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.

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.

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.
