■ You will hear the door locking, unlocking, and locking
again. This is normal.
■ If you do not press START/PAUSE within 5 minutes of
choosing a cycle, the washer automatically shuts off.
■ When the wash cycle is complete, the DONE status light
illuminates, the door unlocks, and the wash load can be
removed from the washer. The washer powers down
automatically 5 minutes after the cycle is complete and the
DONE light goes off until door is opened. To power down
the washer manually after the wash cycle is complete, press
POWER/CANCEL once.
8. To begin the wash cycle later!
Press DELAY START until the desired dela
y time (in hours) is
displayed. Press START/PAUSE. The indicator will remain
illuminated during the desired time selected.
IMPORTANT: Whe
n delaying a cycle, use only powdered
detergents in the main wash compartment since liquid
detergents may seep out of the compartment during Delay,
before the wash cycle begins.
Using the Dispenser
Your new washer has a dispenser drawer with three separate
compartments for your laundry products—detergent, liquid chlorine
bleach, and liquid fabric softener. Laundry products are diluted and
dispensed automatically at the proper time during the wash cycle,
making it unnecessary for you to return to the washer during the
cycle to add them.
It is normal for small amounts of water to remain in the dispensers
w
hen the wash cycle is complete.
Do not put laundry products directly into the wash tub. Always use
the proper dispensers when adding laundry products.
Choosing the Right Detergent
Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package for this type of
detergent will be marked “HE” or “High Efficiency.”
This wash
system, along with less water, will create too much sudsing with a
regular non-HE detergent. Using regular detergent will likely result in
washer errors, longer cycle times, and reduced rinsing performance. It
may also result in component failures and noticeable mold or mildew.
HE detergents are made to produce the right amount of suds for the
best performance. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to
determine the amount of detergent to use.
Use only HE High Efficiency detergent.
To fill dispenser compartments
1. Pull out the dispenser drawer.
2. Add the desired laundry products to the proper compartment.
3. Pu
sh in the dispenser drawer slowly and completely (to avoid a
spill).
