Washer Safety

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey aft safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or

**WARNING." These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't irnmediately follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't

follow instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injuryto persons when using the washer, follow basic precautions,

including the following:

[] Read all instructions before using the washer. [] Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned

in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, other flammable, or explosive

substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

[] Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other

flammable, or explosive substances to the wash water. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or

explode.

[] Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be

produced in a hot water system that has not been used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS

EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, before using the washing

machine, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release

any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

State of California Proposition 65 Warnings: WARNING: This product contains one or more chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer.

WARNING: This product contains one or more chemicals known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.

What's New Under The Lid?

Cleaning with Less Water

Traditional agitator-style

washer

The most striking difference in your new washer is the low-water washplate wash system. The washer automatically adjusts the water level to the load size--no water level selector

is needed.

Low-water washer

Automatic Load Size Sensing

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 before water is added. You will find a step-by-step description in the "Cycle Status Lights" section.

You will hear the motor turn the basket in short pulses to thoroughly wet the load. This low-water wash method uses less water and energy compared to a traditional agitator-style washer.

Choosing the Right Detergent

Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package will be marked "HE" or "High Efficiency." 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.

For best performance, it is recommended to load garments in loose heaps evenly around the washplate.

Use only High Efficiency (HE) detergent.

Concentrated Cleaning

Low-water cleaning 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 and noises that are different from those of your previous washer. For example, you may hear a clicking and hum 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 washplate 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.

As the washer dampens and moves the load, the level of the

garments will settle in the basket. This is normal, and does not indicate that more garments 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 water line.

O TEMPERATURE

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.

• On some models and cycles, warm and hot water may be cooler than your previous washer.

• Even in a cool water wash, some warm water may be added to the washer to maintain a minimum temperature.

CYCLE OPTIONS The following options may be added to most cycles.

See "Cycle Guide" for additional details.

EXTRA RINSE This option can be used to automatically add a second rinse to most cycles.

FABRIC SOFTENER This option must be set to "On" if using fabric softener

during a cycle. PRO-CLEAN option

This option provides enhanced cleaning action for tough stains. It will add additional agitation and soak time to the

cycle.

SENSING

CYCLESTATUS

Sensing Wash Rinse Spin Done

When the START/PAUSE button is pressed, the washer will first perform a self-test on the lid lock mechanism. You will

hear a click, the basket will make a slight turn, and the lid will unlock briefly before locking again.

Once the lid has locked the second time, the washer will use short, slow spins to estimate the load size. These sensing

spins may take 2 to 3 minutes before water is added to the

load and you may hear the hum of these spins. If the sensing light is on, the washer is working properly. You will hear

the motor turn the basket in short pulses to thoroughly wet the load. The washer will then move the load briefly, pause

to allow water to soak in to the load, and resume adding water. This process may repeat until the correct amount of

water has been added for the load. You may also hear water flowing through the dispenser, adding detergent to the load.

NOTE: Avoid opening lid during sensing. The sensing

process will start over when the washer is restarted. The

sensing light may also come on during the Soak and Wash

portions of the cycle. This is normal.

START/PAUSE BUTTON

Press to start the selected cycle; press again to pause the

cycle and unlock the lid.

NOTE: if the washer is spinning, it may take several minutes to unlock the lid. Press and hold 3 seconds

Using Your Washer

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.

1, Sort and prepare your laundry

• Empty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small

object can pass under the washplate and become trapped, causing unexpected sounds.

• Sort items by recommended cycle, water temperature, and colorfastness.

• Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled items.

• Separate delicate items from sturdy fabrics.

• Do not dry garments if stains remain after washing, because

heat can set stains into fabric.

• Treat stains promptly.

• Close zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings and sashes, and remove non-washable trim and ornaments.

• Mend rips and tears to avoid further damage to items during washing.

Helpful Tips:

• When washing water-proof or water-resistant items, load

evenly. See "Cycle Guide" for tips and more information on using the Bulky cycle.

• Use mesh garment bags to help avoid tangling when washing delicate or small items.

• Turn knits inside out to avoid pilling. Separate lint-takers from lint-givers. Synthetics, knits, and corduroy fabrics will pick up lint from towels, rugs, and chenille fabrics.

NOTE: Always read and follow fabric care label instructions to avoid damage to your garments.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

2. Add laundry products

Add a measured amount of HE

detergent or single-dose laundry packet 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. iMPORTANT: Use only High Efficiency detergents. The

package will be marked "HE" or "High Efficiency." 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.

NOTE: Follow the manufacturer's instructions to determine

the amount of laundry products to use.

WASHER CARE

Recommendations to Help Keep Your Washer Clean and Performing at its Best

1. Always use High Efficiency (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 and hot wash water settings 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 lid open between uses to help dry out the washer and prevent the buildup of odor-

causing residue.

Cleaning Your Top Loading Washer Read these instructions completely before beginning the

routine cleaning processes recommended below. This Washer Maintenance Procedure should be performed,

at a minimum, once per month or every 30 wash cycles, whichever occurs sooner, to control the rate at which soils

and detergent may otherwise accumulate in your washer. Cleaning the inside of the Washer

To keep your washer odor-free, follow the usage instructions provided above, and use this recommended monthly

Troubleshooting

First try the solutions suggested here or visit our website to possibly avoid the cost of a service call.

If you experience Possible Causes Solution

Check the following for proper installation or

see "Using Your Washer" section.

Clicking or metallic noises

Gurgling or humming

Feet may not be in contact with the Front and rear feet must be in firm contact with floor, and

floor and locked, washer must be level to operate properly. Washer may not be level.

Load could be unbalanced.

Objects caught in washer drain system.

Washer may be draining water.

Load sensing may be occurring.Humming

Check floor for flexing or sagging. If flooring is uneven, a 3/4" (19 mm) piece of plywood under your washer will reduce sound.

See "Level the Washer" in Installation Instructions. Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the washplate.

Adding wet items to washer or adding more water to basket could unbalance washer.

Wash smaller loads to reduce imbalance. Do not tightly pack. Avoid washing single items.

Use Bulky cycle for oversized, non-absorbent items such as jackets and small comforters.

See "Cycle Guide" and "Using Your Washer" in this Use and Care Guide.

Empty pockets before washing. Loose items such as coins could fall between basket and tub or may block pump.

It may be necessaw to call for service to remove items. It is normal to hear metal items on clothing such as metal snaps,

buckles, or zippers touch against the stainless steel basket. It is normal to hear the pump making a continuous humming

sound with periodic gurgling or surging as final amounts of water are removed during the Drain & Spin cycles.

You may hear the hum of the sensing spins after you have started the washer. This is normal.

Check the following for Washer not level. proper installation:

Fill hoses not attached tightly. Fill hose washers.

Drain hose connection.

Check household plumbing for leaks or clogged sink or drain.

Washer not loaded as recommended.

Not enough water in washer

Washer won't run or fill, washer stops working

or wash light remains on (indicating that the

washer was unable to fill appropriately)

Load not completely covered in water.

Check for proper water supply.

Water may splash off basket if washer is not level. Check that load is not unbalanced or tightly packed.

Tighten fill-hose connection. Make sure all four fill hose flat washers are properly seated.

Pull drain hose from washer cabinet and properly secure it to drainpipe or laundw tub.

Do not place tape over drain opening. Water can back up out of a clogged sink or drainpipe. Check all

household plumbing for leaks (laundw tubs, drain pipe, water pipes, and faucets.)

Improper loading can cause basket to be out of alignment and cause water to splash off tub. See "Using Your Washer"

for loading instructions.

This is normal operation for an HE low-water washer. The load will not be completely underwater. The washer senses load sizes

and adds correct amount of water for optimal cleaning. See "What's New Under the Lid."

IMPORTANT: Do not add more water to washer. The added water lifts the load off the washplate, resulting in less cleaning.

Both hoses must be attached and have water flowing to inlet valve.

Both hot and cold water faucets must be turned on. Check that inlet valve screens have not become clogged. Check for any kinks in inlet hoses, which can restrict water flow.

Empty pockets and use garment bags for small items.

Cycles with lower spin speeds remove less water than cycles with high spin speeds. Use the recommended cycle/spin speed for your garment. To remove extra water in the load, select Drain & Spin. Load may need to be rearranged to allow even

distribution of the load in the basket. Tightly packed or unbalanced loads may not allow the washer

to spin correctly, leaving the load wetter than normal. Evenly arrange the wet load for balanced spinning. Select the Drain & Spin cycle to remove excess water. See "Using Your Washer" for

loading recommendations.

Use only HE detergent. Always measure and follow detergent directions for your load. To remove extra suds, select RINSE &

SPIN. Do not add detergent. The high spin speeds combined with airflow during the final spin

can cause items near the top of the load to develop dry spots during the final spin. This is normal.

Check that hot and cold inlet hoses are not reversed. Both hoses must be attached to both washer and faucet, and

have both hot and cold water flowing to inlet valve. Check that inlet valve screens are not clogged.

Remove any kinks in hoses. ENERGY STAR_'_*qualified washers use cooler wash and rinse

water temperatures than traditional top-load washers. This includes cooler hot and warm washes.

Check that hot and cold inlet hoses are not reversed. Both hoses must be attached and have water flowing to the

inlet valve. Both hot and cold water faucets must be on. Inlet valve screens on washer may be clogged. Remove any kinks in the inlet hose.

The suds from too much detergent can keep washer from operating correctly.

Use only HE detergent. Be sure to measure correctly. Always measure detergent and follow detergent directions based

on load size and soil level. The washer is less efficient at rinsing when load is tightly packed.

Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the washplate. Use cycle designed for the fabrics being washed.

Add only 1 or 2 additional garments after washer has started. Choose a water level that matches the load being washed.

Add an Extra Rinse to the selected cycle.

See "Using Your Washer" section. Select a cycle with a slower wash action and spin speed; however,

items will be wetter than those using a higher speed spin. See the "Cycle Guide" to match your load with the best cycle.

Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the washplate. Reduce tangling by mixing types of load items. Use the

recommended cycle for the type of garments being washed. Washer senses load size and adds correct amount of water.

This is normal and necessary for clothes to move. It is normal for the wash load to be not completely covered in water. Added water lifts the laundry off the washplate, resulting in less effective cleaning.

Quoi de neuf sous le couvercle?

Nettoyer avec moins d'eau

Laveuse traditionnelle de

type agitateur

La nouveaut6 la plus flagrante de cette nouvelle laveuse est son systeme de lavage a faible consommation d'eau avec plateau de lavage. La laveuse ajuste automatiquement le niveau d'eau en fonction de la taille de la charge - nul besoin de s61ecteur de

niveau d'eau.

Laveuse & faible

consommation d'eau

D6tection automatique

de taille de charge

Une fois que I'on d6marre le programme, le couvercle se verrouille et la laveuse entame un processus de d6tection pour d6terminer le niveau d'eau appropri6 a la charge. Cela peut prendre plusieurs minutes avant que I'eau ne soit ajout6e. Voir la description pas-a-pas dans la section "T6moins lumineux de programme".

Vous entendrez le moteur faire tourner le panier par de brefs mouvements d'impulsion pour bien imbiber la charge. Cette m6thode de lavage avec faible consommation d'eau utilise moins d'eau et d'6nergie qu'une laveuse traditionnelle de type agitateur.

Choix du d6tergent appropri6

Utiliser uniquement des d6tergents Haute efficacit6. Uemballage portera la mention "HE" ou "High Efficiency" (haute efficacit6). Un lavage avec faible consommation d'eau produit un exces de mousse avec un d6tergent non HE ordinaire. II est probable que I'utilisation d'un d6tergent ordinaire prolongera la dur6e des programmes et r6duira la performance de ringage. Ceci peut aussi entrainer des d6faillances des composants et une moisissure perceptible. Les d6tergents HE sont congus pour produire la quantit6 de mousse ad6quate pour le meilleur rendement. Suivre les recommandations du fabricant pour d6terminer la quantit6 de d6tergent a utiliser.

Pour un meilleur rendement, il est recommand6 de d6poser les v6tements en vrac et de fagon uniforme le long du plateau de lavage.

A mesure que la laveuse imbibe et d6place la charge, les

v6tements se tassent dans le panier. Ceci est normal et ne signifie pas que I'on doive rajouter des v6tements.

IMPORTANT : Vous ne verrez pas de panier de laveuse rempli d'eau, comme avec votre pr6c6dente laveuse de type agitateur. II est normal qu'une partie de la charge d6passe

du niveau d'eau.

Utiliser uniquement un detergent Haute efficacite (HE).

Nettoyage concentr6

Le systeme de lavage & faible consommation d'eau signifie un lavage concentr6. Plut6t que de diluer du d6tergent comme dans une laveuse de type agitateur, cette laveuse libere le d6tergent directement sur les endroits souill6s.

Sons normaux pr6visibles

Au cours des diff6rents stades du programme de lavage, vous entendrez peut-6tre des bruits que votre laveuse pr6c6dente ne produisait pas. Par exemple, vous entendrez peut-6tre un cliquetis au d6but du programme Iorsque le systeme de verrouillage du couvercle effectue un test automatique. On

entendra diff6rents bourdonnements et bruits de frottements rythmiques a mesure que le plateau de lavage d6place la

charge. Parfois, il est possible que la laveuse soit completement silencieuse, Iorsqu'elle d6termine le niveau d'eau ad6quat ou qu'elle laisse tremper les v6tements.

Une fois que le couvercle a _t_ verrouill_ une seconde fois,

la laveuse essore lentement la charge s_che pour estimer la taille de la charge. Ces essorages de d_tection peuvent

prendre 2 a 3 minutes avant que I'eau ne soit ajout_e a la

charge et il est possible que ces essorages _mettent un bruit de ronronnement. Si le t_moin de d_tection est allum_, alors

la laveuse fonctionne correctement. On entend le moteur qui fait tourner le panier par de de courtes impulsions pour mouiller I'int_gralit_ de la charge. La laveuse d_place ensuite

brievement la charge, fait une pause pour permettre a I'eau de tremper la charge, et continue a ajouter de I'eau. Ce

processus peut se r_p_ter jusqu'& ce que la quantit_ d'eau correcte ait ete ajout_e a la charge. II est aussi possible que

I'on entende de I'eau couler darts le distributeur, ajoutant le d_tergent & la charge.
