WHAT’S NEW UNDER THE LID?
Cleaning with Less Water
Impeller
Traditional agitator-style
washing machine
The most striking difference in your new washer is the
low-water impeller wash system. The washer automatically
adjusts the water level to the load size—no water level selector
is needed.
Recommended
maximum
load height
When loading the washer with dirty laundry, ll it evenly
around the basket wall. For best results, ll no higher than the
recommended maximum load height. Once you start the cycle,
the lid will lock, and the washer will begin the sensing process
to determine the correct water level for the load. This may take
several minutes.
Washer with low-water
impeller wash system
The impeller moves the load through the water while using
less water and energy compared to a traditional agitator-style
washer.
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 regular non-HE detergent. Using
regular detergent will likely result in longer cycle times and
reduced rinsing performance. It may also result in component
failures and noticeable mold or mildew. HE detergents are made
to produce the right amount of suds for the best performance.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to determine the amount
of detergent to use.
Use only High Efciency (HE) detergent.
Water is added to the load while the basket turns slowly. As the
washer dampens and moves the load, the level of clothes will
settle in the basket. This is normal, and does not indicate that
more clothes should be added.
IMPORTANT: You will not see a washer basket full of water
like with your past agitator-style washer.
H2Low™ Concentrated Cleaning
The H2Low low-water cleaning system means concentrated
cleaning. Rather than diluting detergent as done in an
agitator-style washer, this washer delivers the detergent
directly to the soils.
Normal Sounds You Can Expect
At different stages of the wash cycle, you may hear sounds that
are different from those of your previous washer. For example,
you may hear a clicking at the beginning of the cycle, as the
lid lock goes through a self-test. There will be different kinds of
humming and whirring sounds as the impeller moves the load.
And sometimes, you may hear nothing at all, as the washer
determines the correct water level for your load or allows time
for clothes to soak.

CYCLE OPTIONS
When you select a cycle, its default settings will light up.
SOIL LEVEL
Soil level (wash time) is preset for each wash cycle.
As you press the Soil Level pad, the cycle time (minutes)
will increase or decrease in the Estimated Time Remaining
display and a different wash time will appear.
For most loads, use the soil level that is preset with the
cycle you have chosen. For heavily soiled and sturdy
fabrics, press Soil Level to select more wash time, if
needed. For lightly soiled and delicate fabrics, press
Soil Level to select less wash time, if needed. A lower
soil level setting will help reduce tangling and wrinkling.
SPIN SPEED
This washer automatically selects the spin speed
based on the cycle selected. The preset speeds can be
changed. Not all spin speeds are available with all cycles.
• Faster spin speeds mean shorter dry times, but may
increase wrinkling in your load.
• Slower spin speeds mean less wrinkling, but will leave
your load more damp.

TEMP
Temperature Control senses and maintains uniform
water temperatures by regulating incoming hot and
cold water.
Select a wash temperature based on the type of fabric
and soils being washed. For best results and following the
garment label instructions, use the warmest wash water
safe for your fabric.
• Warm and hot water will be cooler than what your
previous washer provided.
• Even for cold wash settings, some warm water may
be added to the washer to maintain a minimum
temperature.
You may also add or remove options for each cycle.
Note that not all options can be used with all cycles,
and some are preset to work with certain cycles.
DEEP CLEAN
This option provides enhanced cleaning action for tough
stains. It will add additional time to the cycle. Deep Clean
should be started on a dry load only and must be selected
before the washer has started to ll.
EXTRA RINSE
This option can be used to automatically add a second
rinse to most cycles.
ECOBOOST
The EcoBoost option allows you to increase your energy
savings on your wash cycles. When this option is used,
the wash cycle will use cooler wash water than the
selected cycle and may increase the spin speed for
faster drying.

USING YOUR WASHER
1. Sort and prepare your laundry
• Empty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small object
can pass under the impeller and become trapped, causing
unexpected sounds.
• Sort items by recommended cycle, water temperature,
and colorfastness.
• Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled.
• Separate delicate items from sturdy fabrics.
• Do not dry garments if stains remain after washing; heat can
set stains into fabric.
• Treat stains promptly.
• Close zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings and sashes.
Remove non-washable trim and ornaments.
• Mend rips and tears to prevent further damage to items
during washing.
2. Load laundry into washer
Recommended
maximum
load height
Load garments in loose heaps evenly around basket wall.
For best results, do not load higher than the recommended
maximum load height. Try mixing different sized items to
reduce tangling.
IMPORTANT: Do not overload washer. Items need to move
freely. Overloading can lead to poor cleaning performance, and
may increase wrinkling and tangling.
Helpful Tips:
• When washing water-proof or water-resistant items, load
evenly. See “Cycle Guide” for tips and more information on
using the Bulky Items cycle.
• Use mesh bags to help prevent tangling when washing
delicate or small items.
• 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.
Always read and follow fabric care labels instructions to
avoid damage to your garments.

Using Laundry Product Dispensers
3. Add HE detergent to dispenser
Detergent dispenser
Add a measured amount of HE liquid
detergent into detergent dispenser.
IMPORTANT: Use only High Efciency detergents. The package
will be marked “HE” or “High Efciency.” Low-water washing
creates excessive sudsing with a regular non-HE detergent.
Using regular detergent will likely result in longer cycle times and
reduced rinsing performance. It may also result in component
failures and noticeable mold or mildew. HE detergents are made
to produce the right amount of suds for the best performance.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to determine the amount
of detergent to use.
NOTE: If using an Oxi laundry boost product, add to the
detergent dispenser.
HELPFUL TIP: See “Washer Maintenance” for information on
recommended method of cleaning washer dispensers.
5. Add fabric softener to dispenser
Fabric softener dispenser
Pour a measured amount of liquid
fabric softener into dispenser, always
follow manufacturer’s directions for correct amount of
fabric softener based on your load size. Then select
Fabric Softener option.
IMPORTANT: Fabric Softener option must be selected
to ensure proper distribution at correct time in cycle.
Do not overll or dilute. Overlling dispenser will cause
fabric softener to immediately dispense into washer.
If Extra Rinse option is selected, fabric softener will be
dispensed in the last rinse.
NOTE: Do not use liquid fabric softener dispenser balls in
this washer. They will not dispense correctly.
