Controls - Whirlpool WASHER Use & Care Manual

Main Wash detergent compartment
(Letter B in Dispenser Illustration)
Add liquid or powdered HE detergent to this compartment for
your main wash cycle.
IMPORTANT: If you are using the Pre Wash option, powdered HE
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.
The control panel is simple to understand and easy to operate. The illustration below defines the knobs and buttons, and the
paragraphs define the purpose of each.
Power
This button switches the power to the machine on and off. The
button will glow to indicate the power is on, and the START
button will flash.
Cycle Knob
Turn this knob to the desired cycle. The Cycle Chart defines each
Cycle in detail, so you can determine which cycle is best for each
type of load.
Stop Position
If you turn the Cycle Knob to Stop to interrupt a cycle to add an
item or to cancel a cycle, there will be a 2-minute delay before the
door lock will release and you can open the door. To restart the
machine, you will have to reposition the Cycle Knob and press
the START button.
NOTE: Before the cycle will start, the machine will drain any
water already in the machine. Before you press START, it is a
good idea to make sure you do not need to add more detergent.

Fabric Softener compartment
(Letter D in Dispenser Illustration)
Add ¼ cup (60 mL) liquid fabric softener to this compartment.
Fabric softener will be automatically dispensed in the final rinse.
Do not fill beyond the "MAX" level.

Status Lights
As the cycle progresses, the light for the cycle in progress will
glow. The Stop indicator light glows when the cycle is complete.
At this point, there will be a 2-minute delay before the door lock
will release and you can open the door.
Spin Speed Knob
Use this knob to set the spin speed. In addition to the Low,
Medium, High and Extra High spin speeds, there is a No Spin
option. This is for delicate fabrics that should not be spun dry.
Extra Rinse Button
This button sets the cycle to add one or two rinse cycles. The
button will glow when this option is on. See "Cycles" for an
explanation of the number of rinse cycles added to each cycle.
Three rinses are usually sufficient, but if you live in an area with
very soft water or you are allergic to detergent, you may want to
use this option. This option is not available with Quick Wash or
Spin.
