Stack Kit If space is at a premium, the stack kit allows the dryer to be installed on top of the washer. 15" Pedestal Color-matched pedestals raise the washer and dryer to a more comfortable working height. The large drawer provides convenient storage.4 Control Panel and Features NOTE: The control panel features a sensitive surface that responds to a light touch of your nger. To ensure your selections are registered, touch the control panel with your nger tip, not your ngernail. When selecting a setting or option, simply touch its name. Cycle Status Lights Delay Wash – If a Delay Wash is set, the Delay Wash indicator will light and the delay time will count down in the display. Door Locked – Door Locked will light to indicate that the door is locked and cannot be opened without rst pausing or canceling the cycle. Add Garment – When “Add Garment” is lit, you may pause the washer, open the door, and add items. Touch and hold START to start the washer again. Done – Once the cycle is complete, this light will come on. Remove the load promptly for best results. Efciency Monitor – The Efciency Monitor allows you to see how the settings you select affect your energy savings. To use the Efciency Monitor, choose the best cycle, temperature, spin speed, and options for the fabrics being washed. The Efciency Monitor will rate the water and energy use of those selections, from Good to Best. You can then adjust the settings and options to decrease the amount of energy used within that cycle. Wash Temp The recommended wash temperature is preset for each cycle. You may also select a wash temperature based on the type of fabric and soils being washed. For best results, follow the garment label instructions. All wash temperatures feature a cold rinse. Spin This washer automatically selects the spin speed based on the cycle selected. Some preset speeds can be changed. n Faster spin speeds mean shorter dry times, but may increase wrinkling in your load. n Slower spin speeds reduce wrinkling, but will leave your load more damp.

POWER Touch to turn the washer on and off. Touch to stop/cancel a cycle at any time. NOTE: Turning the Wash Cycle knob will also turn the washer on and off.

Turn the knob to select a cycle for your laundry load. An LED will light up for the cycle selected. NOTE: The Clean Washer with affresh

LED will ash when the washer has run 30 wash cycles as a reminder to run the Clean Washer with affresh

cycle. See “Cycle Guide” for detailed descriptions of cycles. START Touch and hold until the light above START comes on to start a cycle, or touch once while a cycle is in process to pause it. If you want to add a garment, you can touch START when the “Add Garment” LED is on. DELAY WASH Use + and – to delay the start of the wash cycle by up to 8 hours.

LED DISPLAY AND SETTINGS

When you select a cycle, its default settings will light up and the Estimated Time Remaining will be displayed (for times longer than 99 minutes, hours will be displayed, followed by minutes). Factors such as load size, wash temperature, and water pressure may affect the time shown in the display during the cycle. Tightly packing garments, unbalanced loads, or excessive suds may cause the washer to adjust the cycle time, as well. Touch the desired setting along the bottom of the display to adjust. See “Cycle Guide” for available settings on each cycle. Not all settings are available with all cycles.

High Efciency “HE” detergent compartment This compartment holds liquid or powdered HE detergent for your main wash cycle. Liquid fabric softener compartment Automatically dilutes and dispenses liquid fabric softener at the optimum time in the cycle.

Use only liquid fabric softener in this dispenser. Liquid chlorine bleach compartment Automatically dilutes and dispenses liquid chlorine bleach at the optimum time during the rst rinse after the wash cycle. This compartment cannot dilute powdered bleach.

DISPENSER DRAWER The dispenser drawer gives you the convenience of automatically adding HE detergent, liquid chlorine bleach, and liquid fabric softener to the wash load at the proper time. See “Using the Dispenser Drawer” for information on using the dispenser drawer.

Adding HE detergent to dispenser Powdered detergent: Lift the selector to the high position.Liquid detergent: Push down the selector to the low position. Pour a measured amount of HE detergent into detergent compartment. For powdered detergent, lift the selector to the high position. For liquid detergent, push down the selector to the low position. Do not overll; adding too much detergent may cause detergent to be dispensed into the washer too early. Use only High Efciency (HE) detergent. IMPORTANT: n Do not add single-dose laundry packet to dispenser drawer. n Use powdered detergent when using the Delay Wash option. Liquid detergent may seep out before the wash begins. HE detergent compartment Using the Dispenser Drawer

1. Open the dispenser drawer.

2. Add laundry products as described in steps 4–6 in the “Using

Your Washer” section.

3. Slowly close the dispenser drawer. Make sure it is

completely closed. NOTE: A small amount of water may remain in the dispensers from the previous wash cycle. This is normal. SelectorSelector in high positionSelector in low positionUse only High Efciency (HE) detergent. Choosing the Right Detergent Use only High Efciency detergents. The package will be marked “HE” or “High Efciency.” Low-water washing creates excessive sudsing with a non-HE detergent. Using non-HE detergent will likely result in longer cycle times and reduced rinsing performance. It may also result in component failure and, over time, buildup of mold or mildew. HE detergents are low-sudsing and quick-dispersing to produce the right amount of suds for the best performance. They hold soil in suspension so it is not re-deposited onto clean clothes. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to determine the amount of detergent to use. OPTIONS Touch to activate additional wash options or additional features on the washer. Control Lock Touch and hold for 3 seconds to lock the controls to avoid unwanted changes or operation. Touch and hold 3 seconds again to unlock. For each second CONTROL LOCK is held down, the display will count down one second: you will see “3,” then “2,” then “1.” You may still touch START to pause the cycle, or touch POWER to turn off the washer.

Extra-large load: Fill the washer drum, but make sure clothes can tumble freely. For best results, avoid packing tightly.7 Using Your Washer 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.

1. Sort and prepare your laundry

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 rmly 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 ll bags equally.

3. Load laundry into washer

First wash cycle without laundry Before washing clothes for the rst time, if not completed during the nal installation step, choose the QUICK cycle and run it without clothes. Use only HE 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.

2. Add laundry products (if desired)

Single-dose laundry packet, Oxi-type boosters, color-safe bleach, or fabric softener crystals can be added to the drum prior to adding laundry. NOTE: Do not add clothes to washer drum prior to adding laundry products. Always follow manufacturer’s instructions.8 Add liquid chlorine bleach to the bleach compartment. Do not overll, dilute, or use more than 2/3 cup (157 mL). Do not use color-safe bleach or Oxi in the same cycle with liquid chlorine bleach. Always measure liquid chlorine bleach. Use a measuring cup with a pour spout; do not guess. Do not ll beyond the “MAX” level. Overlling could cause garment damage.

6. Add liquid chlorine bleach to dispenser

(if desired) Pour a measured amount of liquid fabric softener into liquid fabric softener compartment. Always follow manufacturer’s directions for correct amount of fabric softener based on your load size. IMPORTANT: Do not overll, dilute, or use more than 1/4 cup (60 mL) of fabric softener. Do not ll past the MAX line. Overlling dispenser will cause fabric softener to immediately dispense into washer.

Do not spill or drip any fabric softener onto the clothes.

Do not use liquid fabric softener dispenser balls in this washer. They will not dispense correctly.

5. Add liquid fabric softener to dispenser

(if desired) Adjust the selector, based on type of HE detergent used (either liquid or powdered). See “Using the Dispenser Drawer” instructions on how to use the dispenser.

1. Always use High Efciency (HE) detergents and follow the

HE detergent manufacturer’s instructions regarding the amount of HE detergent to use. Never use more than the recommended amount because that may increase the rate at which detergent and soil residue accumulate inside your washer, which in turn may result in undesirable odor.

2. Use warm or hot water washes sometimes (not exclusively

cold water washes), because they do a better job of controlling the rate at which soils and detergent accumulate.

3. Always leave the washer door slightly ajar between uses

to help dry out the washer and avoid the buildup of odor- causing residue.

4. Periodically clean residue from the underside of the glass

window. Cleaning Your Front Loading Washer Read these instructions completely before beginning the routine cleaning processes recommended below.
