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 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
This is the safety alert symbol.
"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.
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 intothe 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 Use and Care Guide or in published user-repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to
carry out.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
For a grounded, cord-connected washer:
This washer must be grounded. In the event of a mal- function or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk
of electrical shock by providing a path of least resist- ance 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 ground- ed 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 prop- erly 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.

10
BENEFITS
Your new washer works differently than most washers that you are accustomed to. The most striking difference is the washer
does not have an agitator. It uses the innovative CALYPSO TM Wash Motion. The Wash Plate, at the bottom of the basket,
creates a motion that lifts, rolls and bounces your wash load through a mixture of water and detergent that is continuously
reapplied to the load to force out stains and soils.
The CALYPSO TM Wash Motion
Is easier to load (since there is no agitator.)
Is gentler on clothes. There is less wear and tear on your clothes.
Fluffs the load after the final spin to make unloading easier.
SENSOR SMART TM Electronic Controls SENSOR SMART electronic controls are easy to use whether you
are a beginner or an "expert."
TRIPLE SMART TM Dispensers The TRIPLE SMART dispensers make your washer truly
automatic. It is unnecessary for you to return to the washer during the cycle to add detergent, bleach, or fabric softener.
Laundry products are diluted with fresh water and added to the load at the proper time in the wash cycle.
Larger Load Size Since there is no agitator, you can wash larger, bulkier items like a
sleeping bag. You are also able to wash more clothes at one time, which means fewer loads. The KING SlZF M Capacity Plus allows for loads such as king size bedding. You can wash a pillow ora large stuffed teddy bear.
ULTRA QUIET PAK TM
The ULTRA QUIET PAK reduces water sounds and ringing noises. The cabinet and base are insulated with sound-
dampening materials. An additional tub wrap is added for superior vibration and sound-dampening.
Suspension System To reduce washer "walk" and "out of balance" conditions, your
new washer combines:
4 Spring damper struts to isolate vibration
2 Shock absorbers at the washer base to minimize movement
Balance ring at the top of the wash basket to minimize vibration
Stainless Steel Basket The Stainless Steel basket eliminates corrosion and enables
higher spin speeds for more water extraction, reducing drying time.
High-Efficiency Wash System Your new top loading, high-efficiency washer saves time with
fewer, larger loads, conserves resources and lowers your water and energy bills too.
Force Filter Wash/Rinse System This washer filters 100% of the wash and rinse water. The water is filtered then re-circulated. The force filter traps sand and dirt,
flushing it down the drain, so it is not re-deposited on the clean clothes.
Auto Water Level
This washer senses load size and composition, then automatically adjusts water level for best cleaning and rinsing performance. It eliminates the guess work. The water level is just right for every wash load size.
11
WASHER USE
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.
The following is a guide to starting your washer. Periodic references to other sections of this manual provide more detailed
information.
1. Place a load of sorted clothes into the washer. Load to a level shown below. (See "Loading.")
2. Pour measured powdered or liquid detergent into the detergent dispenser.
For best performance use with High Efficiency detergents. The package for this type of detergent will be marked "HE" or High Efficiency." The new wash action of CALYPSO TM along with less water, could create too much sudsing with a regular detergent. HE detergents like TIDE" HE 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.
If High Efficiency detergent is not available, use a reduced amount of regular laundry detergent.
NOTE: You can add color-safe bleach (liquid or powdered) to
this dispenser as well.
3,
Pour measured liquid chlorine bleach into the liquid chlorine
bleach dispenser, if needed. Bleach is diluted and automatically dispensed at the proper time during the wash cycle.
12
Do not overfill. Never use more than 1 cup (250 mL) for a
full load. Use less with a smaller load size.
Follow the manufacturer's directions for safe use.
To avoid spilling, use a cup with a pouring spout. Do not
let bleach splash, drip, or run down into the washer basket.
NOTE: Use only liquid chlorine bleach in this dispenser.
4. Pour measured liquid fabric softener into the fabric softener
dispenser, if desired.
Do not overfill. The dispenser holds 3 oz (94 mL). or a capful of fabric softener.
The fabric softener is dispensed in the final rinse.
Do not spill or drip any fabric softener on the clothes.
NOTE: Use only liquid fabric softener in this dispenser.
5. Close the washer lid.

*Wash Time in minutes will appear in the display while making selections. The total cycle time will appear, including an estimated time for drain and fill times, once Start is pressed.
After you have loaded the washer, selected the cycle, options and modifiers and you have pressed START, you washer does the following:
Distributes the load
Load is initially fluffed to distribute the load before water is added.
Water enters through the dispenser to mix with the detergent. Water continues to be added until the load is soaked and just enough water is present to maintain the spray• This way of washing and rinsing uses less water and makes the detergent
more effective in cleaning your clothes. As a result, you will
only see a wet load and not a full tub of water, if you open the
lid.
As the washer continues to fill, a low speed spin begins and the detergent/water mixture is sprayed on to the load.
The spinning stops and the CALYPSO TM Wash Motion
begins, while the wash water continues to be sprayed on to
the moving load. The length of wash depends on the cycle and wash time selected.
The CALYPSO Wash Motion features five wash speeds in combination with low-speed spin sprays for a variety of fabric
care needs.
Liquid chlorine bleach is dispensed in the last 2-3 minutes of
the wash cycle to help ensure the best cleaning results. The wash water is then drained and spun out before rinsing
begins.

Rinses
Rinsing is accomplished in the same manner as washing. Fresh water is added to a slow spinning load. Then the load moves through the spray rinses. The water is then drained away and the rinsing process is repeated. The number of rinses varies depending on the cycle.
During the last rinse, fabric softener is dispensed into the bottom of the tub and then sprayed through the load.
Final Spin
The last of the rinse water is drained and the load is spun. The amount of spinning depends on the cycle selected.
To make unloading easy the load is peeled off the sides of the basket by the CALYPSO TM Wash Motion.
Normal Washer Sounds
As with any new product, you will hear sounds that you are not accustomed to. You may hear various sounds occurring during the washing, rinsing and 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.")
Use this feature to select the desired prewash and rinse options for your wash cycle.
Prewash Options
Select a prewash option to ensure thorough cleaning of your heavily soiled and stained loads.

OP_ONS
Saturated Soak
Use this option for set-in stains and soil that need extra time for removal. Soaking in this washer is different than in a conventional washer. The washer sprays the load with water and detergent for
4 minutes at extra low spin speed followed by a brief period of wash action at the speed of the selected cycle. Then another 4
minutes of spraying and extra low spinning occurs. The wash action then pauses for the detergent to work on the soils. The
SATURATED SOAK feature is followed by the selected cycle. Using SATURATED SOAK will extend your wash cycle by 16
minutes.
Stain Treat
Selecting this option boosts cleaning in any cycle. This option allows you to use more detergent than you would normally use in
a single cycle. For best results, use 2 times the amount of recommended detergent for a load. Using STAIN TREAT will
extend your wash cycle by 14 minutes.
Rinse/Spin Options
Selecting this option allows you to choose a 2nd Rinse and Extended Spin option. You may also select and run EXTENDED SPIN and RINSE/SPIN without first selecting a cycle. RINSE/ SPIN is not available if a cycle has been selected.

2nd Rinse
Selecting this option provides a second rinse with the same water temperature as selected for the first rinse. A 2nd Rinse can be added to any wash cycle.
Extended Spin
This option adds an additional 3 minutes of spin to any cycle to reduce drying time and save energy. If you select EXTENDED SPIN and do not select a wash cycle, you will get an 8 minute, high speed spin.
Rinse/Spin
Use this option to get a combination of rinses and spins followed by a high-speed spin. The time display will include an estimate of how long it will take to fill and drain the washer. Fabric softener can be added to the Fabric Softener dispenser.
When to use Rinse/Spin:

Load too wet
Did you use the right cycle for the load being washed? Select a cycle with a higher spin speed.
Did you use a cold rinse? Cold rinses leave loads wetter than warm rinses. This is normal.
Did you use regular laundry detergent?
Regular detergent can cause too much suds and leave the load wet. Use High Efficiency detergents like TIDE" HE.
Residue or lint on load
Did you add detergent to the dispenser?
For best results, use the dispenser to dissolve the detergent.
Did you sort properly?
Sort lint givers (towels, chenille) from lint takers (corduroy, synthetics). Also sort by color.
Did you overload the washer?
The wash load must be balanced. See "Starting Your Washer" for maximum load size. Lint can be trapped in the
load if overloaded. Wash smaller loads. Check the following:
Was paper or tissue left in pockets?
Bid you use enough detergent? Follow manufacturer's directions. Use enough detergent to
hold the lint in the water.
Is your water colder than 7O°F (21°0)?
Wash water colder than 70°F (21°C) may not completely dissolve the detergent.
Are you using a gentle wash cycle?
Consider using liquid detergent for slow speed cycles like
Bulky, Hand Wash, Wool/Silk.
Stains on load
Bid you add detergent to the dispenser?
For best results, use the dispenser to dissolve the detergent. Did you use enough detergent?
Use enough detergent to remove soil and hold it in suspension. For best performance, use High Efficiency detergents like
TIDE "_HE, at the manufacturer's recommended amounts.
Did you add fabric softener directly to the load? Use your fabric softener dispenser, if available. Do not drip
fabric softener on clothes.
Is there above average iron (rust) in water?
You may need to install an iron filter.
Did you properly sort the load?
Sort dark clothes from whites and lights.

Did you follow the manufacturer's care label instructions?
Cycle too long
Are you using a High Efficiency Detergent? If using a regular sudsing detergent, the washer may be using
extra rinses to remove the suds, which will cause the cycle to run longer. Use a High Efficiency detergent like TIDE' HE, which produces less suds, or reduce the amount of regular detergent.
Gray whites, dingy colors
Did you properly sort the load? Dye transfer can occur when mixing whites and colors in a
load. Sort dark clothes from whites and lights.
Was the wash temperature too low? Use hot or warm washes if safe for the load. Hot water should
be at least 111°F (44°C) to clean heavy or greasy soils.
Did you use enough detergent, or do you have hard
water?
Use more detergent for washing heavy soils in cold or hard water. Water temperature should be at least 70°F (21°C) for
soap to dissolve and work properly.
Are the hot and cold water inlet hoses reversed?
