WASHER SAFETY

WHAT’S NEW UNDER THE LID?

Your new washer will operate differently than your past agitator-style washer.

Lid Lock

To allow for higher spin speeds, the lid will lock and the Lid Locked light will turn on. When this light is lit, the lid is locked and cannot be opened. When this light is blinking, the washer is paused. When this light is off, the lid can be opened. After a cycle is started, water will enter washer briefly, pause, and then lock. If you need to open the lid to add

a garment after this point, you must press START/ PAUSE/UNLOCK and wait for the lid to unlock. The lid will only unlock after washer movement has stopped. Depending on when in the cycle you try to pause, it may take several seconds to several minutes for the lid to unlock. Press START/PAUSE/ UNLOCK to resume the cycle.

Sounds

At different stages of the wash cycle, you may hear sounds and pauses 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 agitator tests for load balance or moves the load. And, sometimes, you may hear nothing at all as the washer allows time for clothes to soak.

Sensing

This washer will perform a series of spins to check for load balance. During this time, a series of clicks and a whirring noise signal that sensing technology is determining if there is an off-balance load.

IMPORTANT:

Spray Rinse

Select cycles default to a spray rinse. During these cycles, you will hear water enter the washer as the tub spins, allowing the rinse water to penetrate clothes. Check the “Cycle Guide” for details.

•Washer will not operate if the lid is open.

•Water will enter washer briefly, pause, and then lock before sensing process begins. The sensing process may take 2-3 minutes before steady flow of main wash water.

•Fabric Softener Added option must be selected to ensure fabric softener dispenses at the correct time.

CONTROL PANEL AND FEATURES

6 5

Not all features and options are available on all models.

Appearance may vary.

1WATER LEVEL

Select the setting most suitable for your load. Small will add a low amount of water for smaller loads and Super will add the most amount of water for large or bulky loads. Items need to move freely. Tightly packing can lead to poor cleaning performance, and may increase wrinkling and tangling.

2WASH TEMPERATURE

Wash Temperature 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.

4WASH CYCLE KNOB

Use the Wash Cycle knob to select available cycles on your washer. Turn the knob to select a cycle for your laundry load. See “Cycle Guide” for detailed descriptions of cycles.

5START/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 for 3 seconds to cancel a cycle.

6CYCLE STATUS LIGHTS

•Warm and hot water will be cooler than what your previous washer provided.

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

3OPTIONS

The following options may be added to most cycles.

ONE RINSE

This option is used to limit a cycle to one rinse.

2ND RINSE

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

FABRIC SOFTENER ADDED – ONE RINSE

This option must be selected if using fabric softener during a cycle. It ensures that fabric softener is added at the correct time in the rinse for even distribution.

FABRIC SOFTENER ADDED – 2ND RINSE

This option turns on both the Fabric Softener and the 2nd Rinse options.

The Cycle Status Lights show the progress of a cycle. At each stage of the process, you may notice sounds or pauses that are different from traditional washers.

FILL

When the START/PAUSE button is pressed, the water will enter washer briefly, pause, and then lock before sensing process begins. The washer will use spins to check for load balance. The sensing process may take 2-3 minutes before steady flow of main wash water. You may hear the hum of the spins before filling. This is normal.

WASH

You will hear the agitator moving the load. The motor sounds may change at different stages in the cycle. The wash time is determined by the selected soil level.

RINSE

You will hear sounds similar to the wash cycle as the washer rinses and moves the load. You may hear the motor turning on briefly (short hum) to move the basket while filling. Fabric softener will be added if the Fabric

Softener Added option was selected.

Some cycles use spray rinsing. After draining and spinning out wash water, the washer will continue to spin and spray in rinse water for the entire rinse time.

4

SPIN

The washer spins the load at increasing speeds for proper water removal, based on the selected cycle and spin speed.

DONE

Once the cycle is complete, this light will come on. Remove the load promptly for best results.

LID LOCKED

To allow for higher spin speeds, the lid will lock and the Lid Locked light will turn on. When this light is lit, the lid is locked and cannot be opened.

When this light is blinking, the washer is paused. When this light is off, the lid can be opened.

If you need to open the lid, press START/PAUSE. The lid will unlock once the washer movement has stopped. This may take several minutes if the load was spinning at high speed. Press START/PAUSE again to resume the cycle.
