drawer.
_ ptimal Dispense Cartridge
Each dispenser cartridge holds up to 18.5 oz. (550 ml) of
liquid HE detergent, enough for up to 36 t loads, depending
on cycle and detergent concentration. The cartridge fits into
compartment (B) of the dispenser drawer for convenient
loading.
[] Change detergent concentration setting

preset of 2x concentration. See "About
Detergent ConcentrationS'
[] Change water hardness setting if
desired level is different than factory
preset of Normal.
_ Powdered High Efficiency "H E" detergent compartment

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.
Use only High Efficiency (HE) detergent.
t The number of loads will vary, depending on detergent concentration, load
size, cycle used, soil level and water hardness. The maximum capacity of up
to 36 loads requires use of 6x concentration detergent.

light will come on. You will hear a dick, the drum will make a
partial turn, and the door will unlock briefly before locking again.
Once the door has locked the second time, the washer 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.

USINGYOURWASHER
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, fill the HE liquid dispenser
cartridge and install in the dispenser drawer. Choose the NORMAL
cycle and run it without clothes. Use only HE detergent. This initial
cycle serves to ensure the interior is dean and the dispenser drawer
is ready for use 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:
m Empty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small object can
plug pumps and may require a service call.
m Close zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings and sashes, and remove
non-washable trim and ornaments.
m Mend rips and tears to avoid further damage to items during
washing.
m 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.
m Do not dry garments if stains remain after washing, because heat
can set stains into fabric.
m Always read and follow fabric care labels and laundry product
instructions. Improper usage may cause damage to your
garments.
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.
2, Add laundry products
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 latch clicks.
m 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.
m Mix large and small items and avoid washing single items. Load
evenly.
m Wash small items in mesh garment bags. For multiple items, use
more than one bag and fill bags equally.

ABOUT DETERGENTCONCENTRATION
Today's liquid HE detergents are concentrated. Most brands of
concentrated HE detergent will show the level of concentration on
the bottle, if so, simply set the concentration level in the Optimal
Dispense menu to match the level shown on the bottle.
However, if the detergent bottle does not give the concentration, it
can be easily calculated. Just divide the package size in fluid ounces
by the number of loads. Then refer to the chart below to find the
concentration.
if you do not get your desired cleaning results, try using a lower
concentration number, if you have excess suds, try using a higher
concentration number.
Concentration Number of ounces + number of loads
2X 1.5-2.49
3X 0.9-1.49
4X 0.7-0.89
5X 0.5-0.69
6X 0.3-0.49
