5. Select the desired OPTIONS. Not all Options are available

with all oycles. See “Options.”

6. Select the desired MODIFIERS. Not all Modifiers are available

with all Cycles and Options. See “Modifiers.”

7. If desired, select the CYCLE SIGNAL. The signal is helpful

when you are washing items that should be removed from the
washer as soon as it stops. Press CYCLE SIGNAL once to
turn it on. The indicator light will illuminate. Press again to
turn it off.

8. To begin the wash cycle immediately

Select and hold START (for approximately 1 second).

If you do not select START within 5 minutes of choosing a
cycle, the washer automatically shuts off.

■ When the wash cycle is complete, the CLOTHES CLEAN

status light illuminates, 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 CLOTHES CLEAN light goes off. To
power down the washer manually after the wash oycle is
complete, select STOP once.

9. To begin the wash cycle later

Select DELAY START 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.

IMPORTANT: 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.

Your new washer has a dispenser drawer with three separate

compartments for your laundry products—one 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 products 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.

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 B in Dispenser Illustration)

Add liquid or powdered HE detergent to this compartment for
your main wash cycle.

Powdered color-safe bleach may be added to the Main Wash
compartment along with the powdered detergent.

Use the measurement device which comes with the
detergent. Add no more than the manufacturer’s
recommended amount.

NOTE: Overfilling could cause an oversudsing condition.

Chlorine bleach compartment

(Letter C in Dispenser Illustration)

Add NO MORE THAN % cup (160 mL) liquid chlorine bleach to
this compartment. The bleach will be automatically diluted and
dispensed at the best time during the first rinse after the wash
cycle. This compartment cannot dilute powdered bleach.

Use only liquid chlorine bleach in this dispenser. Do not use

this dispenser to add powdered chlorine or any form of color-
safe bleach to your load.

■ Always measure liquid chlorine bleach. Use a measuring cup

with a pour spout; do not guess. Follow the manufacturer’s
directions for proper use.

Do not fill beyond the “MAX” level.

NOTE: Overfilling could cause garment damage.
