BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING

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

yy Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner's Manual. yy Before use, the washer must be properly installed as described in this manual.

yy 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 substances, as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

yy 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.

yy 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.

yy Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the washer is used near children. A child might become trapped inside the washer and suffocate.

yy Before the washer is removed from service or discarded, remove the lid to prevent children from climbing inside.

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

yy Keep the area underneath and around your appliances free of combustible materials (lint, paper, rags, etc.), gasoline, chemicals and other flammable vapors and liquids.

yy Service must be performed by a qualified service technician. Do not disassemble the washer. yy See Installation Instructions for grounding requirements.

yy ALWAYS follow the fabric care instructions supplied by the garment manufacturer.

12 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

LEVELING THE WASHER

The tub of your new washer spins at very high speeds. To minimize vibration, noise, and 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.

Before installing the washer, make sure that the floor is clean, dry and free of dust, dirt, water and oil so the washer feet cannot slide easily. Leveling feet that move or slide on the floor can contribute to excessive 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 its final location, taking special care not to pinch, strain, or crush the water and drain lines. Place a level across the top of the washer.

the cabinet side meets the top cover. Do not place the level on the top of the lid. Using these surfaces will result in the washer being unlevel.

Lower Raise

WARNING

caution

yy Do not load items higher than the top edge of the tub. Failure to follow this caution can result in leakage or damage to fabrics.

yy Use the Bedding cycle for buoyant or nonabsorbent items such as pillows or comforters. Failure to follow this caution can result in leakage.

yy If possible, do not wash any water-resistant items. If you must, please select the Waterproof cycle.

( i.e. Water resistant clothing, mattress covers, outdoor clothes, plastic mats etc.)

yy If waterproof material laundry is washed in a course other than Waterproof, it may result in injury or damage to the washer, clothes, walls, floor, and surrounding objects due to abnormal vibration.

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 different fabric types and/or soil levels can result in poor wash performance, color transfer, 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 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 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 – terry cloth towels.)

Fabric Care Labels

NOTE: Use the 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 tub as possible for optimal results. Always place buoyant items at the bottom of the tub. The washer will automatically detect the load size. Because of the highefficiency wash system, the water level may not completely cover the load.

1. For best performance, load clothes as shown.

Not this

LOADING THE WASHER

yCheck 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.

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

yPretreat heavily stained areas for best results.

yCombine large and small items in a load. Load large items first.

yLarge items should not be more than half of the total wash load.

yThe washer can be fully loaded, but the tub should not be tightly packed with items. The lid of the washer should close easily.

yTo 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.

yWaterproof items do wash or spin Waterproof cycle. (i.e. Water resistant clothing, mattress covers, outdoor clothes, plastic mats etc.)

yThe washer will not fill or operate with the lid open.

2.Load clothes loosely, and do not load clothes over the maximum guideline on the tub. Clothes need room to circulate in order to get clean.

Dispenser Drawer

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-Effi- ciency (HE) detergent with your washing machine. Either powdered or liquid detergent may be used.

Never exceed the manufacturer’s recommendations when adding detergent. Using too much detergent can result in detergent buildup in clothing and the washer.

When using liquid detergent, make sure the liquid detergent cup and insert are in place. Do not exceed the maximum fill line.

When using powdered detergent, remove the liquid detergent cup from the compartment. Powdered detergent will not dispense with the liquid detergent cup in place.

Liquid Bleach

Compartment

Liquid Bleach Compartment

The bleach dispenser is a separate compartment at the left front of the tub opening. This compartment holds liquid bleach, which is dispensed automatically at the proper time during the wash cycle. Any liquid remaining in the dispenser at the end of the cycle is water, not bleach.

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

yy Always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations when adding bleach. Never add more than one cup and do not exceed the maximum fill line since this can cause the bleach to be dispensed immediately, resulting in damage to fabrics. Using too much bleach can damage fabrics.

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

yy Do not use color-safe bleach or Oxi products in the same cycle with liquid chlorine bleach.

danger

Do NOT mix chlorine bleach with ammonia or acids, such as vinegar or rust/scale remover. Mixing chemicals like these can produce a lethal gas, resulting in severe injury or death.

Fabric Softener Compartment

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

Never exceed the manufacturer’s recommendations when adding softener. Using too much fabric softener can result in damage to clothing and the washer. Either powdered or liquid fabric softener.

yy 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.

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

yyNever pour fabric softener directly onto the load or into the tub.

DETERGENT AND DISPENSER USE

A WORD ABOUT DETERGENTS

High-Efficiency (HE) detergents produce fewer suds, dissolve more efficiently 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.

Powder

Detergent

Detergent

<![if ! IE]>

<![endif]>ENGLISH

16 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

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

The normal amount of HE detergent needed, for average loads, is less than ½ 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.

Designed To Use Only

High-Efficiency (He)

Detergent

IMPORTANT: Your washing machine is designed for use with only High-Efficiency (HE) detergents. HE detergents are formulated specifically for High-Effi- ciency washers and contain suds-reducing agents. Always look for the HE symbol when purchasing detergent.

IMPORTANT: Not all detergents are the same. Pay careful attention to the amount of detergent used to avoid oversudsing, 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 the one supplied by the manufacturer of the detergent you are using. Never use more than the maximum amount of detergent recommended by the manufacturer. A full scoop or measure of detergent should only be used for very large and heavily soiled loads. Using too much detergent can result in detergent buildup in the washer and in your clothes.

Always measure the detergent amount. While HE detergents are designed for this type of washing machine, be careful when measuring the detergent. For most normal loads, no more than 1/4 to 1/2 a cap or scoop of HE detergent should be used.

NOTE:

yy 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. yy Detergents designated as HE compatible may not

provide optimal results.

Using the Softener and Detergent Dispenser

To add detergent, and fabric softener to the automatic dispenser:

1.Open the dispenser drawer.

2.Load the laundry products into the appropriate compartments.

3.Close the drawer before starting the cycle.

4.If using fabric softener on NORMAL cycle, press the Fabric Softener button or select the EXTRA RINSE option.

NOTE: It is normal for a small amount of water to remain in the bleach dispenser and softener compartment 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 your washer or dryer. Wipe up any spills immediately. These products can damage the finish and controls.

Using the Liquid Bleach Dispenser

Bleach

The bleach dispenser automatically dilutes and dispenses liquid bleach at the proper time in the wash cycle.

1.Check clothing care labels for special instructions.

2.Measure liquid bleach carefully, following instructions on the bottle. High-efficiency washers use less water, so less bleach is needed. One half cup is enough for most loads.

3.Carefully pour the pre-measured amount of bleach directly into the bleach dispenser. If you are using powdered bleach of any kind, pour it directly into the tub before adding the laundry. Never add powdered bleach to the liquid bleach dispenser.

yy Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto clothes or into the tub.

yy Do not pour powdered bleach into bleach dispenser. yy Do not place laundry items on top of the bleach dispenser when loading and unloading the washer.

yy Always measure and pour bleach carefully. 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 bleach being dispensed immediately, which can result in damage to the clothes in the washer.

22 HOW TO USE

WASH CYCLES

Wash cycles are designed for the best wash performance for each type of load. Select the cycle that best matches the load contents for maximum wash performance and fabric care. Turn the knob to the desired cycle. When you select a wash cycle, the light for the corresponding wash cycle will turn on. See page 19, OPERATING THE WASHER, for more details on operating methods.

Normal

Use this cycle to wash all normal items, except delicate fabrics such as wool or silk.

NOTE: Pressing the START/PAUSE button without selecting a cycle will cause the NORMAL cycle to begin immediately using the default settings.

Heavy Duty

This cycle is for washing heavily soiled laundry using more powerful wash motions.

NOTE: When washing large loads, in order to deliver the best performance, there will be brief periods of 2 minutes or more without agitation. These soak periods are part of the cycle's design, and are normal.

Bedding

This cycle is for washing blankets or bulky items.

NOTE: Do not use this cycle to wash a mixed load of bedding and non-bedding items.

Sanitary

This wash cycle reduces 99.9% bacteria on laundry through high temperature.

Allergiene™

This cycle is a powerful, high temperature cycle designed specifically to reduce certain allergens.

NOTE:

yySelecting the ALLERGIENE™ cycle automatically incorporates steam into the wash cycle.

yyThe ALLERGIENE™ cycle can significantly reduce allergens in bedding and clothing.

yyThe ALLERGIENE™ cycle helps reduce dust mite populations and helps reduce allergens. Due to the higher energy and temperatures used, the ALLERGIENE™ cycle is not recommended for wool, silk, leather, or any other delicate or temperature-sensitive items

Bright Whites™

This cycle is for washing white items only.

Tub Clean

Use this cycle to clean the tub of your washing machine.

Pre Wash+

Normal

Use this cycle to prewash stains without needing to hand-wash. Prompt treatment helps to prevent stains from setting or odors from developing.

Perm.Press

This cycle is for washing items such as wrinkle-free clothes or tablecloths to minimize wrinkles.

Waterproof

This cycle is used for washing waterproof material.

NOTE:

yyDo not use any other wash cycle to wash waterproof fabrics. ( i.e. Water resistant clothing, mattress covers, outdoor clothes, plastic mats etc.) yyDo not use this cycle to wash a mixed load of

waterproof and non-waterproof items.

yyUse only the waterproof cycle, after checking the washing instruction label on the fabric.

yy Do not wash other fabrics using the waterproof cycle.

WARNING

yyIf waterproof material laundry is washed in a course other than Waterproof, it may result in injury or damage to the washer, clothes, walls, floor, and surrounding objects due to abnormal vibration.

Delicates

This cycle is for washing lingerie or sheer and lacy clothes which can easily be damaged.

Towels

Use this cycle for washing towels, shirts, jeans and mixed loads.

Speed Wash

Use the Speed Wash cycle to quickly wash lightly soiled clothing and small loads. For high wash and rinse efficiency, washing small loads of 2-3 lightly soiled garments is recommended.

NOTE: Use very little detergent in this cycle. If you want additional rinsing, you can add extra rinses by using the Extra Rinse button.

Downloaded

SPECIAL DRAIN 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 water will drain automatically after several minutes of inactivity. This helps keep children safe by reducing the possibility of water remaining in the tub.

Any water remaining in the tub will automatically drain 4 minutes after the washer has shut off. If the washer is paused and the START/PAUSE button is not pressed within 60 minutes, the washer will shut off and all cycle settings will be lost. And any water remaining in the tub will be drained.

The washer can be turned on or restarted any time before the drain begins. However, once the washer begins to drain, all controls and functions will be disabled until the water has been completely drained and the washer shuts off.
