compartment in the dispenser drawer. Add bleach and fabric
softener as desired.

Press the ON/OFF button to turn on the washer. The lights around
the cycle selector knob will illuminate.
SELECT A CYCLE

Turn the cycle selector knob to the desired cycle. The display will

and option settings for that cycle.

If you would like to change the settings for that cycle, press the
option button(s) to display additional settings for that option.
Press the button again to cycle through the settings until the
desired setting is shown.
NOTE: To protect your garments, not every wash/rinse
temperature, spin speed, soil level, or option is available with
every cycle.
6
SELECT CYCLE OPTIONS
Select any additional cycle options, such as STEAM, DELAY
WASH, or COLDWASH™ by pressing the button for that option,
or by pressing the OPTION button for additional options.
NOTE: To protect your garments, not every wash/rinse
temperature, spin speed, soil level, or option is available with
every cycle.
7
BEGIN CYCLE
Press the START/PAUSE button to begin the cycle. To pause the
cycle at any time, press START/PAUSE.
NOTE: If the temperature in the washer is too high, the door
cannot be unlocked until the washer has cooled. If the water level
is too high, select the Drain & Spin cycle (see the page 23 for
details) to drain excess water. Do not try to force the door open.
8
CHECK CYCLE TIME
The door will latch, the display will change, and the washer will
calculate the estimated time remaining. Once the washer has
calculated the estimated total cycle time, the washer will start.
NOTE: Washing time can be reduced significantly for small
or lightly soiled loads by selecting the Speed Wash cycle and
setting the Soil Level button to Light.
NOTE: The cycle time displayed may appear much longer
than that of a top loading washer. The displayed time is for the
complete cycle, rather than just the agitation portion of the cycle,
as is typically shown on a top-loading washer.
