Fire Hazard Warning:

Never place items in the washer that are damp with gasoline or other flammable fluids. No washer can completely remove oil. Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on it (including cooking oils). Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

Steps for Using Your Washer:

1. SORT & LOAD LAUNDRY: See "Loading Recommendation" section.
2. ADD HE DETERGENT & LAUNDRY PRODUCTS TO DISPENSERS: Remove the dispenser tray for powder HE detergent. Use the bulk dispenser for liquid detergent.
3. TOUCH POWER TO TURN ON THE WASHER.
4. SELECT THE DESIRED CYCLE FOR YOUR LOAD: Choose from "WHAT to wash" categories.
5. ADJUST CYCLE SETTINGS, IF DESIRED: Use Spin, Temp, and Soil options.
6. SELECT ADDITIONAL OPTIONS: Choose from Quick, Extra Rinse, More Options, etc.
7. TOUCH AND HOLD START/PAUSE TO BEGIN CYCLE.

Loading Recommendation:

For best performance, load items loosely and evenly around the washplate and agitator. Do not lay items lengthwise around the washplate or agitator.

Rinsing Before Running a Wash Cycle:

Water Faucet Operation: Press the faucet button once to turn on, and again to turn off. The faucet will automatically shut off after 10 minutes or when the maximum water level is reached. Water will drain automatically if the level becomes too high or the lid is left open for 10 minutes. On LOAD & GO™ models, when the faucet is on, touch the Temp button to select water temperature or the LOAD & GO™ button to manually dispense detergent.

Fabric Brush:

1. Turn the brush from the body to open.
2. Add liquid laundry detergent.
3. Turn to close.
4. To dispense detergent, push the button.

More Water When You Want It (Auto Sensing & Deep Water Wash):

The washer automatically adjusts the water level for the detected load size. Touch "Deep Water" to add more water. Levels: Auto, Medium, High, Max Fill. Not all levels are available on all cycles. It is normal for some items to be above the water line; the washer dampens and moves the load, causing items to settle.

Using the Dispenser:

The LOAD & GO™ feature is on by default. Touch the LOAD & GO™ button to view dispensing options. Hold the LOAD & GO™ button for 3 seconds to choose a detergent concentration (2X to 10X). Pull the drawer out for easy refilling.

2-IN-1 REMOVABLE AGITATOR

Agitator Mode: Keep it in for increased mechanical action to remove loose soils. Best for everyday mixed loads.

Impeller Mode: Remove it for added space and a gentle clean. Best for bulky items like bedding and delicate items like undergarments.

Using the Removable Agitator: Squeeze the handle, rotate counter-clockwise, and pull up to remove. Push down and rotate clockwise to re-install until it locks.

Cycle Guide

This guide helps you select the best cycle. First, determine "WHAT to wash" based on your items, then "HOW to wash" based on your desired cleaning method.

Sanitize with OXI: Use this cycle to eliminate 99.9% of bacteria when used with Oxi additives. Preset cycle settings must be used. Add an Oxi product before starting.

Note on Normal Cycle: The Normal cycle is recommended for normally soiled cotton or linen clothes. Government energy certifications were based on the Normal cycle with all wash temperature selections and water fill levels offered. It was tested as a User Adjustable Automatic Water Fill Control System clothes washer with the Agitator installed. The settings as shipped are Regular + Normal cycle, Warm Wash Temp and Auto Water level, Deep Water off.
