LOADING YOUR WASHER
• You can fi ll the tub with dry, unfolded clothes, but DO NOT OVERLOAD the tub. No more than 3/4 full.
• Overloading may reduce washing effi ciency, cause excess wear, and possibly cause creasing or
wrinkling of the load.
• Wash delicate items such as bras, hosiery, and other lingerie in the Delicates cycle with similar
lightweight items.
• When washing big bulky items or a few smaller items that don't fi ll the tub completely – a rug, a pillow,
stuffed toys, or one or two sweaters, for example – add a few towels to improve tumbling and spin
performance.
During the spin cycle, the washer may add additional water to redistribute the clothes and correct an
inbalance inside the drum.
• When washing heavily soiled loads, do not overload your washer to ensure good cleaning results.
• To add a forgotten item:
1. Press the Start/Pause Button.
2. Wait for the Door Lock light to go out (5 seconds).
3. Add the item, close the door, and press the Start/Pause Button.
After a 10-second pause, the cycle will resume.

GETTING STARTED

1. Load your Washer.
2. Close the door.
Push the laundry into the drum completely to prevent the laundry from being caught in the door or
from falling out of the drum.
CAUTION
3. Add detergent and additives to the dispenser (see pages 26~27).
4. Select the appropriate cycle and options for the load (see pages 19~21).
5. Press the Start/Pause Button.
6. The Wash Indicator light will illuminate.
7. The estimated cycle time will appear in the display.
The time may fl uctuate to indicate the time remaining in the cycle better.
The actual time required for a cycle may differ from the estimated time in the display depending on the
water pressure, water temperature, detergent, and laundry.
8. Before your washer starts to fi ll, it will make a series of clicking noises to check the door lock and do a
quick drain.
• When the cycle is complete, the Door Lock light will go out and "End" will appear in the display.
• DO NOT attempt to open the door until the Door Lock light is off. To add a forgotten item, see
"Loading your Washer" section. (page 18)
• When your Washer is restarted after a pause, expect a delay of up to 15 seconds before the cycle
continues.
• Pressing the Power button cancels the cycle and stops your washer.
• The Pre Wash, Wash, Rinse, and Spin indicator lights will illuminate during those portions of the
cycle.
