7. 3. Push in the dispenser drawer slowly and completely (to avoid
a spill).

helpful when you are washing items that should be removed
from the washer as soon as it stops. Select ON or OFR
To begin the wash cycle immediately
Select and hold START (for approximately 1 second).
• If you do not select START within 5 minutes of choosing a
cycle, the washer automatically shuts off.
• When the wash cycle is complete, the CLOTHES CLEAN
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 CLOTHES CLEAN light goes off. To power down
the washer manually after the wash cycle is complete,
select PAUSE/CANCEL once.
To begin the wash cycle later
Select DELAY 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.
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 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, reduced rinsing performance,
and may 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.
To fill dispenser compartments
1. Pull out the dispenser drawer.
2. Add the desired laundry product to the proper compartment.

Prewash detergent compartment
(Letter A in Dispenser Illustration)
Add detergent to this compartment when using the Prewash
option or Soak cycle. 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 Soak is selected.
• Using High Efficiency (HE) detergent, add 1/3the
recommended amount to the prewash compartment and %
the recommended amount to the main wash compartment.
Main Wash detergent compartment
(Letter C in Dispenser Illustration)
Add liquid or powdered HE detergent to this compartment for
your main wash cycle. The detergent separator must always be in
place, either in the front or back position.
IMPORTANT: If you are using the Prewash, Soak or Delay 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.
• Do not fill beyond the "MAX" level.
• Liquid or powdered color-safe bleach may be added to the
Main Wash compartment along with the same type of
detergent, liquid or powdered.
