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 into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

ARNING: 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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

REMOVE TRANSPORT SYSTEM

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 unit is within approximately 3 ft (90 cm) of the final location.

There

are 4 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.

Using a 13 mm wrench, loosen each of the bolts.

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

Close the bolt holes with the 4 transport bolt hole plugs.

NOTE: If the washer is to be transported at a

later date, call your local service center. To avoid suspension and structural damage, your machine must be properly set up for relocation by a certified technician.

CONNECT THE INLET HOSES

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

onnect the inlet hoses to the water faucets

Make sure the washer drum is empty.

1. Attach a hose to the hot water faucet.

Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on the washer

2. Attach a hose to the cold water faucet.

Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on the washer

3. Using pliers, tighten the couplings with

an additional two-thirds turn.

NOTE: Do not overtighten or use tape or sealants on the valve. Damage to the valves can result.

Once all 4 bolts are removed, discard the bolts and spacers. Then pull the power cord through the opening of the rear panel

and close the hole with the attached

cap.

Clear the water lines

1. Run water through both faucets and inlet hoses, into a laundry tub, drainpipe or bucket, to get rid of particles in the water

lines that might clog the inlet valve

screens.

Check the temperature of the water to make sure that the hot water hose is connected

to the hot water faucet and that the cold water hose is connected to the cold water faucet.

Connect the inlet hoses to the washer

NOTE: Replace

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

PRODUCT OPERATION

The 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 with smaller amounts of additives. 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 loads size.

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

or 4 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.

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 a high-speed spin.

SPIN SPEEDS

This washer automatically selects the spin speed based on the cycle selected. For some cycles, the default spin speed can be changed if desired. This washer offers up to three different spin speed choices.

ADD A GARMENT

This option is available in all wash cycles except Rinse/Spin and Drain/Spin. When this option is available at the beginning of the cycle the Add A Garment status light will illuminate for the ﬁrst 7 minutes. This washer allows a 7-minute period in which forgotten 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.

3-2

SMART DISPENSERS

The three compartments in the dispenser allow loading of all laundry additives before the washer is started. The additives 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 or in the EXTRA RINSE, if selected. The Detergent Advantage System Dispenser tray is easily removed for cleaning.

Use only HE High Efficiency detergent.

3-3

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.

ARNING: To reduce the risk of ﬁre, electric

shock, or injury to persons, read the IMPORT

ANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before operat-

ing this appliance.

The

following is a guide to using the washer. Please refer to speciﬁc sections of this manual for more detailed information.

1. 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.

he 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.

•

USING THE PROPER 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, 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.

First Wash Cycle Without Laundry

Before washing clothes for the ﬁrst time, if not completed during the ﬁnal installation step, choose the Normal/Casual cycle and run it without clothes. Use only HE High Efﬁciency detergent. Use 1/2 the manufacturer’s recommended

amount for a medium-sized load. This initial cycle serves to ensure the interior is clean before washing clothes.

hen 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. 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 PAUSE/CANCEL is selected while the ADD A GARMENT light is illuminated or if the cycle has been canceled. See “To cancel a cycle” in the “Changing Cycles and Options Section.”

USING THE DISPENSER

The washer has a dispenser drawer with three separate compartments for your laundry additives—one

is for detergent, one is for liquid chlorine bleach, and one is for liquid fabric softener. Laundry additives 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.

is normal for small amounts of water to remain in the dispensers when the wash cycle is complete.

not put laundry additives directly into the wash tub. Always use the proper dispensers when adding laundry additives.

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

WATER INLET HOSES

Replace inlet hoses after ﬁve years of use to reduce the risk of hose failure. Periodically inspect

and replace inlet hoses if bulges, kinks,

cuts, wear or leaks are found.

When

replacing your inlet hoses, record the

date of replacement.

VACATION, STORAGE, & MOVING CARE

Install and store your washer where it will not freeze. Because some water may stay in the hoses, freezing can damage your washer. If storing or moving your washer during freezing weather, winterize it.

Non-use or vacation care:

perate your washer only when you are at home. If you will be on vacation or not using your washer for an extended period of time, you should:

Unplug washer or disconnect power

Turn off the water supply to the washer. This helps avoid accidental ﬂooding (due to a water pressure surge) while you are away.

Slightly open door to provide ventilation.

o winterize washer:

1. Put 1 qt (1 L) of R.V.-type antifreeze in the

•

3-18

WASH / RINSE TEMPERATURE

Are the hot and cold water inlet hoses reversed?

See “Connect the Inlet Hoses.”

Are you washing many loads?

As your frequency of loads washed increases, the water temperature may decrease for hot and warm temperatures. This is normal.

CYCLE TIME CHANGES/CYCLE TOO LONG

Estimated cycle time?

The cycle times vary automatically based on your water pressure, water temperature, detergent,

and clothes load. The cycle time will be extended if oversudsing occurs or the load is unbalanced. The SUDs routine removes extra suds and assures proper rinsing of your garments.

The options you select will also affect the cycle times that are shown in the Preset Cycle Settings table.

Excessive suds?

When excessive suds are detected, a special suds routine automatically starts. This routine will add time to the original cycle.

Did the load cause imbalance?

When too much imbalance occurs, an imbalance routine will start to redistribute the load. During the imbalance routine the time displayed may pause until this activity is complete, then resume with the remainder of the cycle.

re you washing a single item or bulky

load?

Spin time is added if an unbalanced load is detected.

The washer will attempt to redistribute

the load with additional tumbling.

Did

you wash a large load on the Quick Wash

cycle?

The Quick Wash cycle is designed for smaller load sizes (2-3 items) of lightly soiled garments. If larger loads are washed in this cycle, wash time will be increased.

Did

you wash a large load in a gentle or Deli-

cate cycle?

When using the Quick Wash or Delicate cycles, you should use small loads. This ensures a gentle wash for your garments without increasing cycle times.

•

CLOTHES CARE

LOAD TOO WET

Did you use the right cycle for the load being washed?

Select a cycle with a higher spin speed.

Did you wash a single item or bulky items or have you overloaded the washer?

A single item, bulky items, or overloading may cause imbalance. Add items or try to evenly distribute

your wet laundry in the drum, and start a Drain/Spin cycle. If the laundry is still wet, take half of the load out of the washer and try again.

Did you use HE detergent?

Suds during rinse and spin cycles can reduce spin speed. Use HE detergent.

RESIDUE, LINT

, STAINS ON LOAD;

GRAY WHITES, DINGY COLORS

Did you add detergent to the dispenser?

For best results, add detergent to the detergent

compartment. Do not add detergent to the washer drum.

Did you sort properly?

Sort lint givers (towels, chenille) from lint takers (corduroy, synthetics). Dye transfer can occur when mixing whites and colors in a load. Sort dark clothes from whites and lights.

Did you overload the washer?

Do not overload the washer. The washer can be fully loaded, but not tightly packed. The wash load must be balanced. Lint can be trapped in the load if overloaded.

Check the following:

Was paper or tissue left in pockets?

Did you use enough HE detergent?

Follow manufacturer’s recommendations for the type of load you are washing. For best performance,

use only High Efﬁciency detergent. Use enough HE detergent to remove soil and hold it in suspension.

Do you have hard water?

Use more detergent for washing heavy soils in cold or hard water.

Is the water colder than 60°F (15.6°C)?

Wash water colder than 60°F (15.6°C) may not completely dissolve the detergent. Use hot or warm washes if safe for the fabric load. Make sure your hot water system is adequate to provide a hot water wash.

•

3-19

Are you using a low speed wash cycle?

Powdered detergents may not dissolve well in

a slow-speed cycle. For best results, use liquid detergent for slow-speed cycles such as Delicate.

Did you unload the washer promptly?

To avoid dye transfer, unload the washer as soon as it stops.

Did

you use a fabric softener dispensing

ball?

Dispensing balls will not operate correctly with this washer. Add liquid fabric softener to the fabric softener compartment.

Did

you use powdered detergent in a low-

speed cycle?

Consider using liquid detergent.

Did you use Quick Wash on a large load?

For best results, use Quick Wash for small, lightly

soiled loads.

•

LOAD IS WRINKLED, TWISTED, T

ANGLED

Did you unload the washer promptly?

Unload the washer as soon as it stops.

Did you use the right cycle for the load being washed?

Use the Delicate cycle or another cycle with a low spin speed to reduce wrinkling.

Did you overload the washer?

The wash load must be balanced and not overloaded.

Loads should tumble freely during wash-

ing.

as the wash water warm enough to relax

wrinkles?

If safe for load, use warm or hot wash water.

Are the hot and cold water hoses reversed?

Check that the hot and cold water hoses are connected

to the right faucets. A hot rinse followed by spin will cause wrinkling. See “Connect the Inlet Hoses.”
