Getting started
Power Clean and Gentle Care
G
The Auto setting balances wash performance, fabric care, and cycle time for normally-soiled or lightly-soiled loads.
Gentle Care reduces agitation time and adds a series of soaks to reduce fabric wear/fading while still providing great wash
performance on garments needing special care.
Use Power Clean to add heavy agitation and soaking to boost wash performance for loads needing a deep clean.
Alexa Voice Assistant
H
Your washer is embedded with Alexa voice assistant.
When connected to your SmartHQ App, you can use your
voice to automatically set your washer to handle tough stains
or to set the appropriate cycle to wash specific fabrics.
When paired with compatible dryer, you can also set your
dryer to optimally handle a specific fabric. Refer to the label
on the inside of your washer lid to utilize your laundry voice
assistant. Download your SmartHQ App and connect your
washer to set up your built in Alexa.
SmartDispense™
I
When selected, this feature will automatically add
detergent to the wash, eliminating the need to add
detergent for each load.
The detergent amount selection on
the control panel will default to AUTO
when first powering up the washing
machine. When AUTO is selected,
the amount of detergent needed for
each laundry load will automatically
be determined based on the size of
the load the machine senses.
Adding Detergent to SmartDispenser™
This machine is equipped with a bulk detergent reservoir
that can hold approximately 75 ounces of liquid detergent
for your convenience. This is enough detergent for about
50 average laundry loads, depending on what dispense
amount is selected.
When the Tank Low or Tank Empty LED is illuminated,
more detergent should be added to the reservoir to ensure
detergent will be available for the next cycle.
The filling port of the detergent reservoir is located on the
front left of the washing machine. To fill the reservoir with
liquid detergent, first open the tank lid by rotating the small
lid clockwise. Then pour LIQUID detergent into the opening
until the level reaches the MAX indicator located inside
the filling port, also indicated with the horizontal line next
to the MAX lettering. Filling to this MAX level will provide
detergent for about 50 average laundry loads.

If it is desired to manually select the amount of
detergent for a given load, this can be done by pressing
the Select button on the Smart Dispense control panel to
choose between Less or More detergent. Less will provide
less detergent than the Auto selection and More will
provide more detergent than the Auto selection.
The smart dispense feature can be disabled by pressing
the Select button on the Smart Dispense control panel
until Off is selected.
NOTE: Not all cycles will allow the use of the
SmartDispense feature. If the Off LED is illuminated and
pressing the Select button results in a beeping tone, then
SmartDispense is not allowed for the cycle that has been
selected. Detergent will need to be added directly to the
wash basket for these cycles.
( PTW905 and PTW900 models only )
NOTE: If it is desired to change detergent type in the
detergent tank, it is not required to flush the smart dispense
system. The new detergent type can be added to a partially-
filled tank, however it will not be immediately dispensed
until the original detergent is completely dispensed from the
system.
NOTE: In the event that excessive chlorine bleach is
accidentally spilled or otherwise gets into the detergent
tank, please follow the Detergent Tank Clean-Out
instructions in the Care and Cleaning section in order to
minimize the possibility for clothing damage. If only a few
drops of bleach are spilled into the detergent tank, there is
no need to flush the tank.
