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 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.

Selecting the proper location for your washer improves performance and minimizes noise and possible washer "walk."

Your washer can be installed under a custom counter, or in a basement, laundry room, closet, or recessed area. See "Drain

System." Companion appliance location requirements should also be

considered. Proper installation is your responsibility. You will need

• A water heater set to deliver 120°F (49°C) water to the washer.

• A grounded electrical outlet located within 6 ft. (1.8 m) of where the power cord is attached to the back of the washer. See "Electrical Requirements."

• Hot and cold water faucets located within 4 ft. (1.2 m) of the hot and cold water fill valves, and water pressure of 20-100 psi (137.9-689.6 kPa).

• A level floor with a maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under entire washer. Installing the washer on soft floor surfaces, such as

carpets or surfaces with foam backing, is not recommended.

• A sturdy and solid floor to support the washer with a total weight (water and load) of 400 Ibs. (180 kg).

Do not operate your washer in temperatures below 32°F (0°C). Some water can remain in the washer and can cause damage in low temperatures.

Installation clearances

• The location must be large enough to allow the washer door to be fully opened.

Additional spacing should be considered for ease of installation and servicing. The door opens more than 90 °,

and it is not reversible. Additional clearances might be required for wall, door, and

floor moldings. Additional spacing of 1" (25 mm) on all sides of the washer

is recommended to reduce noise transfer. Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.

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.

A 120 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15- or 20-amp, fused electrical supply is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is

recommended. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.

This washer is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3 prong grounding plug.

To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating, 3 prong, grounding-type outlet, grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances. If a mating

outlet is not available, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have the properly grounded outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the

ground path is adequate. Do not ground to a gas pipe. Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure the

washer is properly grounded.

• Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

For a grounded, cord=connected washer:

This washer must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electrical shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This washer is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The

plug must be plugged intoan appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local

codes and ordinances.

WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment=

grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in

doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance - if it will

not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified

electrician.

For a permanently connected washer: This washer must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment grounding

conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on

the appliance.

INSTALLATIONINSTRUCTIONS

Insert new flat washers (supplied) into each end of the inlet hoses. Firmly seat the washers inthe couplings.

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install washer. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

IMPORTANT: Position the washer so that the rear of the washer is

within approximately 3 ft. (900 mm) of its final location. There are 4 transport bolts in the rear panel of the washer that

support the suspension system during transportation. These bolts also retain the power cord inside the washer until the bolts are

removed.

On the back of the washer, loosen the 4 transport bolts using a 13 mm wrench.

Once the bolt is loose, move it to the center of the hole and completely pull out the bolt, including the plastic spacer

Use only HE High Efficiency detergenL

FEATURESANDBENEFITS

Your new front-loading high efficiency washer, was designed to conserve resources and lower your water and energy bills. The washer is designed to determine and then provide the amount of

water needed for the best performance. The time of operation may be greater for this new system than for a conventional

washer.

Electronic Controls

Flexible electronic controls are easy to use whether you are a beginner or an expert.

Auto Water Level

Adjusting to the size of the load, this feature allows the washer to use the minimal amount of water needed to clean and rinse the

clothes. With a low water level, you can obtain the same results. Because only the required amount of water is used, the washer saves energy, too. You can obtain the same washing results for small and large load sizes.

Larger Load Size

Since there is no agitator, you can wash larger, bulkier items such as an average size sleeping bag. You are also able to wash more clothes at one time, which means fewer loads. You can wash a pillow or a large stuffed teddy bear.

Suspension System

To reduce washer "walk" and "off-balance" conditions, your new washer combines:

• 2 Springs to isolate vibration

• 3 Shock absorbers at the washer base to minimize movement

Stainless Steel Drum

The stainless steel drum eliminates corrosion and enables higher spin speeds for more water extraction, reducing drying time.

Add Garment

This option is available in all wash cycles except Rinse & Spin, Drain & Spin, and Clean Washer with AFFRESH TM cycle. When this option is available at the beginning of the cycle, the Add

Garment status light will illuminate for approximately the first 7 minutes. This washer allows a 7-minute period in which other garments may be added to a load.

Dynamic Balance

A precision balancing system allows the washer to reach high- speed spins. The washer spins faster so that clothes coming out

of the washer will have less moisture than with traditional top load machines. In addition, if the Dynamic Balance system detects off- balance loads during spinning, it redistributes the clothes so that

they are evenly balanced.

Smart Dispensers

The three compartments in the dispenser allow loading of all laundry products before the washer is started. The products will be dispensed into the wash at the optimal time for high-

performance cleaning. The bleach release system is included in the detergent advantage system. The detergent is added at the beginning of the cycle, and the bleach is added after the enzymes have had a chance to do their cleaning. The fabric softener is

dispensed in the rinse cycle. The Detergent Advantage System Dispenser tray is easily removed for cleaning.

Use only HE High Efficiency detergenL

Adaptive Variable Speed Motor

The motor adapts to the load size and to the cycle selected to give the optimum cleaning, rinsing, and spinning conditions. The

motor can handle slow speeds needed for delicate items and is powerful enough to drive an average clothes load up to high- speed spin.

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. 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.

Use only HE High Efficiency detergent.

e •

First Wash Cycle Without Laundry

Before washing clothes for the first time, if not completed during the complete installation step, choose the Normal cycle and run it

without clothes. Use only HE High Efficiency detergent. Use 1/2 the manufacturer's recommended amount for a medium-size

load. This initial cycle serves to ensure the interior is clean before washing clothes.

For All Wash Cycles

To load washer Open the washer door by pulling on the handle. Sort laundry

according to color and type of fabric. Place a load of sorted clothes in the washer. Do not overload washer. Overloading

can cause poor cleaning.

• Always empty pockets. Small items can be caught within the washer resulting in noise or plugging the pump.

The washer can be fully loaded, but not tightly packed. Washer door should close easily.

Mix large and small items. Avoid washing a single item. 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 rim at the front of the tub for small items.

Close the washer door by pushing it firmly until the lock clicks. After a lock check at the beginning of the cycle, the washer door will remain locked during the wash cycle.

NOTE: After any wash cycle is completed, the door must be opened and then closed before a new cycle can begin. The door can be opened only if START/PAUSE is selected while

the Add Garment light is illuminated or if the cycle has been canceled. See "To cancel a cycle" in the "Changing Cycles and Options" section.

Your new washer has a dispenser drawer with three separate compartments for your laundry products--one is for detergent,

one is for liquid chlorine bleach, 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 products directly into the wash tub. Always use the proper dispensers when adding laundry products.

Heavy Duty

Use this cycle to wash loads of sturdy, colorfast fabrics and heavily soiled garments. This cycle combines fast-speed

tumbling, longer wash time, and high-speed spin to shorten drying times.

Normal

Use this cycle to wash loads of no-iron fabrics such as sport shirts, blouses, casual business clothes, permanent press blends,

cottons and linens, and synthetic fabrics. This cycle combines medium-speed tumbling, high-speed spin, and a load cooling process to reduce wrinkling.

Delicate

Use this cycle to wash sheer fabrics and lingerie. This cycle combines low-speed tumbling and low-speed spin for gentle

fabric care.

• Use mesh garment bags to wash undergarments such as underwire bras, items with strings, and small items such as

socks.

Rinse & Spin

Use this cycle to get a rinse and spin only. This cycle combines fast-speed tumbling and high-speed spin.

Rinse & Spin is useful for:

• Loads that need rinsing only.

• Adding fabric softener to a load using the fabric softener dispenser.

Use this cycle to drain your washer or to drain and spin your wash load. The spin speed is present to high.

Using Drain & Spin:

1. Select Drain & Spin cycle.

Clean Washer with AFFRESH cycle

Use the Clean Washer with AFFRESH TM cycle once a month to keep the inside of your washer fresh and clean. This cycle uses a

higher water level in combination with AFFRESH _ washer cleaner tablet or chlorine bleach to thoroughly clean the inside of your washing machine. See "Cleaning Your Washer."

IMPORTANT: Do not place garments or other items in the washer during the Clean Washer with AFFRESH TM cycle. Use this cycle

with an empty wash drum.

Temperature Guide

Temp Suggested Fabrics

HOT Whites and pastels

Heavy soils

WARM Bright colors

Moderate to light soils

As with any new product, you will hear sounds that you are not accustomed to. You may hear various sounds when the door is locked or unlocked, and during the washing, rinsing, or spinning

process. Between changes in wash actions, there will be momentary pauses. You will hear water spraying and splashing during the wash and rinse cycles. These new sounds and pauses are part of normal washer operation. See "Troubleshooting."

COLD Colors that bleed or fade

Light soils

In wash water temperatures colder than 60°F (15.6°C), detergents do not dissolve well. Soils may be difficult to remove.

Controlled Temperature

Warm and cold wash temperatures are sensed and maintained by regulating the amount of hot and cold water from your faucet. This provided excellent cleaning while saving energy.

ATC (Auto Temp Control) electronically senses and maintains a uniform water temperature, by regulating incoming hot and cold

water.

• Cold rinse is not controlled by the ATC and will be the same temperature as the water coming from your cold water faucet.

Cycle Signal

This signal is helpful when you are removing items from the washer as soon as it stops. Press and hold CYCLE SIGNAL to select signal on or off.

LAUNDRYTIPS

Preparing clothes for washing

Follow these recommendations to help you prolong the life of your garments.

• 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. 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.

Use only HE High Efficiency detergent.

Close zippers, snaps, and hooks to avoid snagging other items. Remove pins, buckles, and other hard objects to avoid

scratching the washer interior. Remove non-washable trim and ornaments.

• Empty pockets. Small items can be caught with the washer resulting in noise or plugging the pump.

• Turn down cuffs; brush away lint and dirt.

• Turn wool and synthetic knits inside out to avoid pilling.

• Tie strings and sashes so they will not tangle.

• Mend tears, loose hems, and seams.

• Treat spots and stains.

• Stained or wet garments should be washed promptly for best results.

Mix large and small items, avoid washing single items, and load evenly.

Wash small items, such as infant socks, in a mesh garment bag. To create a balanced load it is recommended that more

than one garment bag be used, and that each garment bag be filled with equal amounts of material.

NOTE: If you are washing only small items, it is recommended that more than one mesh garment bag be used, and that each

garment bag be filled with equal amounts of material.

Unloading

• Remove clothes from washer after the cycle is completed. Metal objects such as zippers, snaps, and buckles may rust if left in the washer basket for a long time.

• When unloading garments, occasionally check under the colored seal at the front of the tub for small items.

Sorting

• Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled ones, even if they would normally be washed together. Separate lint-givers (towels, chenille) from lint-takers (corduroy, synthetics,

permanent press). When possible, turn lint-givers inside out. Separate dark colors from light colors, colorfast items from

noncolorfast items. Sort by fabric and construction (sturdy cottons, knits, delicate

items).
