DISPENSER DRAWER
The dispenser drawer gives you the convenience of
automatically adding HE detergent, liquid chlorine bleach,
and liquid fabric softener to the wash load at the proper time.
See "Using the Dispenser Drawer" for information on using the
dispenser drawer.
_High Efficiency "HE" detergent compartment
This compartment holds liquid or powdered HE detergent
for your main wash cycle.
_ Liquid fabric softener compartment
Automatically dilutes and dispenses liquid fabric softener at
the optimum time inthe cycle.
[] Use only liquidfabric softener in this dispenser.
Q
Liquid chlorine bleach compartment
Automatically dilutes and dispenses liquid chlorine bleach
at the optimum time during the first rinse after the wash
cycle. This compartment cannot dilute powdered bleach.
Choosing the Right Detergent
Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package will be marked
"HE" or "High Efficiency." Low-water washing creates excessive
sudsing with a non-HE detergent. Using non-HE detergent
will likely result in longer cycle times and reduced rinsing
performance. It may also result in component failure and, over
time, buildup of mold or mildew. HE detergents are low-sudsing
and quick-dispersing to produce the right amount of suds for
the best performance. They hold soil in suspension so it is not
re-deposited onto clean clothes. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions to determine the amount of detergent to use.
Useonly High Efficiency (HE)detergent.

Delay Wash
If a Delay Wash is set, the Delay Wash indicator will light and
the delay time will count down in the display.
Door Locked
Door Locked will light to indicate that the door is locked and
cannot be opened without first pausing or canceling the cycle.
Sensing
When START is touched, the washer will first perform a
self-test on the door lock mechanism and the sensing light
will come on. You will hear a click, the drum will make a partial
turn, and the door will click again as it unlocks briefly. The
door will click one more time when it locks again.
Once the door has locked the second time, the washer will
drain to calibrate the sensors; then it will begin tumbling and
adding water. This sensing process will continue throughout
the cycle. You may also hear water flowing through the
dispenser, adding detergent to the load.
After the load size is sensed, the estimated time based on
load size will be displayed. The actual cycle time may be
lengthened; however, the display will continue to show the
estimated time.
The sensing light will blink once a second at various times
during the cycle, such as when the washer is reducing extra
suds.
Add Garment
When "Add Garment" is lit, you may pause the washer, open
the door, and add items. Touch and hold START to start the
washer again.
Steaming
This will light to show that the cycle is using asteam boost for
added cleaning power.
Done
Once the cycle is complete, this light will come on. Remove
the load promptly for best results. The Done indicator is also
lit during FanFresh_'_*/orTumbleFresh _.
®
FanFresh /TumbleFresh TM
The FanFresh/TumbleFresh indicator will light when the
FanFreshC_/TumbleFresh _'_option is active. During this time,
the washer will occasionally tumble the load. During
FanFresh C_only, a fan also circulates fresh air through
the washer.
Eco Monitor
The Eco Monitor allows you to see how the settings you select
affect your energy savings. To use the Eco Monitor, choose
the best cycle, temperature, spin speed, soil level, and options
for the fabrics being washed. The Eco Monitor will rate the
water and energy use of those selections, from Good to Best.
You can then adjust the settings and options to decrease the
amount of energy used within that cycle.

Load Size Recommendations
For best results, follow the load size recommendations noted for
each cycle.
Q mall load: Fill the washer drum with 3-4 items, not more
than 1/4 full.
Medium load: Fill the washer drum up to about 1/2 full.
Large load: Fill the washer drum up to about 3/4 full.
Extra-large load: Fill the washer drum, but make sure
clothes can tumble freely. For best results, avoid packing
tightly.
Using Your Washer
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.
First wash cycle without laundry
Before washing clothes for the first time, if not completed during
the final installation step, choose the QUICK WASH cycle and
run it without clothes. Use only HE 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.
1. Sort and prepare your laundry
Sort items by recommended cycle, water temperature, and
colorfastness. Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled.
Separate delicate items from sturdy fabrics. Treat stains promptly
and check for colorfastness by testing stain remover products on
an inside seam.
iMPORTANT:
[] Empty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small object
can plug pumps and may require a service call.
[] Close zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings and sashes, and
remove non-washable trim and ornaments.
[] Mend rips and tears to avoid further damage to items
during washing.
[] Turn knits inside out to prevent pilling. Separate lint-takers
from lint-givers. Synthetics, knits, and corduroy fabrics will
pick up lint from towels, rugs, and chenille fabrics.
[] Do not dry garments if stains remain after washing, because
heat can set stains into fabric.
[] Always read and follow fabric care labels and laundry
product instructions. Improper usage may cause damage
to your garments.
10
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
Add single=dose laundry packet, Oxi,
color=safe bleach, or fabric softener
crystals (if desired)
Single-dose laundry packet, Oxi-type boosters, color-safe
bleach, or fabric softener crystals can be added to the drum
prior to adding laundry.
NOTE: Do not add clothes to washer drum prior to adding
laundry products. Always follow manufacturer's instructions.
3. Load laundry into washer
Place a load of sorted clothes loosely in the washer. Items need
to move freely for best cleaning and to reduce wrinkling and
tangling. Close the washer door by pushing it firmly until the
latch clicks.
[] Depending on load type and cycle, the washer can be fully
loaded, but not tightly packed. Washer door should close
easily. See "Cycle Guide" for loading suggestions.
[] Mix large and small items and avoid washing single items.
Load evenly.
[] Wash small items in mesh garment bags. For multiple items,
use more than one bag and fill bags equally.

WATER iNLET HOSES
Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk
of hose failure. Periodically inspect and replace inlet hoses
if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found.
When replacing your inlet hoses, mark the date of
replacement on the label with a permanent marker.
WASHER CARE
Recommendations to Help Keep Your Washer Clean
and Performing at its Best
1. Always use High Efficiency (HE) detergents and follow the
HE detergent manufacturer's instructions regarding the
amount of HE detergent to use. Never use more than the
recommended amount because that may increase the
rate at which detergent and soil residue accumulate inside
your washer, which in turn may result in undesirable odor.
2. Use warm or hot water washes sometimes (not exclusively
cold water washes), because they do a better job of
controlling the rate at which soils and detergent accumulate.
3. Always leave the washer door slightly ajar between
uses to help dry out the washer and avoid the buildup
of odor-causing residue.
4. Periodically clean residue from the underside of the glass
window.
Cleaning Your Front Loading Washer
Read these instructions completely before beginning the
routine cleaning processes recommended below. This
Washer Maintenance Procedure should be performed,
at a minimum, once per month or every 30 wash cycles,
whichever occurs sooner, to control the rate at which soils
and detergent may otherwise accumulate in your washer.
Cleaning the Door Seal
1. Open the washer door and remove any clothing or items
from the washer.
2. Inspect the colored seal between the door opening and
the drum for stained areas or soil buildup. Pull back the
seal to inspect all areas under the seal and to check for
foreign objects.
3. If stained areas or soil buildup are found, wipe down
these areas of the seal using either of the following
two procedures:
a. affresh ®Grit Grabber TM Cloth Procedure:
i. When the cycle is complete, gently pull back the
rubber door seal and clean the entire surface with
the rough side of the Grit Grabber TM cloth.
b. Dilute Liquid Chlorine Bleach Procedure:
i. Mix a dilute bleach solution, using 3/4 cup (177 mL)
of liquid chlorine bleach and 1 gallon (3.8 L) of warm
tap water.
ii. Wipe the seal area with the dilute solution, using
a damp cloth.
iii. Let stand 5 minutes.
iv. Wipe down area thoroughly with a dry cloth and let
washer interior air dry with door open.
IMPORTANT:
[] Wear rubber gloves when cleaning with bleach.
[] Refer to the bleach manufacturer's instructions
for proper use.
