WASHERSAFETY
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 all 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 immediately
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 injury to 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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
[] Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close
supervision of children is necessary when the washer is used
near children.
[] Before the washer is removed from service or discarded,
remove the door or lid.
[] Do not reach into the washer if the drum, tub or agitator is
moving.
[] Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to
the weather.
[] Do not tamper with controls. [] Do not repair or replace any part of the washer or attempt any
servicing unless specifically recommended in this manual or in
published user-repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.
[] See "Electrical Requirements" for grounding instructions.

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.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to
persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before operating this appliance.
The following is a guide to using your washer. Please refer to specific sections of this manual for more detailed information.
Do not store laundry products on the top surface of this washer. Vibration is normal during operation.
Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package for this type of detergent will be marked "HE" or "High Efficiency." This wash system, along with less water, will create too much sudsing with a regular non-HE detergent. Using regular detergent will likely result in washer errors, longer cycle times, and reduced rinsing performance. It may also result in component failures and noticeable mold or mildew odors. 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 HE detergent to use.

Load evenly.
Wash small items, such as infant socks, in mesh garment
bags. It is recommended that more than one garment bag be used, and that each garment bag be filled with equal
amounts of material.
When unloading garments, occasionally check under the
rubber bellows at the front of the tub for small items.
2.
Close the washer door by pushing it firmly until the lock clicks. The washer door will remain locked during the wash cycle.
3.
Open the dispenser drawer and add laundry products to the detergent or fabric softener compartments. Close drawer slowly to avoid spills. See "Using the Dispenser."

NOTES:
Use only HE detergents and follow label instructions. Do not add detergent to the Pre Wash compartment
unless you have selected the Pre Wash option. If you have detergent in both the Pre Wash and Main Wash compartments, and have not selected a Pre Wash option, the washer could oversuds. Suds could spill onto the
floor.
If you select the Pre Wash option, use powdered HE detergent in the Main Wash compartment. If you use liquid HE detergent in the Main Wash compartment, it will dispense immediately.
Close the detergent drawer securely. IMPORTANT: To avoid a water spill, do not open the
detergent drawer while the machine is operating.
4=
Turn on the washer by selecting POWER.
5.
Select one of the cycles by turning the cycle selector. The preset settings provide the recommended fabric care for the selected cycle. See "Cycles."
6.
Select the desired options. Not all options are available with all cycles. See "Cycles."
7.

once.
To fill dispenser compartments
NOTE: Always use the detergent dispenser, and do not put
detergent directly onto clothes in the washer.
1. Pull out the dispenser drawer.
2. Add the desired laundry product to the proper compartment.
3. Push in the dispenser drawer slowly and completely (to avoid
spills).
C
Your new washer has a dispenser drawer with three separate compartments for your laundry products--two are for detergent, and one is for liquid fabric softener. Laundry products are diluted and dispensed automatically at the proper time during the wash cycle, making it unnecessary for you to return to the washer during the cycle to add them.
It is normal for small amounts of water to remain in the dispensers when the wash cycle is complete.
Do not put laundry additives directly into the wash tub. Always use the proper dispensers when adding laundry products.
Choosing the Right Detergent
Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package for this type of detergent will be marked "HE" or "High Efficiency." This wash system, along with less water, will create too much sudsing with a regular non-HE detergent. Using regular detergent will likely result in washer errors, longer cycle times, reduced rinsing performance, and may result in component failures and noticeable mold or mildew odors. 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 HE detergent to use.
