WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS, located in your appliance’s Owner’s Manual, before operating this appliance.
STEP 1. ADD HE DETERGENT
Designed to use only HE (High Efficiency)detergents.

ADDING LAUNDRY PRODUCTS
IMPORTANT: Using non-HE detergent will likely result in longer cycle times and reduced rinsing performance. It may also result in component malfunction and, over time, the buildup of mold or mildew. HE detergents should be low-sudsing and quick-dispersing to produce the right amount of suds for the best performance.
ADDING THE DETERGENT TO THE BASKET
Add a measured amount of HE detergent or single-dose laundry packets into the basket. If using oxi-type boosters, color-safe bleach, or fabric softener crystals, add to the bottom of the washer basket before adding clothes.
NOTE: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to determine the number of laundry products to use.
ADDING LIQUID CHLORINE BLEACH
o not overfill, dilute, or use more than 1 cup (236 mL). Do not use color-safe bleach or oxi products in the same cycle as liquid chlorine bleach.
ADDING LIQUID FABRIC SOFTENER
If you desire to use liquid fabric softener with this washer, Whirlpool suggests using the Downy Ball ® dispenser. Pour a measured amount of liquid fabric softener into the Downy Ball ® dispenser, pull the ring tightly to seal it, and place it on top of the load. Follow the manufacturer’s directions for the correct amount of fabric softener based on your load size. Then use the Rinse Options button to select Fabric Softener. The Downy Ball ® dispenser will automatically release the fabric softener at the correct time in the cycle. For questions on using the Downy Ball ®
dispenser visit www.downy.com.
ADDING LIQUID FABRIC SOFTENER MANUALLY
Select the Fabric Softener option on the control panel before starting a cycle. During the final rinse, wait until the washer has completed filling, press the Start/Pause button to pause the washer. Lift the lid and add the recommended amount of liquid fabric softener. Close the lid, press and hold the Start/Pause button to resume the cycle.

FA UCET
Press to access an instant water stream. Use this feature to retreat clothes and other items right in the washer. You can also use this feature to manually add water to the machine as desired.
NOTE: The washer will drain at the beginning of the cycle if a large volume of water is detected to ensure the machine can correctly sense the load size.
NOTE: If the washer detects an out-of-balance condition it may pause and attempt and re-distribute the load. During this time the Sense and Wash status indicators will both briefly illuminate.
WARNING: Do not wash water-resistant or water repellant-type clothing. Failure to closely follow these instructions may result in an abnormal vibrating and out-of-balance condition that could result in physical injury, property damage, and/or appliance damage.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT CYCLE
A cycling guide for your washer can be found online at www.whirlpool.com. The document will help identify which cycle to choose for various load types as well as the default cycle options. For example, we recommend using the NORMAL cycle with Warm water for cotton, linens, and mixed-garment loads.
PRE-TREATING BEFORE A WASH CYCLE
- Press the Faucet button once to turn it on and press it again to turn it off.
- Faucet will automatically shut off after 10 minutes or when the max water level is reached.
- Water will automatically drain if the water level becomes too high. Water will also drain after 10 minutes if the lid is left open or 3 hours if the lid is left closed.
MORE WATER WHEN YOU WANT IT
AUTO-SENSING AND DEEP WATER
- The washer will adjust the water level to the optimal amount for a High-Efficiency wash of the detected load size.
- Press Deep Water to automatically add more water to your wash cycle.
- It is recommended to use the BULKY ITEMS cycle with the Deep Water option for loads where the maximum water level is desired.
- Expect longer cycle times due to extended fill duration when using the Deep Water option.
CLEANING WITH LESS WATER
The washer has been designed and optimized to provide a thorough cleaning using less water to conserve energy and resources.
As the washer dampens and moves the load, the level of the items will settle in the basket. This is normal and does not indicate that more items should be added.
IMPORTANT: You will not see a full basket of water as with older, less efficient washing machines. It is normal for some of the load to be above the waterline.
For detailed installation instruction and maintenance information, winter storage, and transportation tips, please see the Owner’s Manual included with your machine.
