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.
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
other 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.
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.
Use only "HE" High Efficiency detergent.
First Wash Cycle Without Laundry
Before washing clothes for the first time, choose the Normal/
Casual cycle and run it without clothes. Use _/2 the manufacturer's
recommended amount of powdered or liquid High Efficiency (HE)
detergent for a medium size load. This initial cycle serves to
ensure the interior is clean before washing clothes.
1. To load the 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 a 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
rubber rim 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: After any wash cycle is completed, the door must be
opened and then closed before a new cycle can begin. The
door can be opened only if PAUSE/CANCEL is selected while
the ADD A GARMENT light is glowing or if the cycle has been
canceled. See "To cancel a cycle" in "Changing Cycles,
Options and Modifiers" section.
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 selecting one of the WASH CYCLES.
The indicator light for the selected cycle will glow. When
selecting a Wash Cycle, the preset options, Water Temp, Spin
Speed, and Soil Level for the selected cycle will glow. The
display shows the estimated time remaining. The preset
settings provide the recommended fabric care for the
selected cycle. See "Cycles."
