LEVELING THE WASHER
The drum of your new washer spins at very high speeds.
To minimize vibration, noise, and unwanted movement,
the oor 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 that the oor is clean, dry and free of
dust, dirt, water and oils so the washer feet
cannot slide easily. Leveling feet that
move or slide on the oor can contribute
to excess vibration and noise due to
poor contact with the oor. See
INSTALLATION OF NON-SKID PADS
for more information.
NOTE: If a drip pan must be used, make sure to follow
the instructions provided with the drip pan and make
sure the leveling feet are adjusted for rm and even
contact with the pan. Use of drip pans and failure to
properly level the machine may result in increased
vibration and noise during operation.
All four leveling feet must rest solidly on the oor. Rock
the washer from corner to corner to make sure that all
four leveling feet are in rm and even contact with the
oor.
Level
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Tighten all 4 lock nuts
securely using the
wrench.
3. Once the washer is level from side to side and front
to back, use the adjusting wrench to tighten all four
lock nuts securely to prevent the legs from getting out
of adjustment during operation. Make sure that all
four leveling feet are in rm contact with the oor.
NOTE: To make sure that the washer is properly level,
run the washer with a test load: place a medium-sized
load of laundry in the machine. Then, press POWER,
select RINSE & SPIN, and press the START/PAUSE
button.
See the following sections for additional information
on cycle selection and operation. Verify that the
washer does not rock or vibrate excessively during
the spin cycle. If the washer vibrates or shakes, adjust
the leveling feet, while the washer is spinning, until the
vibrations are reduced.
Leveling Feet
Leveling Feet
1. Position the washer in its nal location, taking special
care not to pinch, strain, or crush the water and drain
lines. Place a level across the top of the washer.
Raise Lower
2. Loosen the locknuts on all four leveling feet with the
wrench until you can adjust the feet (wrench appearance
may vary). Use the wrench to turn the feet clockwise
to raise the washer, and counterclockwise to lower the
washer. Using a level, adjust the feet until the washer is
level from side to side and front to back. Make sure that
all four feet are in rm contact with the oor.
NOTE: If you are installing the washer on the optional
pedestal, the washer leveling feet should be fully retracted.
Use the leveling feet on the pedestal to level the washer.
INSTALLATION OF NON-SKID PADS
(optional)
Some oor surfaces are too slippery to prevent the
washer from moving on the oor during heavily
unbalanced loads. While it is normal for an occasional
load to be out of balance, excess noise and vibration
can result from the washer moving out of position. If
these conditions are encountered, follow the instructions
below for installation of the non-skid pads. These pads
will help prevent the washer from moving during heavy,
out of balance conditions, thereby reducing noise and
vibration.
NOTE: Non-skid pads are included in the installation
packet.

Grouping Similar Items
For the best washing results, and to reduce the possibility
of damage to clothing, care should be taken to sort the
clothing into loads that are made up of similar items.
Mixing dierent 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.
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.
• Combine large and small items in a load. Load large items rst.
• Large items should not be more than half of the total wash load.
• The drum should not be tightly packed with items. The door 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.
• Do not wash or spin waterproof items, such as rain coats,
sleeping bags, etc.
• When unloading the washer, check under the door seal for small
items.
Make sure that the door seal area is clear when closing the
NOTE:
door. Overloading the washer can cause items to get caught
between the door and the seal. This can damage both the items
and the seal.
• DO NOT OVERLOAD
THE DRUM
• MAKE SURE
CLOTHING IS NOT
CAUGHT IN THE
DOOR GASKET
Soil Level
Wash heavily soiled clothing together. Washing lightly
soiled clothing in the same load with heavily soiled
clothing 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 o 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.)

ABOUT THE DISPENSER DRAWER
HOW TO USE
The automatic dispenser consists of four compartments
which hold:
• Liquid chlorine bleach.
• Liquid fabric softener.
• Liquid or powdered detergent for prewash.
• Liquid or powdered detergent and color-safe bleach
for main wash.
Detergent Pods
Do not place liquid or powdered detergent pods in the
dispenser drawer. Place the pod in the drum before
loading laundry.
Pre-Wash Detergent Compartment
Add liquid or powdered detergent to this compartment
when using the Pre-Wash option. Always use High-
Eciency (HE) detergent with your washing machine.
The amount of detergent added for the Pre-Wash
option should be ½ the amount recommended for the
main wash cycle. For example, if the main wash cycle
requires ½ measure of detergent, add ¼ measure to the
Pre-Wash compartment.
NOTE:
If using liquid detergent for the main wash when
using the Pre-Wash option, the liquid detergent cup
accessory must be used in the main wash dispenser. This
will prevent the main wash liquid detergent from being
dispensed immediately.
Main Wash Detergent Compartment
This compartment holds laundry detergent for the main
wash cycle. The detergent is added to the load at the
beginning of the cycle. Always use High-Eciency (HE)
detergent with your washing machine. Either powdered
or liquid detergent may be used.

• 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 ll
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 is
automatically dispensed during the nal 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 ll line. Using too much fabric softener may
stain clothes.
• Dilute concentrated fabric softeners with warm water.
Do not exceed the maximum ll line.
• Never pour fabric softener directly onto the load or

HOW TO USE
DETERGENT AND DISPENSER USE
A Word About Detergents
High-Eciency (HE) detergents produce fewer suds,
dissolve more eciently to improve washing and rinsing
performance, and help to keep the interior of your
washer clean. Using detergent that is not HE may cause
oversudsing and unsatisfactory performance which
could result in error codes, cycle failure, and
machine damage.
