Operation Overview
1
Sort laundry and load the washer.
• Sort laundry by fabric type, soil level, color
and load size, as needed. Open the lid and
load items into the washer.
• If using single-use detergent packs, or gel
or tablet detergents, place them in the tub
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 dispensers.
• Do not place liquid or powdered detergent
packs, or gel or tablet detergents in the
dispenser.

Turn on the washer.
• Press the Power button to turn on the
washer.
• The lights above the cycle buttons will
illuminate and a chime will sound.

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

on all cycles. A different chime sounds and
the LED does not light up if the selection is

Begin cycle.
• Press the Start/Pause button to begin the
cycle. The lid 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.

wash cycle to indicate when it is safe to add
items to the tub.

cycle and add items to the tub. Press the
Start/Pause button to resume the cycle.

turns off may result in poor wash
performance.

sounds. Immediately remove the clothing
from the washer to reduce wrinkling.
• If the washer includes lint filters, remember
to check lint filters after every 2 to 3 loads.
