LED DISPLAY AND SETTINGS BUTTONS
When you select a cycle, its default settings will light up and
the Estimated Time Remaining will be displayed. Factors
such as load size, wash temperature, and water pressure
may affect the time shown in the display. Tightly packing,
unbalanced loads, or excessive suds may cause the washer
to adjust the cycle time, as well.
Use the buttons along the bottom of the display to adjust
settings. See “Cycle Guide” for available settings on each
cycle. Not all settings are available with all cycles.
Temp Level
The recommended wash temperature is preset for each
cycle. You may also select a wash temperature based
on the type of fabric and soils being washed. For best
results, use the warmest wash water safe for your
fabric, following the garment label instructions. All wash
temperatures feature a cold rinse, except Warm*, which
has a warm wash and a warm rinse.
Soil Level
Soil level (wash time) is preset for each wash cycle. As you
press the Soil Level button, the cycle time will increase or
decrease in the Estimated Time Remaining display.
For most loads, use the soil level that is preset with the
cycle you have chosen. For heavily soiled and sturdy
fabrics, press Soil Level to select more wash time. For
lightly soiled and delicate fabrics, press Soil Level to
select less wash time. Lower soil level settings will help
reduce tangling and wrinkling.
Spin Speed
This washer automatically selects the spin speed based
on the cycle selected. Preset speeds can be changed.
Faster spin speeds mean shorter dry times, but may
increase wrinkling in your load.
Slower spin speeds reduce wrinkling, but will leave
your load more damp.
Cycle Status Lights
The indicator bar along the right side of the display will
let you know what stage of the wash cycle is in process,
as well as when the door is locked or if you can still add
an item. For more information on each stage, see “Cycle
Status Lights”.
OPTION BUTTONS
Use these buttons to activate additional wash options
or additional features on the washer. Not all options are
available on all models or all cycles. See the “Cycle Guide”
for information on which cycles include which options.
Extra Rinse
Activate this option to add an extra rinse to most cycles.
NOTE: Some cycles include this feature as a default. See
“Cycle Guide” for details.
Oxi Boost (on some models)
Turn this option on when using Oxi boost products in the
dispenser to ensure they are dispensed at the optimal
time in the cycle.
Max Extract™ (on some models)
Max Extract™ uses an extended high-speed spin to
remove additional water during the spin. This helps reduce
drying times.
Stain Clean (on some models)
The Stain Clean option adds additional soak and wash
time to many cycles to help remove tough stains.
An integrated heater helps to maintain optimal wash
temperatures.
Cycle Signal
Use this option to adjust volume of the signal that sounds
at end of cycle.
NOTE: You may also turn off the tones that sound when a
button is pressed. Press and hold the Cycle Signal button
for about one second to turn button sounds on or off.
Control Lock
Press and hold for 3 seconds to lock the controls to
avoid unwanted changes or operation. Press and
hold 3 seconds again to unlock. The indicator will light
to show when controls are locked. You may still press
START/PAUSE to pause the cycle, or press the POWER/
CANCEL button to turn the washer off.
DRUM LIGHT (Steam models only)
Steam models feature an LED drum light. Press and hold
Steam for Stains to turn the LED drum light on or off. The
light will also turn on when the door is open, and turn off
automatically after about 5 minutes.
STEAM FOR STAINS (Steam models only)
The Steam for Stains option adds additional soak and
wash time to many cycles to help remove tough stains.
An integrated heater helps to maintain optimal wash
temperatures. Steam for Stains includes a Steam boost for
added cleaning power. See the “Cycle Guide” for cycles that
allow the Steam for Stains option.

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.
* All temperature selections feature a Cold rinse, except Warm/Warm, which features a warm wash and a warm rinse.
Settings and options shown in bold are default settings for that cycle. For best fabric care, choose the cycle that best ts the
load being washed.
Not all cycles and options are available on all models.
For best performance, not all settings are available with each cycle, and some options cannot be used together.
Items to wash
using default
cycle settings:
10
USING YOUR WASHER
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.
1. Sort and prepare your laundry
First wash cycle without laundry
Before washing clothes for the rst time, if not completed during
the nal 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.
Choosing the Right Detergent
Use only High Efciency detergents. The package will be
marked “HE” or “High Efciency.” Low-water washing creates
excessive sudsing with a regular non-HE detergent. Using regular
detergent will likely result in longer cycle times and reduced
rinsing performance. It may also result in component failure and,
over time, build-up of 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.
Use only High Efciency (HE) detergent.
IMPORTANT:
n Empty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small object
can plug pumps and may require a service call.
n Close zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings and sashes, and
remove non-washable trim and ornaments.
n Mend rips and tears to avoid further damage to items
during washing.
n 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.
n Do not dry garments if stains remain after washing, because
heat can set stains into fabric.
n Always read and follow fabric care labels and laundry
product instructions. Improper usage may cause damage
to your garments.
2. Add single-dose laundry packet, Oxi,
or color-safe bleach (if desired)
Single-dose laundry packet, Oxi-type boosters, or color-safe
bleach can be added to the drum prior to adding laundry.
(Some models Oxi and bleach can be added to dispenser
drawer).
11
Add a measured amount of liquid chlorine bleach to the
bleach compartment. Do not overll, dilute, or use more than
2/3 cup (165 mL). Use a measuring cup with a pour spout; do
not guess.
n
Do not ll beyond the “MAX” level. Overlling will cause
bleach to dispense too soon and may cause garment
damage.
n
Do not add single-dose laundry packet, oxi-product, or
color-safe bleach to this dispenser. It will not dispense
correctly. See “Using the Dispenser” instructions on how
to use the dispenser.
6. Add liquid chlorine bleach
to dispenser (if desired)
Pour a measured amount of liquid fabric softener into liquid
fabric softener compartment. Always follow manufacturer’s
directions for correct amount of fabric softener based on your
load size.
Fabric softener is always dispensed in the last rinse, even if
Extra Rinse is selected.
IMPORTANT: Do not overll, dilute, or use more than 1/4 cup
(60 mL) of fabric softener. Do not ll past the MAX line.
Overlling dispenser will cause fabric softener to immediately
dispense into washer.
n
Do not spill or drip any fabric softener onto the clothes.
n
Do not use liquid fabric softener dispenser balls in this
washer. They will not dispense correctly.
5. Add fabric softener to dispenser
(if desired)

Open the washer door. 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 rmly until the latch clicks.
n 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.
n Mix large and small items and avoid washing single items.
Load evenly.
n Wash small items in mesh garment bags. For multiple items,
use more than one bag and ll bags equally.

WASHER CARE
Recommendations to Help Keep Your Washer Clean
and Performing at its Best
1. Always use High Efciency (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 prevent the buildup of
odor-causing residue.
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 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™ 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™ 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:
n Wear rubber gloves when cleaning with bleach.
n Refer to the bleach manufacturer’s instructions
for proper use.

WASHER CARE (cont.)
Cancellation of Clean Washer Cycle Operation:
If the Clean Washer cycle is canceled by the user after it has
been initiated, it may take up to 30 minutes for the washer
to purge any affresh
®
Cleaner, chlorine bleach, or other
chemistry from the wash system and to adequately rinse any
remaining chemistry. The washer door will remain locked until
the cancellation process has been completed. This assures
no cleaning chemistry will be carried over to the next wash
cycle and reduces the potential for damage to subsequent
loads of laundry or to the machine itself.
Clean Washer Cycle Cancellation Procedure:
1. Press the PAUSE/CANCEL or the POWER/CANCEL
button on the washer two times.
2. Washer will begin to drain and rinse away the remaining
cleaning chemistry.

4. The washer then can be used to either repeat the Clean
Washer cycle or to wash laundry using one of the regular
wash cycles selected by the user.
Cleaning the Outside of the Washer
Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe up any spills.
Occasionally wipe the outside of your washer to help
keep it looking new. Use mild soap and water.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging the washer’s nish, do not
use abrasive products.

inlet hoses.
2. Put 1 qt. (1 L) of R.V.-type antifreeze in washer drum
and run washer on RINSE AND SPIN cycle for about
1 minute to mix antifreeze and remaining water.
3. Unplug washer or disconnect power.
IMPORTANT: To reduce risk of hose failure, replace inlet
hoses every ve years and periodically inspect for kinks,
cuts, wear or water leaks.
HELPFUL TIP: When replacing your inlet hoses, mark
replacement date on label with a permanent marker.
TRANSPORTING YOUR WASHER
1. Shut off both water faucets. Disconnect and drain water
inlet hoses.
2. If washer will be moved during freezing weather, follow
WINTER STORAGE CARE directions before moving.
3. Disconnect drain hose from drain system and from back
of washer.
4. Unplug power cord.
5. Place inlet hoses and drain hose inside washer drum.
