WASHER USE
Starting Your Washer
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to 
persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before 
operating this appliance.
The following is a guide to using your washer. Please refer to 
specific sections of this manual for more detailed information.
Do not store laundry products on the top surface of this washer. 
Vibration is normal during operation.
Using the Proper Detergent
Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package for this type of 
detergent will be marked “HE” or “High Efficiency.” This wash 
system, along with less water, will create too much sudsing with a 
regular non-HE detergent. Using regular detergent will likely result 
in washer errors, longer cycle times, and reduced rinsing 
performance. It may also result in component failures and 
noticeable 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. 
First Wash Cycle Without Laundry
Before washing clothes for the first time, if not completed during 
the final installation step, choose the Normal cycle and run it 
without clothes. Use only HE High Efficiency 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.
For All Wash Cycles
1. To load washer
Open the washer door by pulling on the handle. Sort laundry 
according to color and type of fabric. Place a load of sorted 
clothes in the washer. Do not overload washer. Overloading 
can cause poor cleaning. 
The washer can be fully loaded, but not tightly packed. 
Washer door should close easily.
Mix large and small items. Avoid washing a single item. 
Load evenly.
Wash small items such as infant socks in mesh garment 
bags. It is recommended that more than one garment bag 
be used and that each garment bag be filled with equal 
amounts of material.
When unloading garments, occasionally check under the 
seal/bellow at the front of the tub for small items. 
2. Close the washer door by pushing it firmly until the lock 
clicks. The washer door will remain locked during the wash 
cycle. 
NOTE: There is a routine at the beginning of each cycle to 
avoid unintended use of the washer. This routine will take 
approximately 1 minute to complete before the selected 
wash cycle begins.
3. Open the dispenser drawer and add laundry products to the 
detergent, bleach, or fabric softener compartments. Close 
drawer slowly to avoid spills. See “Using the Dispenser.”
4. Turn on the washer by turning the cycle selector and 
selecting one of the cycles. The indicator light for the 
selected cycle will illuminate. When selecting a Wash Cycle, 
the preset Modifiers, Options and Water Temp for the 
selected cycle will illuminate. The preset settings provide the 
recommended fabric care for the selected cycle. See 
“Cycles.”
5. Select the desired OPTIONS. Not all Options are available 
with all cycles. See “Options.”
Use only HE High Efficiency detergent.
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.
