A Quick Guide to Getting Started

* Please note your model may look slightly different than pictured.

Before you begin

• Double check that all shipping materials are removed from your new washer.
• Read your Use & Care Manual to familiarize yourself with your new washer.
• Run the washer through a complete cycle and check for water leaks and proper operation.

Care and cleaning

• Detergent and fabric softener may build up in the dispenser drawer. Clean the drawer by removing and rinsing under hot tap water.
• Run the Clean Washer cycle with bleach or PureAdvantage™ Probiotic Washer Cleaner once a month to clean and freshen the washer. See your Use & Care Manual for additional cleaning instructions.

Important to note: Your washer will remind you to run the clean washer cycle every 50 cycles. It is a good practice to clean the dispenser drawer at this time as well. Leaving the washer door and dispenser drawer open after use will allow condensation to dry and temper odors and residue.

FAQs

How do I use my detergent dispenser?

Take care not to fill any compartment in your dispenser beyond the maximum line. If your washer is equipped with an Adaptive Dispenser™ , add liquid bleach, fabric softener, and stain treating additives to the labeled compartments as needed, taking care not to overfill any compartment or use more than 2 detergent packs in the compartment.

Is it normal for my washer to make sounds?

Some sounds are part of your washer’s normal operations. You may hear the drain hose, water valves or pumps moving water through the cycle. Check your Use & Care Manual to learn more.

Can I open the washer door during a cycle?

If you need to add a forgotten item, press PAUSE and wait for the door to unlock. Add your item, close the door and press START to resume the cycle.

Remember to select PODS® on the display options when using detergent packs. This option will stay selected until you press to deactivate.
