ADDING LAUNDRY PRODUCTS
IMPORTANT:
Using non-HE detergent will likely result in longer cycle
times and reduced rinsing performance. It may also result in component
malfunction and, over time, buildup of mold or mildew. HE detergents
should be low-sudsing and quick-dispersing to produce the right amount
of suds for the best performance.
ADDING HE DETERGENT AND FABRIC SOFTENER
Add both liquid HE detergent & fabric
softener (if desired) to the dispenser
drawer. Make sure to choose the
“Fabric Softener” Rinse Option when
adding Fabric Softener.
NOTE:
Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions to determine the amount of
laundry products to use.
ADDING LIQUID CHLORINE BLEACH
Add a measured
amount of liquid
chlorine bleach to the
dispenser cup. Do not
overfill, dilute, or use
more than 1 cup
(236 mL). Do not use
colorsafe bleach or oxi
products in the same
cycle with liquid
chlorine bleach.

DEEP WATER OPTIONS
Press to modify the cycle’s available deep water options (Medium
or High). Use these options to automatically add more water to
your wash cycle. You can also use this option to reduce the
likelihood of white residue on dark clothing.
NOTE:
If the washer detects an out-of-balance condition it may
pause and attempt and re-distribute the load. During this time the
Sense and Wash status indicators will both briefly illuminate.
WARNING:
Do not wash water-resistant or water repellant-type
clothing. Failure to closely follow these instructions may result in
an abnormal vibrating and out-of-balance condition that could
result in physical injury, property damage, and/or appliance
damage.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT CYCLE
A cycle guide for your washer can be found online at
www.whirlpool.com
. The document will help
identify which cycle to choose for various load types as well as the default cycle options. For example
we recommend using the NORMAL cycle with Warm water for cottons, linens and mixed-garment
loads.
MORE WATER WHEN YOU WANT IT
AUTO SENSING AND DEEP WATER
�
The washer will adjust the water level to
the optimal amount for a High Efficiency
wash of the detected load size.
�
Use one of the Deep Water Options to
automatically add more water to your
wash cycle.
�
It is recommended to use BULKY ITEMS
cycle with Deep Water-High option for
loads where maximum water level is
desired.
�
Expect longer cycle times due to
extended fill duration when using the
Deep Water Options.
CLEANING WITH LESS WATER
The washer has been designed and
optimized to provide a thorough cleaning
using less water to conserve energy and
resources.
As the washer dampens and moves the
load, the level of the items will settle in the
basket. This is normal, and does not
indicate that more items should be added.
IMPORTANT:
You will not see a full basket
of water as with older, less efficient
washing machines. It is normal for some of
the load to be above the water line.
For detailed installation instruction and maintenance information, winter storage, and transportation tips, please see the Owner’s Manual
included with your machine.

WARNING
Fire Hazard
Never place items in the washer that are dampened

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.
