Adding HE detergent to dispenser
Pour a measured amount of HE
detergent into detergent compartment.
Do not overll; adding too much
detergent may cause detergent to be
dispensed into the washer too early.
IMPORTANT:
Do not add single-dose laundry
packet to dispenser drawer.
Use powdered detergent when using the Delay Wash
option. Liquid detergent may seep out before the wash
begins.
Adding the proper amount of detergent
Only use detergent manufacturer’s recommended
quantity of detergent (HE liquid or HE powder).
If the PreWash option is selected, split the detergent dose
between the Prewash and Main Wash compartments.
Use only High Efficiency
(HE) detergent.
Using the Dispenser Drawer
1. Open the dispenser drawer.
2. Add laundry products as described in steps 4–6
in the “Using Your Washer” section.
3. Slowly close the dispenser drawer. Make sure it is
completely closed.
NOTE: A small amount of water may remain in the dispensers
from the previous wash cycle. This is normal.
IMPORTANT: Do not use chlorine bleach in this washer.
Choosing the Right Detergent
Use only High Efciency detergents. The package will be marked
“HE” or “High Efciency.” Low-water washing creates excessive
sudsing with a non-HE detergent. Using non-HE detergent
will likely result in longer cycle times and reduced rinsing
performance. It may also result in component malfunction and,
over time, buildup of mold or mildew. HE detergents should be
low-sudsing and quick-dispersing to produce the right amount
of suds for the best performance. They should hold soil in
suspension so it is not redeposited onto clean clothes. Not all
detergents labeled as High Efciency are identical in formulation
and their ability to reduce suds. For example, natural, organic,
or homemade HE detergents may generate a high level of suds.
Always follow the detergent manufacturer’s instructions to
determine the amount of detergent to use.
Use only High Efficiency
(HE) detergent.
About Detergent Concentration
Today’s liquid HE detergents are concentrated. Most brands of
concentrated HE detergent will show the level of concentration
on the bottle.
However, if the detergent bottle does not give the concentration,
it can be easily calculated. Just divide the package size in uid
ounces by the number of loads. Then refer to the chart below
to nd the concentration.
If you do not get your desired cleaning results, try using a lower
concentration number. If you have excess suds, try using a
higher concentration number.
Concentration Number of ounces ÷ number of loads
2X 1.5–2.49 (44.4 ml–73.6 ml)
3X 0.9–1.49 (26.6 ml–44.1 ml)
4X 0.7–0.89 (20.7 ml–26.3 ml)

Single-dose laundry packets, Oxi-type boosters, or fabric
softener crystals can be added to the drum prior to adding
laundry.
NOTES:
Always follow manufacturer’s instructions.
Do not use chlorine bleach.
Using Your Washer
Sort items by recommended cycle, water temperature,
and colorfastness. Separate heavily soiled items from lightly
soiled. Separate delicate items from sturdy fabrics. Treat
stains promptly and check for colorfastness by testing stain
remover products on an inside seam.
IMPORTANT:
Empty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small
object can plug pumps and may require a service call.
Close zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings and sashes,
and remove non-washable trim and ornaments.
Mend rips and tears to avoid further damage to items
during washing.
Turn knits inside out to prevent pilling. Separate lint-takers
from lint-givers. Synthetics, knits, and corduroy fabrics will
pick up lint from towels, rugs, and chenille fabrics.
Do not dry garments if stains remain after washing,
because heat can set stains into fabric.
Always read and follow fabric care labels and laundry
product instructions. Improper usage may cause damage
to your garments.
1. Sort and prepare your laundry
First wash cycle without laundry
Before washing clothes for the rst time, add liquid or powdered
HE detergent to the detergent dispenser. Choose the Quick
Wash cycle and run it without clothes. Use only HE detergent.
This initial cycle serves to ensure the interior is clean and the
dispenser drawer is ready for use before washing clothes.
2. Add laundry products (if desired)
Place a load of sorted items loosely in the washer. Items need
to move freely for best cleaning and to reduce wrinkling and
tangling. Close the washer door by pushing it rmly until the
latch clicks.
Depending on load type and cycle, the washer can be fully
loaded, but not tightly packed. Washer door should close
easily. See “Program/Cycle Guide” for loading suggestions.
Mix large and small items and avoid washing single items.
Load evenly.
Wash small items in mesh garment bags. For multiple
items, use more than one bag and ll bags equally.
3. Load laundry into washer
background

4. Add HE detergent*
NOTE: Do not add single-dose laundry packets, Oxi-type
boosters, or fabric softener crystals to dispensers. They will
not dispense correctly.
Liquid
HE detergent
Pour a measured amount of liquid fabric softener into liquid
fabric softener compartment. Always follow manufacturer’s
directions for correct amount of fabric softener based on
your load size.
Fabric softener is always dispensed in the last rinse, even
if Extra Rinse is selected.
IMPORTANT: Do not overll, dilute, or use more than
1/4 cup (60 mL) of fabric softener. Do not ll past the MAX
line. Overlling dispenser will cause fabric softener to
immediately dispense into washer.
Do not spill or drip any fabric softener onto the clothes.
Do not use liquid fabric softener dispenser balls in this
washer. They will not dispense correctly.
5. Add liquid fabric softener
to dispenser (if desired)

Washer Maintenance
WASHER CARE
Recommendations to Help Keep Your Washer Clean
and Performing at Its Best
1. Always use High Efciency (HE) detergents and follow the
HE detergent manufacturer’s instructions regarding the
amount of HE detergent to use. Never use more than the
recommended amount because that may increase the
rate at which detergent and soil residue accumulate inside
your washer, which in turn may result in undesirable odor.
2. Use warm or hot water washes sometimes (not exclusively
cold water washes), because they do a better job of
controlling the rate at which soils and detergent accumulate.
3. Always leave the washer door slightly ajar between
uses to help dry out the washer and avoid the buildup
of odor-causing residue.
4. Periodically clean residue from all interior surfaces of the
glass window. For better care, wipe the entire inside of the
glass door with a damp cloth.
Cleaning Your Front-Loading Washer
Read these instructions completely before beginning
the routine cleaning processes recommended below.
This Washer Maintenance Procedure should be performed,
at a minimum, once per month or every 30 wash cycles,
whichever occurs sooner, to control the rate at which soils
and detergent may otherwise accumulate in your washer.
Cleaning the Door Seal
1. Open the washer door and remove any clothing or items
from the washer.
2. Inspect the seal between the door opening and the drum
for stained areas or soil buildup. Pull back the seal to
inspect all areas under the seal and to check for foreign
objects.
3. If stained areas or soil buildup are found, wipe down these
areas of the seal using the following procedure:
When the cycle is complete, gently pull back the rubber
door seal and clean the entire surface with the textured
side of an affresh
®
Machine Cleaning Wipe.
WASHER CARE (cont.)
Cleaning the Inside of the Washer
This washer has a special cycle that uses higher water
volumes in combination with affresh
®
Washer Cleaner to
thoroughly clean the inside of the washer. Steam washer
models also utilize steam to enhance cleaning in this special
cycle.
NOTE: Read these instructions completely before beginning
the cleaning process.
Begin procedure
Clean Washer with affresh

®
Cycle
Operation:
1. Do not run this cycle with a load. Doing so could damage
the items.
2. After the cycle is complete, leave the door open slightly
to allow for better ventilation and drying of the washer
interior.
Cleaning the Dispensers
After a period of using your washer, you may nd some
residue buildup in the washer’s dispensers. To remove
residue from the dispensers, remove the drawer and wipe
the surfaces with an affresh
®
Machine Cleaning Wipe or a
damp cloth and towel dry either before or after you run the
Clean Washer with affresh
®
cycle. Use an all-purpose surface
cleaner, if needed.
IMPORTANT: Dispenser is not dishwasher safe.
Cleaning the Outside of the Washer
Use an affresh
®
Machine Cleaning Wipe or a soft, damp
cloth or sponge to wipe up any spills. Occasionally wipe the
outside of your washer to help keep it looking new. Use an
affresh
®
Machine Cleaning Wipe or mild soap and water.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging the washer’s nish,
do not use abrasive products.
Replace inlet hose after ve years of use to reduce the risk
of hose failure. Periodically inspect and replace inlet hose
if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found.
When replacing your inlet hose:
Mark the date of replacement on the label with a
permanent marker.
Check that the old washer is not stuck on the washer
inlet valve.
Use a new washer in the new inlet hose to ensure a
proper seal.
