USING YOUR WASHER
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
WARNING
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:
n Empty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small
object can plug pumps and may require a service call.
n Close zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings and sashes, and
remove non-washable trim and ornaments.
n Mend rips and tears to avoid further damage to items
during washing.
n
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.
n Do not dry garments if stains remain after washing,
because heat can set stains into fabric.
n Always read and follow fabric care labels and laundry
product instructions. Improper usage may cause damage
to your garments.

Sort and prepare your laundry
First wash cycle without laundry
Before washing clothes for the first time, fill the HE liquid
dispenser cartridge and install in the dispenser drawer. Choose
the SMALL LOAD 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.
Single-dose laundry packet, Oxi-type boosters, or color-safe
bleach can be added to the drum prior to adding laundry.
2.
Add single-dose laundry packet, Oxi,
or color safe bleach (if desired)
Open the washer door. If desired, add single-dose laundry
packet, Oxi product, or color-safe bleach to the washer drum
before loading clothes. Place a load of sorted clothes 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 firmly until the latch clicks.
n Depending on load type and cycle, the washer can be fully
loaded, but not tightly packed. Washer door should close
easily. See “Cycle Guide” for loading suggestions.
n Mix large and small items and avoid washing single items.
Load evenly.
n Wash small items in mesh garment bags. For multiple items,
use more than one bag and fill bags equally.
