OPERATION

Using the Washer

WARNING
• To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before
operating this appliance.
NOTE
• The washer rotates the laundry in a way that allows it to use less water while still fully saturating your clothing.
It is normal to not be able to see water during the wash cycle.
• If the temperature or the water level inside the machine is too high, the door will not unlock when the Start/
Pause button is pressed. To open the door in these circumstances, press Add Garments. To stop a cycle and
drain the water completely, turn the power off, then on, and then press Rinse+Spin.
1
Sort Laundry and Load the Washer
Sort laundry by fabric type, soil level, color and load size, as needed. Open the
door and load items into the washer.
If using detergent pods, place pod in drum before loading laundry.
2
Add Cleaning Products.
Add the proper amount of HE (High-Efficiency) detergent to the detergent
dispenser. If desired, add bleach or fabric softener to the appropriate areas of
the dispenser drawer. Do not place liquid or powdered detergent pods in the
dispenser.
3
Turn on the Washer
Press the Power button to turn on the washer. The lights above the cycle
buttons will illuminate and a chime will sound.
4
Select a Cycle
Turn the Cycle Selector Knob until the desired cycle is selected. The preset
Temp., Spin, Soil and option settings for that cycle will be shown. Pressing the
Start/Pause button without selecting a cycle will cause the Normal cycle to
begin immediately.
5
Adjust Settings
Default settings for the selected cycle can now be changed, if desired, using the
cycle modifier and option buttons.
• Not all modifiers and options are available on all cycles. A different chime will
sound and the LED will not come on if the selection is not allowed.
6
Begin Cycle
Press the Start/Pause button to begin the cycle. The washer will agitate briefly
without water to measure the weight of the load. If the Start/Pause button is not
pressed within 60 minutes, the washer will shut off and all settings will be lost.
7
End of Cycle
When the cycle is finished, a melody will sound. Immediately remove your
clothing from the washer to reduce wrinkling. Check around the door seal when
removing the load for small items that may be caught in the seal.
