To begin the wash cycle later
Select DELAY WASH until the desired delay time (in hours)
shows in the Estimated Time Remaining display. Select
START. The countdown to the wash cycle will show in the
display window.
iMPORTANT: When delaying a cycle, use only powdered
detergents in the main wash compartment since liquid
detergents may seep out of the compartment during Delay
Wash, before the wash cycle begins.
Your new washer has a dispenser drawer with four separate
compartments for your laundry products--two are for detergent,
one is for liquid chlorine bleach, and one is for liquid fabric softener.
Laundry products are diluted and dispensed automatically at the
proper time during the wash cycle, making it unnecessary for you
to return to the washer during the cycle to add them.
It is normal for small amounts of water to remain in the
dispensers when the wash cycle is complete.
Do not put laundry products directly into the wash tub. Always
use the proper dispensers when adding laundry products.
Choosing the Right Detergent
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. Remember,
concentrated detergent such as 2x or higher will use less detergent
based on load size.
To fill dispenser compartments
1. Pull out the dispenser drawer.
2. Add the desired laundry product to the proper compartment.
3. Push in the dispenser drawer slowly and completely (to avoid
a spill).

Prewash detergent compartment
(Letter B in Dispenser Illustration)
Add detergent to this compartment when using the Prewash
option or Presoak. Liquid or powdered detergent may be used in
this compartment. The detergent will automatically be dispensed
during Prewash if the Prewash option is selected or during the
soak time if Presoak is selected.
[] Using High Efficiency (HE) detergent, add 1/3the
recommended amount to the Prewash compartment and
2/3the recommended amount to the Main Wash
compartment.
Main Wash detergent compartment
(Letters A & C in Dispenser Illustration)
Add liquid or powdered HE detergent to this compartment for
your main wash cycle. The detergent type selector (A) must
always be in the correct position for the detergent type used.
Slide the detergent type selector to the correct position.
iMPORTANT: If you are using the Prewash, Presoak, or Delay
Wash option, powdered detergent must be used in the Main
Wash compartment, since liquid detergents may seep out of
the Main Wash compartment before the main wash begins.
[] Use the detergent manufacturer's recommended amount
for load size.
[] Liquid or powdered color-safe bleach may be added to the
Main Wash compartment along with the same type of
detergent, liquid or powdered.

Use only HE High Efficiency detergent.
