  OPERATING THE WASHER

HOW TO USE

1

 

SORT LAUNDRY AND LOAD WASHER

 

 Sort laundry by fabric type, soil level, color and load size, as 

needed. Open the door and load the items into the washer.

2

 

ADD CLEANING PRODUCT 

 

 Add High-Efficiency (HE) detergent to the detergent dispenser 

drawer. For proper wash performance, always measure 

the detergent using the measuring device provided by the 

detergent manufacturer.

3

 

TURN ON THE WASHER 

 

 Press the POWER button to turn ON the washer. The lights 

above the cycle buttons will illuminate and a chime will sound.

4

  SELECT A CYCLE

 

 Turn the Cycle Selector dial to the desired cycle. The indicator 

by the cycle name lights up, and the cycle presets (Wash Temp, 

Spin Speed, Soil Level, Options) illuminate on the control panel. 

5

 

SELECT CYCLE MODIFIERS & OPTIONS (optional)

 

 Default settings for the selected cycle can now be changed if 

desired. Use the cycle modifier buttons.

  

NOTE: 

To protect your fabrics, not all modifiers are 

available on all cycles. A different chime will sound and the 

LED will not come on if the selection is not allowed. Cycle  

options can also be added by using the option buttons.

6

 

BEGIN CYCLE

 

 Press the START/PAUSE button to begin the cycle. The door will 

lock, and the washer will briefly tumble the load without water 

to measure its weight. Once the weight of the load is  

measured, the washer will begin the selected wash cycle.

 
 

  

CAUTION

 

 Do not stand on top of the appliance or place objects (such as  

laundry, lighted candles, lighted cigarettes, dishes, chemicals, 

metal objects, etc.) on the appliance.  

Failure to follow these cautions can cause fire, electric shock, 

problems with the product, or injury.
