LCD TIME/STATUS DISPLAY The display shows the time required for the cycle to complete. Factors such as load size and water pressure may affect the time shown in the display. Tightly packed loads, unbalanced loads, or excessive suds may cause the washer to adjust the cycle time as well.

Touch and hold the START/PAUSE button to start the cycle again.

USING YOUR WASHER

WARNING

Fire Hazard

Never place items in the washer that are dampened 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.

*NOTE: Not all cycles, settings or options are available with all models.

LOADING RECOMMENDATION

For best performance, it is recommended to load items by dropping them in loose heaps evenly around the washplate and agitator. Do not lay items length-wise around the swashplate or agitator.
RINSING BEFORE RUNNING A WASH CYCLE

Water Faucet Operation
■ Press the faucet button once to turn it on and press it again to turn it off.
■ The 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 or if 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 touch the LOAD & GO button to manually dispense a dose of detergent.

Fabric Brush

Turn brush from the body to open.
Add liquid laundry detergent.
Turn to close.
To dispense detergent from fabric brush push button.

MORE WATER WHEN YOU WANT IT

Auto-Sensing & Deep Water Wash

The washer will adjust the water level to the optimal amount for a High-Efficiency wash of the detected load size.
Touch “DEEP WATER” to add more water to the wash load.
There are four levels of deepwater “Auto”, “Medium”, “High”, “Max Fill”.
Not all levels are available on all cycles.
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 washer basket full of water as with your past agitator-style washer. It is normal for some of the load to be above the waterline.

USING THE DISPENSER

Load & GoTM feature will default On for each cycle unless disabled.
Touch the LOAD & GO button to view detergent dispensing options.
Hold the LOAD & GO button on the control panel to choose a detergent concentration between 2X and 10X. Hold for 3 seconds.
Pull the drawer completely out for easy refilling.

CYCLE GUIDE

Your Whirlpool® washer has a unique user interface to help you select the best cycle you need for your load. The “What to Wash”, “How to Wash” layout guides you to the optimal cycle in two easy steps: First, determine what items are in the load that you are trying to wash. Use that to guide your “What to Wash” selection. Then determine how you want the washer to wash them and select the appropriate “How to Wash” selection. See the chart below for more details.

For best fabric care, choose the cycle that best fits the load being washed.
