Starting Your Washer

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to

persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before

operating this appliance.

The following is a guide to using your washer. Please refer to

specific sections of this manual for more detailed information.

Do not store laundry products on the top surfac

e of this washer.

Vibration is normal during operation.

Using the Proper 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.

First Wash Cycle Without Laundry

Before washing clothes for the first time, if not completed during

the final installation step, choose the Normal cycle and run it

without clothes. Use only HE High Efficiency detergent. Use 1/2

the manufacturer’s recommended amount for a medium-size load.

This initial cycle serves to ensure the interior is clean before

washing clothes.

For All Wash Cycles

handle. Sort laundry

according to color and type of fabric. Place a load of sorted

clothes in the washer. Do not overload washer. Overloading
