WASHER USE
Starting Your Washer
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to
persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before
operating this appliance.
The following is a guide to using your washer. Please refer to
specific sections of this manual for more detailed information.
Do not store laundry products on the top surface of this washer.
Vibration is normal during operation.
Using the Proper 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.
First Wash Cycle Without Laundry
Before washing clothes for the first time, if not completed during
the final installation step, choose the Normal/Casual cycle and
run it without clothes. Use only HE High Efficiency detergent. Use
¹⁄₂
the manufacturer’s recommended amount for a medium-size
load. This initial cycle serves to ensure the interior is clean before
washing clothes.
For All Wash Cycles
1. To load washer
Open the washer door by pulling on the handle.
Sort laundry according to color and type of fabric. Place a
load of sorted clothes in the washer. Do not overload washer.
Overloading can cause poor cleaning.
■
The washer can be fully loaded, but not tightly packed.
Washer door should close easily.
■
Mix large and small items. Avoid washing a single item.
Load evenly.
■
Wash small items such as infant socks in mesh garment
bags. It is recommended that more than one garment bag
be used and that each garment bag be filled with equal
amounts of material.
■
When unloading garments, occasionally check under the
gray colored seal/bellow rim at the front of the tub for
small items.
2. Close the washer door by pushing it firmly until the lock
clicks. The washer door will remain locked during the wash
cycle.
NOTE: After any wash cycle is completed, the door must be
opened and then closed before a new cycle can begin. The
door can be opened only if STOP is selected while the ADD A
GARMENT light is illuminating or if the cycle has been
canceled. See “To cancel a cycle” in the “Changing Cycles,
Options and Modifiers” section.
3. Open the dispenser drawer and add laundry products to the
detergent, bleach, or fabric softener compartments. Close
drawer slowly to avoid spills. See “Using the Dispenser.”
NOTE: Use only HE High Efficiency detergent.
4. Turn on the washer by selecting POWER. Select one of the
cycles by turning the cycle selector. The indicator light for the
selected cycle will illuminate. When selecting a Wash Cycle,
the preset Modifiers and Options, Water Temp, and Spin
Speed for the selected cycle will illuminate. The preset
settings provide the recommended fabric care for the
selected cycle. See “Cycles.”
Use only HE High Efficiency detergent.
Fire Hazard
Never place items in the washer that are dampened
with gasoline or other flammable fluids.
No washer can completely remove oil.
Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on
it (including cooking oils).
Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
