comply with the basic warnings listed below. Failure to comply with these warnings could
result in serious personal injuries.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow these Important Safety Instructions:
PREVENT FIRE
Do not wash items that have been previously •
cleaned in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, cleaning solvents, kerosene, cooking oils,
waxes, etc. Do not store these items on or near
the washer. These substances give off vapors or
chemical reactions that could ignite or explode.
Do not put oily or greasy rags or clothing on top •
of the washer. These substances give off vapors
that could ignite the materials.
Do not add gasoline, cleaning solvents, or other •
fl ammable 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 washer, turn on all hot water faucets and let
the water fl ow from each for several minutes.
This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas.
Hydrogen gas is fl ammable; do not smoke or
use an open fl ame during this time.
Do not store or use gasoline or other fl ammable •
vapors or liquids in the vicinity of this or any
other appliance.
Failure to comply with these warnings could •
result in fi re, explosion, serious bodily injury and/
or damage to the rubber or plastic parts of the
washer.
PROTECT CHILDREN
Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. •
Close supervision of children is necessary when
the washer is used near children. As children
grow, teach them the proper, safe use of all appliances.
Destroy the carton, plastic bag and other pack-•
ing materials after the washer is unpacked. Children might use them for play. Cartons covered
with rugs, bedspreads or plastic sheets can
become airtight chambers.
Keep laundry products out of children’s reach. •
To prevent personal injury, observe all warnings
on product labels.
Before the washer is removed from service or •
discarded, remove the washer door to prevent
accidental entrapment.
Failure to comply with these warnings could •
result in serious personal injuries.

Normal Operating Sounds
You may or may not hear the following sounds
from your new washer:

hose to carry water from the washer to the
stand pipe of your home. You will hear water
fl owing into your stand pipe. This is a normal
part of the operation of the washer.
B. WATER VALVES/DISPENSER As water enters
the dispenser system, it is common to hear a
water fl owing sound. This normal sound will
vary slightly based on the water pressure in
your home.

humming and gurgling sounds as water is
pumped from the washer. Both of these sounds
are normal and indicate that your pump is
functioning correctly.
E. HIGH SPEED MOTOR A powerful motor is used
to drive the drum to high spin speeds to extract
water from your load. You will hear a sound

Operating Instructions
Operating Your Washer
BEFORE USING YOUR WASHER
Read these important instructions in this section
of the Use and Care Guide before operating your
washer.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fi re, electric shock or injury
to persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS in this Use and Care Guide
before operating your washer.
OPERATING YOUR WASHER
Sort laundry into loads that can be 1.
washed together.
Sort items by recommended cycle and water
temperature.
Separate white, light and colorfast items from
dark and non-colorfast items.
Separate items that shed lint from items that
attract lint. Casual, synthetic, knit, and corduroy items will pick up lint from towels, rugs,
and bedspreads.
Separate heavily soiled items from lightly
soiled items.
Separate lacy, sheer, loosely knit, or delicate
items from durable items.
Do not machine wash items containing fi berglass. Small particles of fi berglass left in the
drum may transfer to fabrics in other loads and
cause skin irritation or damage to fabrics.
2. Prepare items for washing.
Empty pockets.
Brush off lint and dirt. Shake out rugs and
beach towels.
Close zippers, fasten hooks, button buttons,
tie strings and sashes, and remove non-washable trims and ornaments.
Mend rips and tears to prevent further damage
during washing.
Turn knit items inside out to prevent pilling.
Place delicate and small items such as bras,
hosiery and baby socks in a mesh bag.

3. Pretreat stains and heavy soil.
See Stain Removal Guide in this guide or
Stain Guides in the LCD User Interface for
safe, successful stain removal instructions.
4. Add laundry load to washer.
Combine large and small items in a load.
Load large items fi rst. Large items should not
be more than half the total wash load.
Washing single items such as a sweater, towel
or jeans is ineffi cient and may cause an out-ofbalance load. Add 1 or 2 similar items to help
balance the load.
Wash a single heavy item such as a king-sized
comforter, bedspread or sleeping bag separately.
The washer can be fully loaded, but the items
should not be tightly packed. The door should
close easily.

5. Add laundry products to the dispenser.
For best results
Use a low-sudsing, high effi ciency
detergent to prevent oversudsing in front
load washers. Look for this symbol on
the detergent label:
Detergent, liquid chlorine bleach and liquid
fabric softener will be dispensed at the proper
times in the cycle. To unlatch the dispenser
drawer push on the dispenser drawer latch
indicator. To close and latch the dispenser
drawer push the drawer in until you hear a
slight click with the drawer face fl ush to the
panel.
IMPORTANT
Open and close the dispenser drawer slowly.
Closing the drawer too quickly could result in
early dispensing of the bleach or fabric softener.
Use the cap or scoop provided by the detergent manufacturer to measure the amount
recommended. Detergent dosage may need to
be adjusted for water temperature, water hardness, load size and soil level.
Insert liquid cup when
using liquid detergent.
NOTE
From time to time you may see water in the
“Main Wash -liquid only”, “Pre-Wash”, “Liquid
Bleach” and “Fabric Softener” chambers. This
is part of the normal operation of the washer.
Liquid Detergent
Add the recommended amount of a high effi ciency liquid detergent to the “Main Wash
- liquid only” cup. Do not exceed the MAX
fi ll line. Liquid detergent can also be added
directly to the “Main Wash” chamber when not
using the “Pre-Wash” option.
Powder Detergent
To use a high effi ciency powder detergent, remove the “Main Wash - liquid only” cup and
add the powder directly to the “Main Wash”
detergent chamber.
IMPORTANT
Save the liquid cup insert for future use. DO NOT
discard it while you are using powder detergent.
Remove liquid cup when using
powder detergent! DO NOT
pour powder detergent into
liquid cup. It will not dis-
pense correctly!
