6. Select the desired MODIFIERS. Not all modifiers are available
with all cycles and options. See "Modifiers."

helpful when you are washing items that should be removed
from the washer as soon as it stops. Select LOUDER or
SOFTER.
8. To begin the wash cycle
Select CONTROL ON.
If you do not select HOLD TO START within 5 minutes of
choosing a cycle, the washer automatically shuts off.
When the wash cycle is complete, the CYCLE
COMPLETE status light glows, the door unlocks, and the
wash load can be removed from the washer. The washer
powers down automatically 5 minutes after the cycle is
complete and the CYCLE COMPLETE light goes off. To
power down the washer manually after the wash cycle is
complete, select PAUSE/CANCEL once.
9. 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

When delaying a cycle, use only powdered detergents in
the main wash compartment since liquid detergents may
seep out of the compartment during Delay, before the
wash cycle begins.

Using the Dispenser

Your new washer has a dispenser drawer with three separate
compartments for your laundry products—one is 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 additives 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.
Use only HE High Efficiency detergent.
To fill dispenser compartments
1. Pull out the dispenser drawer.
2. Add the desired laundry product to the proper compartment.

detergent, liquid or powdered.
