• Selecting “What to Wash” will automatically select a default “How to Wash selection,” so selecting a “How to Wash” is optional. See chart below for more details

CHOOSING THE RIGHT DETERGENT

• Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package will be marked
• HE” or “High Efficiency.” 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 Efficiency 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.
• If you use one of these and see a “SUD” error code appear in the display, consider using a different HE detergent. Always follow the detergent manufacturer’s instructions to determine the amount of detergent to use.

USING THE DISPENSERS

• For automatic dispensing, open the bulk dispenser drawer using the handle at the base of the washer. For a single load, open the single load dispenser drawer at the top left corner of the washer and disable the Load & Go™ option.

• Pour a measured amount of HE detergent into detergent compartment. For powdered detergent, lift the selector to the high position. For liquid detergent, push down the selector to the low position.
• Do not overfill; adding too much detergent may cause detergent to be dispensed into the washer too early.

USING YOUR WASHER

Sort and prepare your laundry

• Empty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small object can pass under the washplate and become trapped, causing unexpected sounds.
• Sort items by recommended cycle, water temperature, and colorfastness.
• Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled.
• Separate delicate items from sturdy fabrics.
• Do not dry items if stains remain after washing, because heat can set stains into fabric.
• Treat stains promptly.
• 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.

Helpful Tips:

1. For best performance, use HE liquid detergent when washing bulky items.
2. When washing water-proof or water-resistant items, load evenly. See “Cycle Guide” for tips and more information on using the Bedding cycle.
3. Use mesh garment bags to help avoid tangling when washing delicate or small items.
4. Turn knits inside out to avoid pilling. Separate lint-takers from lint-givers. Synthetics, knits, and corduroy fabrics will pick up lint from towels, rugs, and chenille fabrics. Always read and follow fabric care label instructions to avoid damage to your garments.

Add laundry products

• Single-dose laundry packet, color-safe bleach, or fabric softener crystals can be added to the basket prior to adding laundry.

NOTE:

• Do not add clothes to washer basket prior to adding laundry products. Always follow manufacturer’s instructions.

Load laundry into washer

1. Place a load of sorted items loosely in the washer. Items need to move freely for best cleaning and to reduce wrinkling and tangling.
2. If using the Wash & Dry option, loading the drum half full or less and not interrupting the drying cycle by opening the door will improve drying performance and cycle time.
3. Close the washer door by pushing it firmly until the latch clicks.
4. Push load fully into the washer. Make sure no items are resting on the rubber seal to avoid trapping them between the seal and the door window.
5. Mix large and small items and avoid washing single items. Load evenly.
6. Wash small items in mesh garment bags. For multiple items, use more than one bag and fill bags equally

Add HE detergent

• Add a measured amount of HE liquid detergent into detergent tray. This tray holds 3 oz. (89 mL).
• If adding powder HE detergent remove inside tray. Do not overfill tray – adding too much detergent may cause detergent to be dispensed into the washer too early.

NOTE:

• Make sure tray is in drawer when using liquid detergent and removed when using powder detergent. Do not go over the

Max line.

• Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package will be marked “HE” or “High Efficiency.” Low-water washing creates excessive sudsing with a non-HE detergent. Using nonHE 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 cloth
• Not all detergents labeled as High Efficiency 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.
• If you use one of these and see an “F0E2” error code appear in the display, consider using a different HE detergent. Always follow the detergent manufacturer’s instructions to determine the amount of detergent to use. Do not go over the Max line on the dispenser.

HELPFUL TIP:

• See “Washer Maintenance” for information recommended method of cleaning washer dispenser trays.

Add liquid fabric softener or Oxi to dispenser

• Pour a measured amount of liquid fabric softener or Oxi-type boosters, into tray; always follow manufacturer’s directions for correct amount of fabric softener or Oxi based on your load size. Close dispenser drawer, then select Oxi option

• Oxi is added during main wash and Fabric Softener is added during rinse. IMPORTANT: Oxi option must be selected to ensure proper distribution at correct time in cycle. Do not overfill or dilute. Overfilling dispenser will cause fabric softener to immediately dispense into washer.
• If Extra Rinse option is selected, fabric softener will be dispensed into the last rinse. It is normal for a small amount of water to remain in the dispenser at the end of a cycle.

Unlocking the lid to add items

• If you need to open the lid to add 1 or 2 missed items: Touch the Start/Pause button to pause the washer; the lid will unlock once the washer movement has stopped. This may take several minutes if the load was spinning at a high speed.
• Then close the lid and touch and hold the Start/Pause button again for up to 3 seconds to restart the cycle.

IMPORTANT:

• If the lid is left open for more than 10 minutes the water will pump out and the F8E6 error code will appear on the display.

WASHER MAINTENANCE

Clean and Performing at Its Best

1. Always use High Efficiency (HE) detergents and follow the HE detergent manufacturer’s instructions regarding the amount of HE detergent to use.
2. 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.
3. Use warm and hot wash water settings sometimes (not exclusively cold water washes), because they do a better job of controlling the rate at which soils and detergent accumulate.
4. Always leave the washer lid open between uses to help dry out the washer and prevent the buildup of odor-causing residue.

Cleaning Your Top-Loading Washer
