FEATURES AND
BENEFITS
SENSOR SMART^'^ Electronic Controls
Flexible electronic controls are easy to use whether you are a
beginner or an expert.
Detergent Advantage System Dispenser
The four compartments in the dispenser allow loading of ali
laundry additives before the washer is started. The additives will
be dispensed into the wash at the optimal time for high
performance cleaning. TIMED BLEACH"^“ release 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 oycle. The Detergent Advantage System
Dispenser tray is easily removed for cleaning.
High-Efficiency Wash System
Your new front-loading, high-efficiency washer saves time with
fewer, larger loads, conserves resources and lowers your water
and energy bills too.
Spin Speeds
This washer automatically selects the spin speed based on the
cycle selected. This factory setting can be changed, however.
This washer offers up to six different spin speed choices.
Thermal Optimizer
The heating system ensures that the wash water is heated to the
preset temperature for Heavy Duty, Whitest Whites, Sanitary, and
the Stain Treat option. It also provides “stepped oleaning” when
using the sanitary cycle or the stain treat option. “Stepped
oleaning” starts the wash cycle with warm water to remove stains
(such as blood or grass). The water continues heating in order to
remove stains such as dirty mechanical oil. During the sanitary
cycle, the thermal optimizer can heat the water to temperatures
that will destroy 99.999% of three common types of bacteria
found in soiled laundry.
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.
Larger Load Size
Since there is no agitator, you can wash larger, bulkier items iike
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
■ 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 wool and delicate
items and is powerful enough to drive a large clothes load into a
1,200 rpm spin.
Add A Garment
When lighted, Express Wash, Normal/Casual, Heavy Duty,
Whitest Whites, and Sanitary can be paused and the door
unlocked so you can add a garment that may have been
forgotten when loading the washer. The ADD A GARMENT status
light will stay lit for the first 8 minutes of a cycle.
CATALYST® Cleaning Action with Direct Injection
A concentrated detergent solution is sprayed onto the clothes at
the beginning of the cycle to ensure that the detergent comes
into contact with the clothes as quickly as possible, removing
stains from your clothes without pre-treating.
Dynamic Balance
A precision balancing system that allows the washer to reach
spin speeds of 1,200 rpm. The washer spins faster so that
clothes coming out of the washer will dry faster. In addition, if the
Dynamic Balance system detects off balance loads during
spinning, it redistributes the clothes so that they are evenly
balanced.

WASHER USE
AWARNING
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, elecfric 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.
First Wash Cycle Without Laundry
Before washing clothes for the first time, choose NORMAL/
CASUAL cycle and run it without clothes. After installation, If a
complete cycle has not been run without clothes, use V2 the
normal recommended amount of powdered or liquid High
Efficiency (HE) detergent or V* the normal recommended amount
of regular powdered or liquid detergent. This initial cycle serves
to ensure the interior is clean before washing clothes.
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.
■ The washer can be fully loaded, but not tightly packed.
Washer door should close easily.
infant socks in a mesh garment bag.
■ When unloading garments, occasionally check under the
rubber rim 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.
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 glowing or if the cycle has been
canceled. See “To Cancel a Cycle.”
3. Open the Dispenser Drawer and add laundry products to the
detergent, bleach, or fabric softener compartments. Close
drawer slowly to avoid spills. See “Using the Dispenser.”
NOTE: For best performance, use High Effficiency detergents.
The package for this type of detergent will be marked “HE” or
“High Efficiency.” The HE* “wash action” along with less water
could create too much sudsing with a regular detergent.
4. Turn on the washer by selecting one of the WASH CYCLES.
The indicator light for the selected cycle will glow. When
selecting a Wash Cycle, the preset options, Water Temp, Spin
Speed, and soil level for the selected cycle will glow. The
display shows the estimated time remaining. The preset
settings provide the recommended fabric care for the
selected cycle. See “Wash Cycles.”
5. Select the desired OPTIONS. Not all Options are available
with all cycles. See “Options."
6. Select the desired MODIFIERS. Not all Modifiers are available
with all Cycles and Options. See “Modifiers."
7. If desired, select the END OF CYCLE SIGNAL. The signal is
helpful when you are washing items that should be removed
from the washer as soon as it stops. Select HIGH or LOW.
8. To begin the wash cycle immediately
Select and hold START (for approximately 1 second).
■ If you do not select START within 5 minutes of choosing a
cycle, the washer automatically shuts off.
■ When the wash cycle is complete, the CLOTHES CLEAN
status light glows, the door unlocks, and the wash load
can be removed from the washer. The washer powers
down automatically 5 minutes after the cycle is complete
and the CLOTHES CLEAN light goes off. To power down
the washer manually after the wash cycle is complete,
select PAUSE/CANCEL once.
11
9. To begin the wash cycle later
Select DELAY until the desired delay time (in hours) shows in
the Estimated Time Remaining display. Select START. The
countdown to the wash cycle will show in the display window.
Your new washer has a dispenser drawer with four separate
compartments for your laundry products—two are 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 additives directly into the wash tub. Always
use the proper dispensers when adding laundry products.
Choosing the Right Detergent
For best washing performance, use a High Efficiency (HE), or
low-sudsing, detergent. Regular detergents may cause
oversudsing in the washer. If a High Efficiency detergent Is
unavailable, use V2 the recommended amount of regular
detergent. Use of Regular detergent will lead to unsatisfactory
performance over time.
Most detergents formulated for hand-washing are not meant for
front-loading washers and may cause oversudsing. Start with 'A
the recommended amount. If oversudsing occurs, try a detergent
formulated for high efficiency washers.
To fill dispenser compartments
1. Pull out the dispenser drawer.
2. Add the desired laundry product to the proper compartment.
3. Push in the dispenser drawer carefully and completely (to
avoid spillage).
Prewash detergent compartment
(Number 1 In Dispenser Illustration)
Add detergent to this compartment when using the Prewash
option or Auto Soak. Liquid or powdered detergent may be used
in this compartment. The detergent will automatically be
dispensed during Prewash if the Prewash option is selected or
during the soak time if Auto Soak is selected.
■ If you use High Efficiency (HE) detergent, add Vs the
recommended amount to the prewash compartment and %
the recommended amount to the main wash compartment.
■ If you use regular detergent, add Vs of the recommended
amount to the prewash compartment and Vs of the
recommended amount to the main wash compartment.
Main Wash detergent compartment
(Number 3 in Dispenser Illustration)
Add liquid or powdered detergent to this compartment for your
main wash cycle. The detergent separator must always be in
place, either in the front or back position.
IMPORTANT: If you are using the Prewash option, the Auto Soak
with a wash cycle, or Delay, powdered detergent must be used in
