NOTE
• The washer rotates the laundry in a way that allows it to use less water while still fully saturating your clothing.
It is normal to not be able to see water during the wash cycle. If the temperature or the water level inside
the machine is too high, the door locks and cannot be opened. To open the door while washing, use the
Rinse+Spin cycle.
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.
Cleaning Products
Add the proper amount of HE (High-Efficiency) detergent and liquid fabric
softener to the Auto Dispense reservoir or the manual dispenser. If desired, use
the manual dispenser to add powdered oxygen-based bleach. Do not use liquid
chlorine bleach.
Turn on the Washer
Press the Power button to turn on the washer. After a short delay, the display
will illuminate and a chime will sound.
Cycle Buttons
Touch a cycle icon in the display to select a cycle. Swipe left in the display to
see additional cycles.
Adjust Settings
Default settings for the selected cycle can now be changed, if desired, by
selecting the options in the display. See the Control Panel section for more
details.
NOTE
• Not all modifiers and options are available on all cycles. The selection will not
appear in the display if it is not allowed.
Begin Cycle
Press the Start/Pause button to begin the cycle. The washer will agitate briefly
without water to measure the weight of the load. If the Start/Pause button is not
pressed within 15 minutes, the washer will shut off and all settings will be lost.
End of Cycle
When the cycle is finished, a melody will sound. Immediately remove your
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.
