Operation Overview

  • Sort laundry and load the washer.

    • Sort laundry by fabric type, soil level, color and load size as needed. Open the door and load items into the washer.

    • If using single-use detergent packs, place pack into the drum before loading the laundry.

  • Add cleaning products.

    • Add the proper amount of HE (High-Efficiency) detergent to the detergent dispenser.

    • If desired, add bleach or fabric softener to the appropriate areas of the dispenser drawer.

    • Do not place liquid or powdered detergent packs in the dispenser.

  • Turn on the washer.

    • Press the Power button to turn on the washer.

  • Select a cycle.

    • Turn the cycle selector knob or press the cycle buttons repeatedly until the desired cycle is selected.

    • The preset wash temperature, spin speed, soil level and option settings for the selected cycle are shown.

    • The Normal cycle must be selected in order to change its default settings.

    • Pressing the Start/Pause button without selecting a cycle immediately starts the Normal cycle with the default settings.

  • Adjust settings.

    • Default settings for the selected cycle can be changed, if desired, using the cycle modifier and option buttons.

    • Not all modifiers and options are available on all cycles. A different chime sounds and the LED does not light up if the selection is not allowed.

  • Begin cycle.

    • Press the Start/Pause button to begin the cycle. The door locks, and the washer agitates briefly without water to measure the weight of the load.

    • If the Start/Pause button is not pressed within a certain time, the washer shuts off and all settings are lost.

  • End of cycle.

    • When the cycle is finished, a melody sounds. Immediately remove the clothing from the washer to reduce wrinkling.

    • Check around the door seal when removing the load for small items that may be caught in the seal.

Note
  • The washer rotates the laundry in a way that allows it to use less water while still fully saturating the clothing. It is normal to be unable to see water during the wash cycle.

  • If the temperature or the water level inside the machine is too high, the door will not unlock when the Start/Pause button is pressed, and the Add Garments function will not be available (on applicable models). To stop a cycle and drain the water completely, turn the power off, then on, and then select Rinse+Spin.
