use only
"Ultra" or concentrated fabric softeners.
Push down on the tab to close the
dispenser top. Make sure the tab is pushed
down fully and snaps shut.
NOTE: Overfilling the dispenser will cause fabric
softener to drain out of the holes in the side of
the infusor when filling. Do not overfill.
NOTE: Do not use fabric softener dispensing
balls with this washer. They do not work
correctly in high efficiency washers.
