to tevel the washer. Extending the leveting feet
more than necessary can cause the washer to
vibrate.
Before installing the washer, make sure that the
floor is dean, dry and free of dust, dirt, water
and oil so the washer feet cannot slide easily.
Leveling feet that move or siide 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.

SORTING WASH LOADS
• Do not load items higher than the top edge of
the tub. Failure to fo_low this caution can result
in leakage or damage to fabrics.
• Use the BULKY/BEDDING cycle for buoyant or
nonabsorbent items such as pillows or comfort-
er& Failure to foffow this caution can result in
leakage.
• If possible, do not wash any water-resistant
items, ff you must, please select the Bulky/Bed-
ding cycle.
GROUPING SIMILAR ITEMS
For the best washing results, and to reduce the pos-
sibility of damage to clothing, care should be taken
to sort the clothing into loads that are made up of
similar item&
Mixing different fabric types and/or soil bveis can
result in poor wash performance, color transfer, dis =
coloration, fabric damage or iinting. Fabrics should
be sorted into groups as described below
COLORS
Sort articles by color Wash dark clothes together
in a separate load from tight colors or whites. Mix-
ing dark clothes with ligh_ clothes can result in dye
transfer or discoloration of the lighter clothes.
SOIL LEVEL
Wash heavily soiled clothing together_ Washing
iightly soiied clothing in the same load with heaw
ity soiled clothing could result in poor wash perfor-
mance for the lightly soiled clothing.
FABRIC TYPE
De_icate articles should not be mixed with heavier
or sturdier fabric types. Washing heavier fabrics in
a delicate ioad can result in poor wash performance
for the heavier fabrics and possible damage to the
delicate fabrics.
LINT TYPE
Some fabrics attract and bind lint to them while oth-
ers give off lint in the laundry process. Avoid mixing
these Hnt collectors and lint producers in the same
load Mixing these fabrics will result in pilting and
linting on the lint collectors (For example, lint collec-
tor - knit sweater; lint producer - terry cloth towels)

items first.
• Large items should net be more than half of the total
wash bad.
• 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 toad, do not wash single
items. Add one or two simiiar items to the load. Large,
bulky items, suchas a blanket, comforter, or bedspread,

items and should be sorted into a separate wash load for
optimal results
Bulky items should be placed asfar down in the tub as pos-
sible for optimal results, Always placebuoyant items at the
bottom of the tub. The washer wiiI automatically detect the
load size. Because of the high-efficiency wash system, the
water bye! may not completely cover the load.

DETERGENT AND DISPENSER USE
A WORD ABOUT DETERGENTS
High Ef ficiency (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 faiiure, and
machine damage
Liquid Powde_
Detergent Detergent
16 PREPARATION
For proper wash performance, always measure the
detergent using the measuring device provided by
the detergent manufacturer:
The norma_ amount of HE detergent needed, for
average Ioads, is less than 1/2of the recommended
maximum, Use Jess 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-Effio
eiency washers and contain suds-reducing agents.
Always }ook for the HE symbol when purchasing
detergent.
IMPORTANT: Not aiI 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 detergen¢ 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 heaviiy soiled loads. Using too much de-
tergent can result in detergent buildup in the washer
and in your clothes.
Always measure the detergent amount. Wh_le 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 of a
cap 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 ex-
tra can contribute to the problems mentioned above,
• Detergents designated as HE-compatible may not
provide optimai resuk&
USING THE SOFTENER AND DETERGENT
DISPENSER
To add detergent, bleach, 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 COTTON/NORMAL or
HEAVY DUTY cycles, press the FABRIC SOFT-
ENER button or select the EXTRA RINSE option.
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 prod-
ucts, such as detergent, Meach, or iiquid fabric soft_
ener, 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
The bleach dispenser automatically dilutes and dis-
penses {iquid b_each at the proper time in the wash
cycle.
1. Check clothing care labels for special instructions.
2. Measure liquid bleach carefully, following instruc-
tions on the bott}e. High-efficiency washers use
less water, so less bleach is needed. One half cup is
enough for most _oads
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,
• Never pour undiluted tiquid chlorine bleach directly
onto clothes or into the tub
- Do not pour powdered bleach into the bleach dis-
penser.
. Do not p_ace laundry items on top of the bleach dis-
penser when _oading and unloading the washer.
- Always measure and pour b_each carefully. Avoid
overfilling or splashing when adding bleach to the
dispenser, The maximum capacity of the bleach dis-
penser is one cup of bleach per wash cycle, Overfi!P
}ng could result in bteach being dispensed immedi-
ately, which can result in damage to the clothes in the
washer,
