Operation Overview
1
Sort laundry and load the washer.
• Sort laundry by fabric type, soil level, color
and load size, as needed. Open the lid and
load items into the washer.
• If using single-use detergent packs, place
pack into the tub before loading the
laundry.

• Add the proper amount of HE (High-
Efficiency) detergent to the detergent
dispenser.
• If desired, add bleach or fabric softener to
the appropriate dispensers.
• Do not place liquid or powdered detergent
packs in the dispenser.

Turn on the washer.

Power button to turn on the
washer.
• The lights above the cycle buttons will
illuminate and a chime will sound.

Select a cycle.
• Turn the cycle selector knob or press the
cycle buttons repeatedly until the desired
cycle is selected.
• The preset wash temperature, spin speed,
soil level and option settings for the
selected cycle are shown.
• The Normal cycle must be selected in order
to change its default settings.
• Pressing the Start/Pause button without
selecting a cycle immediately starts the
Normal cycle with the default settings.

Adjust settings.
• Default settings for the selected cycle can
be changed, if desired, using the cycle

on all cycles. A different chime sounds and
the LED does not light up if the selection is

Begin cycle.
• Press the
Start/Pause button to begin the
cycle. The lid locks, and the washer agitates

of the load.
• If the Start/Pause button is not pressed
within a certain time, the washer shuts off
and all settings are lost.

items to the tub.

sounds. Immediately remove the clothing
from the washer to reduce wrinkling.
• If the washer includes lint filters, remember
to check lint filters after every 2 to 3 loads.
