Using The Dispenser Drawer - Whirlpool WFW80HEBW0 Use & Care Manual

CONTROL PANEL AND FEATURES
Choosing the Right Detergent
Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package will be marked
"HE" or "High Efficiency." Low-water washing creates excessive
sudsing with a non-HE detergent. Using non-HE detergent
will likely result in longer cycle times and reduced rinsing
performance. It may also result in component failure and, over
time, buildup of mold or mildew. HE detergents are low-sudsing
and quick-dispersing to produce the right amount of suds for
the best performance. They hold soil in suspension so it is not
re-deposited onto clean clothes. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions to determine the amount of detergent to use.
Done
Once the cycle is complete, this light will come on. Remove
the load promptly for best results. The Done indicator is also
lit during the TumbleFresh 'Moption.
Eco Monitor
The Eco Monitor allows you to see how the settings you select
affect your energy savings. To use the Eco Monitor, choose
the best cycle, temperature, spin speed, soil level, and options
for the fabrics being washed. The Eco Monitor will rate the
water and energy use of those selections, from Good to Best.
You can then adjust the settings and options to decrease the
amount of energy used within that cycle.
Use only High Efficiency (HE) detergent.

Delay Wash
If a Delay Wash is set, the Delay Wash indicator will light and
the delay time will count down in the display.
Door Locked
Door Locked will light to indicate that the door is locked and
cannot be opened without first pausing or canceling the cycle.
Sensing (on some models)
When START is touched, the washer will first perform a
self-test on the door lock mechanism and the sensing light
will come on. You will hear a click, the drum will make a partial
turn, and the door will unlock briefly before locking again.
Once the door has locked the second time, the washer will
drain to calibrate the sensors; then it will begin tumbling and
adding water. The sensing process will continue throughout
the cycle. You may also hear water flowing through the
dispenser, adding detergent to the load.
After the load size is sensed, the estimated time based on
load size will be displayed. The actual cycle time may be
lengthened; however, the display will continue to show the
estimated time.
The sensing light will blink once a second at various times
during the cycle, such as when the washer is reducing extra
suds.
Add Garment
When "Add Garment" is lit, you may pause the washer, open
the door, and add items.
TumbleFresh" option
TheTumbleFresh
TM
indicator will light when the TumbleFresh 'M
