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 result in property damage and/or serious bodily

harm or death.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word DANGER or WARNING. These words mean:

Failure to follow these safety instructions may result in property damage and/or serious bodily harm or death.

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.

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using this appliance, follow basic

precautions, including the following.

• Before use, the washer must be properly installed as described in this manual.

Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive sub- stances, 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 washer, 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 lid to prevent children from climbing inside.

Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to the weather or freezing temperatures.

Do not tamper with controls. Do not repair or replace any part of the washer or attempt

any servicing other than as described in this manual. We strongly recommend that any service be performed by a qualified individual.

See Installation Instructions for grounding requirements. ALWAYS follow the fabric care instructions supplied by the

garment manufacturer. Do not place items exposed to cooking oil in your washer.

Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire.

Use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static only as recommended by the manufacturer.

This washer is not designed for maritime use or for mobile

installations such as in RVs, aircraft, etc.

Turn OFF the water taps and unplug the washer if the

machine is to be left for an extended period of time, such as during vacations.

Packaging material can be dangerous for children. There is a risk of suffocation! Keep all packaging from children.

Always check the inside of the washer for foreign objects before loading laundry. Keep the lid closed when not in

use. Do not reach into the washer while parts are moving.

LEVELING THE WASHER

The tub of your new washer spins at very high speeds. To

minimize vibration, noise, and unwanted movement, the

floor must be a level, solid surface.

NOTE: Adjust the leveling feet only as far as necessary to level the washer. Extending the leveling feet more than necessary can cause the washer to vibrate.

NOTE: Before installing the washer, make sure the floor is clean, dry and free of dust, dirt, water and oils so the

washer feet can not slide easily. Leveling feet that can

move or slide on the floor can contribute to excess

vibration and noise due to poor contact with the floor.

• All four leveling feet must rest solidly on the floor. Attempt to rock the washer from corner to corner to make sure

that all four leveling feet are in firm contact with the floor.

1. Position the washer in the final location, taking special care to not pinch, strain, or crush the water and drain

lines. Place a level across the top of the washer.

• To check if the washer is level side to side, place a level on the back edge of the lid.

• To check if the washer is level front to back, place a level at the side of the washer on the edge where the cabinet

side meets the top cover. Do not place the level on the top or the lid as using these parts will result in the washer being out of level.

Grouping Similar Items

For the best washing results and to reduce the possibility of damage to the clothing, care should be taken to sort the clothing into loads that are made up of similar items.

Mixing different fabric types and/or soil levels can result in

poor wash performance, color transfer or discoloration, fabric damage or linting. Fabrics should be sorted into groups as described below.

Colors Sort articles by color. Wash dark clothes together in a

separate load from light colors or whites. Mixing dark clothes with light clothes can result in dye transfer or discoloration of the lighter clothes.

Soil Level Wash heavily soiled clothes together. Washing lightly

soiled clothes in the same load with heavily soiled clothes could result in poor wash performance for the lightly soiled clothing.

Fabric Type

Delicate articles should not be mixed with heavier or sturdier fabric types. Washing delicates in a load with

heavy fabrics can result in damage to the more delicate fabrics. Washing heavier fabrics in a delicate load can

result in poor wash performance for the heavier fabrics and

possible damage to the delicates.

Lint Type Some fabrics attract and bind lint to them while others give

off lint in the laundry process. Avoid mixing these lint collectors and lint producers in the same load. Mixing these fabrics will result in pilling and linting on the lint collectors. (For example, lint collector - knit sweater; lint

producer - terrycloth towels)

(when needed) (when needed)

Loading the Washer

• Check all pockets to make sure that they are empty. Items such as clips, matches, pens, coins, and keys can

damage both your washer and your clothes.

• Close zippers, hooks, and drawstrings to prevent these items from snagging or tangling on other clothes.

• Pretreat heavily stained areas for best results.

• Large items should not be more than half of the total

wash load.

• The washer can be fully loaded, but the tub should not be

tightly packed with items. The lid of the washer should close easily.

• To prevent an out-of-balance load, do not wash single items. Add one or two similar items to the load. Large, bulky items, such as a blanket, comforter, or bedspread,

should be washed individually.

• Never wash or spin waterproof items, such as rain coats,

sleeping bags, etc.

• Never wash fabrics containing flammable materials. (waxes, cleaning fluids, etc.)

• The washer will not fill or operate with the lid open.

IMPORTANT: Use the Bulky/Bedding cycle for large or bulky items such as poly-filled jackets, comforters, pillows, etc. These items may not be as absorbent as other laundry items and should be sorted into a separate wash load for optimal results.

Bulky items should be placed as far down in the wash bas- ket as possible for optimal results. Always place buoyant

items at the bottom of the wash basket. The washer will automatically detect the load size.

Because of the high-efficiency wash system, the water level may not completely cover the load.

ABOUT THE DISPENSER

The automatic dispenser consists of two compartments which hold:

• Liquid fabric softener.

• Liquid or powdered detergent for main wash.

_ Liquid Bleach

Compartment

Main Wash Detergent Compartment

This compartment holds laundry detergent for the main wash cycle, which is added to the load at the beginning of the cycle. Always use HE (High-Efficiency) detergent with your washing machine.

Never exceed the detergent manufacturer's recommenda- tions when adding detergent. Using too much detergent can result in detergent buildup in clothing and the washer.

Either powdered or liquid detergent may be used.

• When using liquid detergent, make sure the liquid deter- gent cup and insert are in place. Do not exceed the maxi-

mum fill line.

• When using powdered detergent, remove the insert and

liquid detergent cup from the compartment. Powdered detergent will not dispense with the liquid detergent cup and insert in place.

Liquid Bleach Compartment

The bleach dispenser is a separate compartment at the left

front of the tub opening. Use this compartment to dispense liquid chlorine bleach at the proper time in the wash cycle.

• Do not add powdered or liquid color-safe bleach to this compartment. The bleach compartment is designed to dispense liquid chlorine bleach only. Powdered or liquid color-safe bleach will not dispense properly.

• Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations when adding bleach. Do not exceed the maximum fill line since this can cause the bleach to be dispensed immediately causing damage to fabrics. Using too much bleach can damage fabrics.

• Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto the load or into the drum. Fabric damage can occur.

Fabric Softener Compartment

This compartment holds liquid fabric softener, which will be automatically dispensed during the final rinse cycle.

Never exceed the manufacturer's recommendations when

adding softener. Using too much fabric softener can result

in buildup in clothing and the washer. Either powdered or liquid fabric softener may be used.

• Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations when adding fabric softener. Do not exceed the maximum fill

line.

• Using too much fabric softener may stain clothes.

• Dilute concentrated fabric softeners with warm water. Do not exceed the maximum fill line.

• Never pour fabric softener directly onto the load or into the tub.

NOTE: The NORMAL/CASUAL cycle and the HEAVY DUTY cycle use a special JET SPRAY rinse to save water.

If fabric softener is to be used with either of these cycles, then the FABRIC SOFTENER option or the EXTRA RINSE option must be selected. Either option will cause the cycle to end with a deep rinse instead of the spray rinse. Failure to select either option will result in poor fabric softener

performance.

Do NOT mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids, such as vinegar or rust / scale remover.

Mixing chemicals like these can produce gas which may cause death.

Put the manufacturer's recommended amount of undiluted liquid chlorine bleach into the bleach dispenser.

During the final portion of the wash cycle, two sequential flushes of the dispenser put all the bleach into the wash load and completely flush the dispenser to eliminate the carryover of bleach to a subsequent load. Any liquid remaining in the bleach dispenser at the end of the cycle is water, not bleach. To prevent unintentional self-siphoning of the bleach, never fill the dispenser higher than the maximum fill level marked on the dispenser. When adding bleach to the dispenser, be careful to avoid spilling it into the laundry load or leaving droplets of bleach around the dispenser. These things will damage

your laundry items.

I I

DETERGENT AND DISPENSER USE

A Word About Detergents

HE detergents produce fewer suds, dissolve more efficient- ly to improve washing and rinsing performance, and help

to keep the interior of your washer clean.

Using non-HE detergent may cause oversudsing and unsatisfactory performance which could result in error

codes, cycle failure, and machine damage.

----N- MAXIMUM __ ormal load amount

LIQUID POWDERED

DETERGENT DETERGENT

For proper wash performance, always measure the detergent using the measure provided with the detergent by the manufacturer.

The normal amount needed for average loads is less than

1/2 of the recommended maximum. Use less detergent for soft water, light soil or smaller loads. Never use more than the maximum amount recommended by the detergent

manufacturer.

Riling the Dispenser

To add detergent, bleach, and fabric softener to the

automatic dispenser: 0 Open the dispenser drawer. O Load the laundry products into the appropriate

compartments.

Close the drawer before starting the cycle.

NOTE: It is normal for a small amount of water to remain

in the bleach and softener compartments at the end of the

cycle.

IMPORTANT: Do not place or store laundry products, such

as detergent, bleach, or liquid fabric softener, on top of our

washer or dryer. Wipe up any spills immediately. These

products can damage the finish and controls.

Using the Liquid Bleach Dispenser

The bleach dispenser

automatically dilutes and

dispenses liquid chlorine

bleach at the proper time

in the wash cycle.

Designed to use only HE

(High-Efficiency) detergent

IMPORTANT: Your washing machine is designed for use

with only High-Efficiency (HE) detergents. HE detergents are formulated specifically for front-load washers and contain suds-reducing agents. Always look for the HE

symbol when purchasing detergent.

IMPORTANT: Not all detergents are the same. Careful attention must be paid to the amount of detergent used to avoid overusing, poor rinsing and detergent buildup in clothing, and residue buildup that can contribute to odors

in the machine. NEVER use a cup or scoop other than that supplied by the manufacturer of the detergent you are

using. Never use more than the maximum amount

recommended by the manufacturer of the detergent. While HE detergents are designed for this type of washing

machine, care must be used when measuring the deter- gent. For most normal loads, no more than 1/2 to 3/4 of a cup or scoop of HE detergent should be used.

NOTE: Extra care must be exercised when using 2X and 3X concentrated detergents because even a little bit extra

can contribute to the problems mentioned above.

NOTE: Detergents designated as HE-COMPATIBLE may

not provide optimal results.

Check clothing care labels for special instructions.

Measure liquid bleach carefully, following instructions on the bottle.

• Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto clothes or into the wash basket.

• Do not pour powdered bleach into bleach dispenser. Do not place load items on top of the bleach dispenser when loading and unloading the

washer.

• Avoid overfilling or splashing when adding bleach

to the dispenser. The maximum capacity of the

bleach dispenser is one cup of bleach per wash

cycle. Overfilling could result in premature

dispensing of bleach.

Before starting the washer, pour a premeasured

amount of bleach directly into bleach dispenser.

If you prefer to use powdered bleach, add it into

the wash basket directly before adding clothes.

NOTE: Please flush the bleach dispenser with

water after bleach use and then rinse out the

residue by use of Rinse & Spin cycle.

I I

TIME AND STATUS DISPLAY

The time and status display shows the estimated time remaining and cycle progress.

O ESTIMATED TIME REMAINING

When the START/PAUSE is pressed to start a cycle, the washer automatically detects the wash load (weight) and optimizes the washing time, based on the selected cycle and options. The display will then indicate the estimated time remaining for the selected wash cycle.

NOTE:

• The time shown is estimated. For example, the time displayed may pause for a period of time while the

machine is heating the water or balancing the load. Under certain conditions, the machine can pause for

extended periods of time.

• Estimated time is based on normal operating conditions. Several external factors (load size, room temperature, incoming water temperature, etc.) also affect the length of estimated time vs. actual time.

O CYCLE STATUS INDICATOR

These status LEDs illuminate to indicate which portion

of the cycle is currently running. A blinking light indicates the active portion of the cycle. When that portion is complete, the light will remain steady.

I I

CYCLE MODIFIER BUTTONS

Each cycle has default settings that are selected automatically. You may adjust some of these settings using the cycle modifier buttons. Press the button for the desired

modifier until the indicator light for the desired value is lit. The washer automatically adjusts the water level for the type and size of wash load for best results and maximum efficiency. Due to the high-efficiency nature of this product, water levels may be much lower than expected. This is

normal operation and cleaning/rinsing performance will not

be compromised.

WATER TEMP Adjusts the wash and rinse temperature combination

for the selected cycle. Press the WATER TEMP button until the indicator light for the desired setting is lit.

• Your washer features a heating element to boost the hot water temperature for Extra Hot settings.

This provides improved wash performance at normal water heater settings.

• Select the water temperature suitable for the type of load you are washing. Follow the garment fabric care

labels for best results.

• Warm rinses are regulated at approximately 86°F (30°C).

• Warm rinses leave the clothes drier than cold rinses, but will result in increased energy consumption and

greater wrinkling of clothes.

• Cold rinses use less energy. The actual rinse

temperature depends on the temperature of the cold water at the faucet.

• In cold climates, a warm rinse makes the load more

comfortable to handle.

• Use both hot and cold water supply for optimal results.

_) SPIN SPEED

Higher spin speeds extract more water from clothes, reducing drying time and saving energy. Press the SPIN SPEED button until the indicator light

for the desired setting is lit. Some fabrics, such as

delicates, require a slower spin speed.

SPECIAL SAFETY FEATURE

This washer is equipped with a special feature that is designed to make your washer as safe as possible. If the washer

is paused or shut off while there is still water in the tub, the washer will automatically drain the water after 4 minutes to help keep children safe by reducing the possibility of water remaining in the tub. If the washer is shut off for three minutes while there is still water in the tub, an alarm will sound to notify you that the

washer is about to drain the water from the tub. The washer can be restarted at this time if desired.

If the washer is paused for 4 minutes, the display will go off and all cycle settings will be lost. After three more minutes, the alarm will sound to notify you that the washer is about to drain the water from the tub. The washer can be turned on and another cycle started if desired.

If no action is taken, the "dr" error code will be displayed and the water will be drained from the tub. Once the washer begins draining the water, the controls are disabled and the drain process cannot be interrupted. Once the water is completely drained, the washer will shut off.

NOTE: In the unlikely event that the washer experiences an error that causes an error code to be displayed, the washer will still sound the alarm after three minutes and drain after 4 minutes. However, only the original error code will be dis- played.

I I
