WHAT’S NEW UNDER THE LID?
Cleaning with Less Water
Washplate
Washplate
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.
Washer with low-water
washplate wash system
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 nd a step-by-step description in the “Cycle
Status Lights” section.
Initially the basket will start to spin prior to adding water; this is
part of the sensing process and is normal. This low-water wash
method uses 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.
For best performance, it is recommended to load items in loose
heaps evenly around the washplate.
Use only High Efficiency (HE) detergent.
Improved 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. This low
water wash also allows the clothing to move in a more effective
way to remove 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 as the basket is slowing down
to a stop. 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
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 water line.

CYCLE STATUS LIGHTS
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/Unlock Lid button is pressed,
the washer will rst 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 briey 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, then 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 briey, 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
owing 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.
WASH
You will hear the motor and washplate moving the load.
Unlike traditional washers, the load is not covered with water.
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. The
motor sounds may change at different stages in the cycle.
The wash time is determined by the selected soil level.

START/PAUSE/UNLOCK LID 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
to Cancel a cycle.
4
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 briey (short hum) to move the basket while lling. Fabric
softener will be added if the Fabric Softener option was
selected. Some cycles will use a spray rinse.
FINAL SPIN
The washer spins the load at increasing speeds for proper
water removal, based on the selected cycle and spin speed.
CYCLE COMPLETE
Once the cycle is complete, this light will come on. Remove
the load promptly for best results.
LID LOCKED
To allow for proper load sensing and
spinning, the lid will lock and the Lid
Locked light will turn on. This light
indicates that the lid is locked and
cannot be opened.
If you need to open the lid, press
START/Pause/Unlock Lid. 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/Unlock Lid again to
resume the cycle. Avoid opening the lid
during sensing. The sensing process
will start over when the washer is restarted.

USING YOUR WASHER
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.
■ Separate delicate items from sturdy fabrics.
■ Do not dry items 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 Items 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 items.
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 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.
NOTE: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to determine
the amount of laundry products to use.

replacement on the label with a permanent marker.
NOTE: This washer does not include inlet hoses. See the
Installation Instructions for more information.
WASHER CARE
Recommendations to Help Keep Your Washer Clean
and Performing at its Best
1. Always use High Efciency (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 cleaning
procedure:
Clean Washer Cycle

Washer cycle has stopped, run a RINSE & SPIN cycle to
rinse cleaner from washer.
Description of Clean Washer Cycle Operation:
1. This cycle will ll to a water level higher than in normal
wash cycles to provide rinsing at a level above the water
line for normal wash cycle.
2. During this cycle, there will be some agitation and
spinning to increase the removal of soils.
After this cycle is complete, leave the lid open to allow
for better ventilation and drying of the washer interior.
Cleaning the Dispensers
After a period of using your washer, you may nd some
residue buildup in the washer’s dispensers. To remove
residue from the dispensers, wipe them with a damp cloth
and towel dry. Do not attempt to remove the dispensers or
trim for cleaning. The dispensers and trim are not removable.
If your model has a dispenser drawer, however, remove the
drawer and clean it before or after you run the Clean Washer
cycle. Use an all-purpose surface cleaner, if needed.
Cleaning the Outside of the Washer
Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe away any spills.
Use only mild soaps or cleaners when cleaning external
washer surfaces.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging the washer’s nish, do not
use abrasive products.
