Choosing the Proper
Location

Check the following requirements for the install
location before installing the washer.

• Allow for sufficient space between the walls and
the washer for installation.

• Make sure that the floor is clean, dry and free of
dust, dirt, water and oil so the leveling feet
cannot slide easily. Leveling feet that can move
or slide on the floor can contribute to excess
vibration and noise.

• If the floor has too much flex, reinforce it to
make it more rigid. If the floor is not solid, it may
cause severe vibration and noise.

Power Outlet

The power outlet must be within 60 inches (1.5 m)
of either side of the washer.

• Position the washer so that the outlet and plug
are easily accessible.

• Do not overload the outlet with more than one
appliance.

• The outlet must be grounded in accordance with
current electrical wiring codes and regulations.

• Use a time-delay fuse or circuit breaker.

• It is the personal responsibility and obligation of
the washer owner to have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.

• The washer must be installed on firm flooring to
minimize vibration during the spin cycle.
Concrete flooring is best, but a wood floor is
sufficient, provided it is built to FHA standards.

• The floor under the washer must not slope more
than 1 inch (2.5 cm) from front to back or side to
side.

• Installing on carpeting and soft tile surfaces is
not recommended.

• Never install the washer on a platform or weakly
supported structure.

Floor Installation

To ensure sufficient clearance for water inlet
hoses, drain hose and airflow, allow minimum
clearances of at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) at the sides
and 4 inches (10 cm) behind the washer. Be sure
to allow for wall, door, or floor moldings that may
increase the required clearances.

Minimum vertical space from floor to overhead
shelves, cabinets, ceilings, etc., is 58 inches (147

cm).

Flooring

• To minimize noise and vibration, install the
washer on a level, solidly constructed floor
capable of supporting the washer without
flexing or bouncing.

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 heavy or
sturdy fabric types. Washing heavy fabrics with
delicates can result in poor wash performance for
the heavy 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

18 OPERATION

Loading the Washer

General Tips

• Check and empty pockets. Paper clips, coins,
matches, etc. can damage clothing and the
washer.

• Close zippers and hooks, and tie drawstrings to
prevent snagging or tangling of clothes.

• Pretreat heavily stained areas for best results.

• Brush off heavy soil, dust, and hair from items
before washing. Excess dirt or sand can abrade
other fabrics and lead to poor wash
performance.

• Combine large and small items in the tub. Load
large items first. Large items should not be more
than half of total load.

• For best results, load dry items only. If washing
very wet items, wring out excess water before
loading, or run a Spin Only cycle to extract
excess water before adding detergent and
starting the desired cycle.

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

Bulky Items

• Do not wash entire pillows or cushions. Remove
pillow or cushion inserts and wash the covers
only.

•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 best performance.

• Bulky items should be placed as far down in the
tub as possible for best performance. Always
place buoyant items at the bottom of the tub.
The washer will automatically detect the load
size. Because of the high efficiency wash system,
the water level may not completely cover the
load.

Small Items

• Do not wash a single small item. Add enough
similar items to the load to prevent an out-of­balance load.

• Wash small, light items in a mesh bag. Small
items can get caught in the impeller at the
bottom of the tub, and brassiere hooks can
damage other items or the tub.

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

• Do not overload the tub. Clothes should fit
loosely in the tub under the maximum fill line
Loading clothes over the fill line may result in
damage to clothing and the washer.

- Do not press down on items while stacking

them in the tub.

- Load clothes loosely, and do not overfill the

tub. Clothes need room to circulate in order to
get clean.

General Tips for Models with an
Impeller

If the appliance uses a low profile rotating hub in
the drum, follow these instructions when loading
the washer.

• For best performance, load clothes as shown.

a.

• Wash thick, bulky items individually. Heavy
blankets, comforters, bedspreads, or pet beds
can get tangled or cause an unbalanced load if
combined with other items.

19OPERATION

CAUTION

NOTE

Adding Cleaning Products

About Detergent Use

This washer is designed for use with only HE (High­Efficiency) detergents.

• HE detergents produce fewer suds, dissolve
more efficiently to improve washing and rinsing
performance, and help to keep the interior of
the washer clean. Using detergent that is not HE
may cause oversudsing and unsatisfactory
performance which could result in error codes,
cycle failure, and washer damage.

• Detergents designated as HE-compatible may
not provide optimal results.

• For proper wash performance, always measure
detergent using the measuring device provided
by the detergent manufacturer. For an average
load, use less than half of the recommended
maximum. Use less detergent for soft water,
light soil, or smaller loads.

• Use extra care when measuring 2X and 3X
concentrated detergents because even a small
amount of extra detergent can lead to problems.

• Never use more than the maximum amount of
detergent recommended by the manufacturer.
Using too much detergent can lead to
oversudsing, poor rinsing, detergent buildup in
clothing, and residue buildup that can contribute
to odors in the washer.

• Do not use more than one single-use detergent
pack or detergent tablet in the washer. Using too
much detergent may cause oversudsing and
unsatisfactory performance. Reduce detergent
amount or add an extra rinse if detergent
residue is left on fabrics. To add an extra rinse,
select the Extra Rinse option.

Single-Use Detergent Packs / Gel or
Tablet Detergents

Place liquid or powdered detergent packs, or gel
or tablet detergents in the tub before loading
laundry. Do not place these detergents in the
dispenser.

About the Dispensers

The automatic dispenser consists of two
compartments which hold:

• Liquid fabric softener

• Liquid or powdered detergent for main wash

• Do not place or store laundry products, such as
detergent, bleach, or liquid fabric softener, on
top of your washer. These products can damage
the washer’s finish and controls.

• Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations
when adding cleaning products.

Using the Detergent and Softener
Dispenser Drawer

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

1 Open the dispenser drawer.

Fabric Softener Compartment

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

• Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Using too
much fabric softener may stain clothes.

• Dilute concentrated fabric softeners with warm
water.

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

3 Gently close the detergent dispenser drawer

before starting the cycle.

• Slamming the drawer closed may result in
the detergent overflowing into another
compartment or dispensing into the drum
earlier than programmed.

• Be careful not to get a hand caught in the
drawer while closing.

• It is normal for a small amount of water to
remain in the dispenser compartments at
the end of the cycle.

Main Wash Detergent Compartment

This compartment holds laundry detergent for the
main wash cycle. Either powdered or liquid
detergent may be used in this compartment.

• The detergent is added to the load at the
beginning of the cycle. Always use HE (High­Efficiency) detergent with your washer.

• Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Using too
much detergent can result in detergent buildup
in clothing and the washer.

• Liquid or powdered color-safe bleach may be
added to the main wash compartment with
detergent of the same type. Do not mix liquids
and powders.

• When using liquid detergent, make sure the
liquid detergent cup and insert are in place.

• When using powdered detergent, remove the
insert and liquid detergent cup from the
dispenser. Powdered detergent will not dispense
with the liquid detergent cup and insert in place.

Using the Liquid Bleach Dispenser

The bleach dispenser is a separate compartment
at the left front of the tub opening.

• 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.

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

• Do not place laundry items on top of the bleach
dispenser when loading and unloading the
washer.

• Never add more than one cup of bleach and do
not exceed the maximum fill line since this can
cause the bleach to be dispensed immediately.
Using too much bleach can damage fabrics.

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

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

1 Check clothing care labels for special

instructions.

2 Measure liquid bleach carefully, following the

instructions on the bottle.

• HE (High-Efficiency) washers use less water,
so less bleach is needed. One half cup is
enough for most loads.

21OPERATION

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.

Automatic Bleach Dispenser

On some models, the bleach dispenser is
connected to the inlet valve. The bleach is
automatically diluted and dispensed at the proper
time in the wash cycle.

• The dispenser is activated twice to ensure
complete dispensing of the bleach. Any liquid
remaining in the dispenser at the end of the
cycle is water, not bleach.

Immediate Bleach Dispenser

On some models, when you pour the bleach into
the bleach dispenser, the bleach is immediately
added to the tub as it fills with water, safely
diluting the bleach.

• The dispenser cover cannot be removed. To
clean the cover, wipe it with a damp paper towel.
