Fire Hazard
Never pmace items in the washer that are dampened
with gasomine or ether flammable fluids°
No washer can completely remove oH.
Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oH on
it (incmuding 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
specific 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 only HE High
Efficiency detergent. Use 1/2the manufacturer's recommended
amount for a medium sized load. This initial cycle serves to
ensure the interior is clean before washing clothes.
For All Wash Cycles
1. To load 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 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.
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 STOP is selected while the ADD A
GARMENT light is illuminated or if the cycle has been
canceled. See "To cancel a cycle" in the "Changing Cycles,
Options and Modifiers" section.
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."
NOTE: Use only HE High Efficiency detergents.
Turn on the washer by selecting POWER. Select one of the
cycles by turning the cycle selector. The indicator light for the
selected cycle will illuminate. When selecting a Wash Cycle,
the preset Modifiers and Options, Water Temp, and Spin
Speed for the selected cycle will illuminate. The preset
settings provide the recommended fabric care for the
selected cycle. See "Wash Cycles."
