Using the Washer
WARNING
• To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before
operating this appliance.
Operation Overview
1
Sort laundry and load the washer.
• Sort laundry by fabric type, soil level, color
and load size as needed. Open the door and
load items into the washer.
• If using single-use detergent packs, place
pack into the drum before loading the
laundry.
2
Add cleaning products.
• Add the proper amount of HE (High-
Efficiency) detergent to the detergent
dispenser.
• If desired, add bleach or fabric softener to
the appropriate areas of the dispenser
drawer.
• Do not place liquid or powdered detergent
packs in the dispenser.
3
Turn on the washer.
• Press the
Power
button to turn on the
washer.
4
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.
5
Adjust settings.
• Default settings for the selected cycle can
be changed, if desired, using the cycle
modifier and option buttons.
• Not all modifiers and options are available
on all cycles. A different chime sounds and
the LED does not light up if the selection is
not allowed.
6
Begin cycle.
• Press the
Start/Pause
button to begin the
cycle. The door locks, and the washer
agitates briefly without water to measure
the weight of the load.
• If the
Start/Pause
button is not pressed
within a certain time, the washer shuts off
and all settings are lost.
7
End of cycle.
• When the cycle is finished, a melody
sounds. Immediately remove the clothing
from the washer to reduce wrinkling.
• Check around the door seal when removing
the load for small items that may be caught
in the seal.
NOTE
• The washer rotates the laundry in a way that
allows it to use less water while still fully
saturating the clothing. It is normal to be unable
to see water during the wash cycle.
• If the temperature or the water level inside the
machine is too high, the door will not unlock
when the
Start/Pause
button is pressed, and
the
Add Item
function will not be available (on
applicable models). To stop a cycle and drain the
water completely, turn the power off, then on,
and then select
Rinse+Spin
.
