9. To test and to clean your washer, measure 1/2 the detergent

manufacturer’s recommended amount of High Efficiency (HE) detergent for a medium-size load. Pour the detergent into the detergent dispenser. Select NORMAL and then press START/ PAUSE. Allow the washer to complete one whole cycle.

Use only HE High Efficiency detergent.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Your new front-loading high efficiency washer, was designed to conserve resources and lower your water and energy bills. The washer is designed to determine and then provide the amount of water needed for the best performance. The time of operation may be greater for this new system than for a conventional washer.

Electronic Controls

Flexible electronic controls are easy to use whether you are a beginner or an expert.

Auto Water Level

Adjusting to the size of the load, this feature allo

ws the washer to use the minimal amount of water needed to clean and rinse the clothes. With a low water level, you can obtain the same results. Because only the required amount of water is used, the washer saves energy, too. You can obtain the same washing results for ! small and large load sizes.

Larger Load Size

Since there is no agitator, you can wash larger, bulkier items such ! as an average size sleeping bag. You are also able to wash more clothes at one time, which means fewer loads. You can wash a pillow or a large stuffed teddy bear.

Suspension System

To reduce washer “walk” and “off-balance” conditions, your new washer combines:

■ 2 Springs to isolate vibration

■ 3 Shock absorbers at the washer base to minimize movement

Stainless Steel Drum

The stainless steel drum eliminates corrosion and enables higher spin speeds for more water extraction, reducing drying time.

Adaptive Variable Speed Motor

The motor adapts to the load size and to the cycle s

elected to give the optimum cleaning, rinsing, and spinning conditions. The motor can handle slow speeds needed for delicate items and is powerful enough to drive an average clothes load up to high-speed spin.

Spin Speeds

This washer automatically selects the spin speed based on the cycle selected. For some cycles, the default spin speed can be changed if desired. This washer offers up to three different spin speed choices.

Add Clothes

This option is available in all wash cycles except R

inse, Drain & Spin, and Clean Washer with AFFRESH™ cycle. When this option is available at the beginning of the cycle, the Add Clothes status light will illuminate for the first 7 minutes. This washer allows a 7-minute period in which other garments may be added to a load.

Dynamic Balance

A precision balancing system allows the washer to reach highspeed spins. The washer spins faster so that clothes coming out of the washer will have less moisture than with traditional top load machines. In addition, if the Dynamic Balance system detects offbalance loads during spinning, it redistributes the clothes so that they are evenly balanced.

Smart Dispensers

The three compartments in the dispenser allow loading of all laundry products before the washer is started. The products ! will be dispensed into the wash at the optimal time for highperformance cleaning. The bleach release system is included ! in the detergent advantage system. The detergent is added at ! the beginning of the cycle, and the bleach is added after the enzymes have had a chance to do their cleaning. The fabric ! softener is dispensed in the rinse cycle or in the 2nd Rinse, if selected. The Detergent Advantage System Dispenser tray is ! easily removed for cleaning.

Use only HE High Efficiency detergent.

Starting Your Washer

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to

persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before operating this appliance.

The following is a guide to using your washer. Please refer to specific sections of this manual for more detailed information.

Do not store laundry products on the top surfac

e of this washer.

Vibration is normal during operation.

Using the Proper Detergent

Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package for this type of detergent will be marked “HE” or “High Efficiency.” This wash system, along with less water, will create too much sudsing with a regular non-HE detergent. Using regular detergent will likely result in washer errors, longer cycle times, and reduced rinsing performance. It may also result in component failures and noticeable mold or mildew. HE detergents are made to produce the right amount of suds for the best performance. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to determine the amount of detergent to use.

Use only HE High Efficiency detergent.

First Wash Cycle Without Laundry

Before washing clothes for the first time, if not completed during ! the final installation step, choose the Normal cycle and run it without clothes. Use only HE High Efficiency detergent. Use 1/2 ! the manufacturer’s recommended amount for a medium-size load. This initial cycle serves to ensure the interior is clean before washing clothes.

For All Wash Cycles

1. To load washer!

Open the washer door by pulling on the

handle. Sort laundry according to color and type of fabric. Place a load of sorted clothes in the washer. Do not overload washer. Overloading ! can cause poor cleaning.

■ Always empty pockets. Small items can be caught within !

the washer resulting in noise or plugging the pump.

■ The washer can be fully loaded, but not tightly packed.

Washer door should close easily.

■ Mix large and small items. Avoid washing a single it

em.

Load evenly.

■ Wash small items such as infant socks in mesh garment bags.

It is recommended that more than one garment bag be used and that each garment bag be filled with equal amounts of material.

■ When unloading garments, occasionally check under the

rubber rim at the front of the tub for small items.

2. Close the w

asher door by pushing it firmly until the lock clicks. After a lock check at the beginning of the cycle, the washer door will remain locked during the wash cycle.

NOTE: After any wash cycle is completed, the door must be opened and then closed before a new cycle can begin. The ! door can be opened only if Start/P

ause is selected while the ! Add Clothes light is illuminated or if the cycle has been canceled.

See “To cancel a cycle” in the “Changing Cycles !

and Options” section.

3. Open the dispenser drawer and add laundry products to the

detergent, bleach, or fabric softener compartments. Close drawer slowly to avoid spills. See “Using the Dispenser.”

4. T

urn on the washer by pressing POWER/CANCEL or by turning the cycle selector. The indicator light for the selected cycle will illuminate. When selecting a Wash Cycle, the preset Wash Temp and Spin Speed for the selected cycle will illuminate. These settings provide the recommended fabric care for the selected cycle. See “Cycles.”

5. Select the desired

Options. Not all Options are available with all

cycles. See “Options.”

6. If desired,

select the Cycle Signal button. The signal is helpful when you are washing items that should be removed from the washer as soon as it stops. Press Cycle Signal On, if no signal is desired, Press Cycle Signal Off. Light will not be illuminated.

7. To begin the wash cycle immediately! Press and hold START/PAUSE (for approximately 1 second).

■ You will hear the door locking, unlocking, and locki

again. This is normal.

■ If you do not press START/PAUSE within 5 minutes of

choosing a cycle, the washer automatically shuts off.

■ When the wash cycle is complete, the DONE status light

illuminates, the door unlocks, and the wash load can be removed from the washer. The washer powers down automatically 5 minutes after the cycle is complete and the DONE light goes off until door is opened. To power down the washer manually after the wash cycle is complete, press POWER/CANCEL once.

8. To begin the wash cycle later!

Press DELAY START until the desired dela

y time (in hours) is displayed. Press START/PAUSE. The indicator will remain illuminated during the desired time selected.

IMPORTANT: Whe

n delaying a cycle, use only powdered detergents in the main wash compartment since liquid detergents may seep out of the compartment during Delay, before the wash cycle begins.

Using the Dispenser

Your new washer has a dispenser drawer with three separate compartments for your laundry products—detergent, liquid chlorine bleach, and liquid fabric softener. Laundry products are diluted and dispensed automatically at the proper time during the wash cycle, making it unnecessary for you to return to the washer during the cycle to add them.

It is normal for small amounts of water to remain in the dispensers w

hen the wash cycle is complete.

Do not put laundry products directly into the wash tub. Always use the proper dispensers when adding laundry products.

Choosing the Right Detergent

Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package for this type of detergent will be marked “HE” or “High Efficiency.”

This wash system, along with less water, will create too much sudsing with a regular non-HE detergent. Using regular detergent will likely result in washer errors, longer cycle times, and reduced rinsing performance. It may also result in component failures and noticeable mold or mildew. HE detergents are made to produce the right amount of suds for the best performance. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to determine the amount of detergent to use.

Use only HE High Efficiency detergent.

To fill dispenser compartments

1. Pull out the dispenser drawer.

2. Add the desired laundry products to the proper compartment.

3. Pu

sh in the dispenser drawer slowly and completely (to avoid a

spill).

This cycle combines high and medium tumbling action, with MaxExtract™ spin speed and additional water in last rinse to flush excess dirt from the load. For better results, use this cycle combined with the stain treat option.

Whites

This cycle is especially designed for cleaning loads of soiled ! white fabrics with the addition of chlorine bleach. Hot washing temperatures assure optimal bleach activity. An additional rinse provides optimal rinse performance to avoid chlorine residues on your laundry. This cycle combines fast-speed tumbling, longer wash time, and ex high spin speed to shorten drying time. It also includes an 2nd Rinse option, which is automatic with Whites cycle.

LAUNDRY TIPS

Preparing clothes for washing

Follow these recommendations to help you prolong the life of your garments.

■ Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package for this type of

detergent will be marked “HE” or “High Efficiency.” This wash system, along with less water, will create too much sudsing with a regular non-HE detergent. Using regular detergent will likely result in washer errors, longer cycle times and reduced rinsing performance. It may also result in component failures and noticeable mold or mildew. HE detergents are made to produce the right amount of suds for the best performance. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to determine the amount of detergent to use.

Use only HE High Efficiency detergent.

■ Close zippers, snaps, and hooks to avoid snagging other items.

Remove pins, buckles, and other hard objects to avoid scratching the washer interior. Remove non-washable trim and ornaments.

■ Empty pockets. Small items can be caught with the washer

resulting in noise or plugging the pump.

■ Turn down cuffs; brush away lint and dirt.

■ Turn wool and synthetic knits inside out to avoid pilling.

■ Tie strings and sashes so they will not tangle.

■ Mend tears, loose hems, and seams.

■ Treat spots and stains.

■ Stained or wet garments should be washed promptly fo

r best

results.

■ Mix large and small items, avoid washing single items, and load

evenly.

■ Wash small items, such as infant socks, in a mesh garment bag.

To create a balanced load it is recommended that more than one garment bag be used, and that each garment bag be filled with equal amounts of material.

NOTE: If y

ou are washing only small items, it is recommended that more than one mesh garment bag be used, and that each garment bag be filled with equal amounts of material.

Sorting

■ Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled ones, even if

they would normally be washed together. Separate lint-givers (towels, chenille) from lint-takers (corduroy, synthetics, permanent press). When possible, turn lint-givers inside out.

■ Separate dark colors from light colors, colorfast items from

noncolorfast items.

■ Sort by fabric and construction (sturdy cottons, knits, delicate

items).

Unloading

■ Remove clothes from washer after the cycle is comple

ted. Metal objects such as zippers, snaps, and buckles may rust if left in the washer basket for a long time.

■ When unloading garments, occasionally check under the

colored seal at the front of the tub for small items.
