WASHER SAFETY

WHAT’S NEW UNDER THE LID?

Cleaning with Less Water

Washplate

Traditional agitator-style

Low-water washer

washer

 

The most striking difference in your new washer is the low-water washplate wash system. The washer automatically adjusts the water level to the load size—no water level selector is needed.

Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the washplate. Do not load garments directly over the center of the washplate; when loaded, the center of the washplate should be visible.

As the washer dampens and moves the load, the level of the garments will settle in the basket. This is normal, and does not indicate that more garments should be added.

IMPORTANT: You will not see a washer basket full of water as with your past agitator-style washer. It is normal for some of the load to be above the water line.

INTELLIFILL™

Water Level Control

Once you start the cycle, the lid will lock, and the washer will begin the sensing process to determine the correct water level for the load. You will find a step-by-step description in the “Cycle Status Lights” section.

You will hear the motor turn the basket in short pulses to thoroughly wet the load. This low-water wash method uses less water and energy compared to a traditional agitator-style washer.

Auto Temperature Control

Auto Temperature Control (ATC) regulates incoming hot and cold water, blending the temperatures for optimal

and consistent cleaning. The ATC is automatically turned on when a cycle is selected.

Choosing the Right Detergent

Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package will be marked “HE” or “High Efficiency.” Low-water washing creates excessive sudsing with a regular non-HE detergent. Using regular detergent will likely result in 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 High Efficiency (HE) detergent.

Concentrated Cleaning

Low-water cleaning means concentrated cleaning. Rather than diluting detergent as done in an agitator-style washer, this washer delivers the detergent directly to the soils.

Normal Sounds You Can Expect

At different stages of the wash cycle, you may hear sounds and noises that are different from those of your previous washer. For example, you may hear a clicking and hum at the beginning of the cycle, as the lid lock goes through a self-test. There

will be different kinds of humming and whirring sounds as the washplate moves the load. And sometimes, you may hear nothing at all, as the washer determines the correct water level for your load or allows time for garments to soak.

• Faster spin speeds mean shorter dry times, but may increase wrinkling in your load.
• Slower spin speeds mean less wrinkling, but will leave your load more damp.

7LID LOCK INDICATOR

This light indicates that the lid is locked and cannot be opened. If you need to open the lid, press START/PAUSE. The lid will

unlock once the washer movement has stopped. This may take several minutes if the load was spinning at high speed.

Press START/PAUSE again to restart the cycle.

8 CYCLE STATUS LIGHT INDICATORS

The Cycle Status Lights show the progress of a cycle. At each stage of the process, you may notice sounds or pauses that are different from traditional washers.

FILL

When the Start/Pause button is pressed, the washer will add a small amount of water to the load, then pause for a few seconds. The lid will then lock and the washer will continue to fill.

WASH

You will hear the motor and washplate moving the load. Unlike traditional washers, the load is not covered with water. Low-water cleaning means concentrated cleaning. Rather than diluting detergent as done in an agitator-style washer, this washer delivers the detergent directly to the soils. The motor sounds may change at different stages in the cycle. The wash time is determined by the selected Soil Level.

RINSE

You will hear sounds similar to the wash cycle as the washer rinses and moves the load. You may hear the motor turning on briefly (short hum) to move the basket while filling. Fabric softener will be added if the Fabric Softener option was selected. Some cycles use spray rinsing.

SPIN

The washer spins the load at increasing speeds for proper water removal, based on the selected cycle and spin speed.

DONE

Once the cycle is complete, this light will come on. Remove the load promptly for best results.

ADD A GARMENT

You may place additional clothing in the wash when

the Add a Garment indicator light is glowing without sacrificing wash performance. Press START/Pause once. The Lid Lock light will turn off. Open the washer lid, add garments and close the lid. Press START/Pause to restart.

CLEAN WASHER REMINDER

USING YOUR WASHER

1. Sort and prepare your laundry

2. Load laundry into washer

Empty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small object can pass under the washplate and become trapped, causing unexpected sounds.

Sort items by recommended cycle, water temperature, and colorfastness.

Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled.

Separate delicate items from sturdy fabrics.

Do not dry garments if stains remain after washing; heat can set stains into fabric.

Treat stains promptly.

Close zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings and sashes.

Remove non-washable trim and ornaments.

Mend rips and tears to avoid further damage to items during washing.

Helpful Tips:

When washing water-proof or water-resistant items, load evenly. See “Cycle Guide” for tips and more information on using the Bulky cycle.

Use mesh bags to help avoid tangling when washing delicate or small items.

Turn knits inside out to avoid pilling. Separate lint-takers from lint-givers. Synthetics, knits, and corduroy fabrics will pick up lint from towels, rugs, and chenille fabrics.

NOTE: Always read and follow fabric care labels instructions to avoid damage to your garments.

Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the washplate. Do not load garments directly over the center

of the washplate; when loaded, the center of the washplate should be visible. Try mixing different sized garments to reduce tangling.

IMPORTANT: Garments need to move freely for best cleaning and to reduce wrinkling and tangling.

Using Laundry Product Dispensers

3. Add HE detergent to dispenser

Detergent dispenser

Add a measured amount of HE detergent into detergent dispenser.

IMPORTANT: Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package will be marked “HE” or “High Efficiency.” Low-water washing creates excessive sudsing with a regular non-HE detergent. Using regular detergent will likely result in 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.

NOTE: If using an Oxi laundry boost product, add to the detergent dispenser.

HELPFUL TIP: See “Washer Maintenance” for information on recommended method of cleaning washer dispensers.

4. Add liquid chlorine bleach to dispenser

5. Add fabric softener to dispenser

Fabric softener dispenser

Pour a measured amount of liquid fabric softener into dispenser; always

follow manufacturer’s directions for correct amount of fabric softener based on your load size. Then select Fabric Softener option.

IMPORTANT: Fabric Softener option must be selected to ensure proper distribution at correct time in cycle. Do not overfill or dilute. Overfilling dispenser will cause fabric softener to immediately dispense into washer.

If Extra Rinse option is selected, fabric softener will be dispensed in the last rinse.

NOTE: Do not use liquid fabric softener dispenser balls in this washer. They will not dispense correctly.

Starting Your Washer

6. Press POWER/CANCEL to turn on washer

Liquid chlorine bleach dispenser

Do not overfill, dilute, or use more than 3/4 cup (180 mL). Do not use color-safe bleach or Oxi products in the same cycle with liquid chlorine bleach.

Make sure the dispenser drawer is closed completely, then press POWER/CANCEL to turn on the washer.

7. Select cycle

9. Select cycle options

Turn cycle knob to choose your wash cycle. The indicator for Estimated Time Remaining will light up with a cycle time. For more information, see

“Control Panel”.

8. Select cycle modifiers

Select any other cycle options you may wish to add, if not previously set. Some cycles will automatically add certain options such as Extra Rinse. These may be turned off, if desired.

NOTE: Not all options are available with all cycles.

10. Press START/PAUSE to begin wash cycle

Press the START/PAUSE button to start the wash cycle. When the cycle has finished, the DONE indicator will light and the end of cycle signal will sound (if set). Promptly remove garments when cycle is done to prevent odor, reduce wrinkling, and rusting of metal hooks, zippers, and snaps.

If lid is left open for more than 10 minutes the water will pump out.

Once you select a cycle, the default settings for that cycle will be lit. Press the Modifier buttons to change the Soil Level, Spin Speed, and Wash/Rinse Temperature, if desired. Not all settings are available with all cycles.

WASHER MAINTENANCE

WATER INLET HOSES

Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk of hose failure. Periodically inspect and replace inlet hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found.

When replacing your inlet hoses, mark the date of replacement on the label with a permanent marker.

CLEANING YOUR WASHER

Keep your washer as clean and fresh as your clothes. To keep washer interior odor-free, follow this recommended monthly cleaning procedure:

1.Make sure the washer is empty.

2.Using recommended AFFRESH® washer cleaner, add one tablet to washer drum.

OR

If using liquid chlorine bleach, add 1 cup (250 mL) to liquid chlorine bleach dispenser.

IMPORTANT: Do not add detergent to CLEAN WASHER with AFFRESHcycle. Do not use more than recommended amount of bleach to avoid damaging product over time.

3.Close washer lid.

4.Press POWER/CANCEL.

5.Select CLEAN WASHER with AFFRESHcycle.

6.Press START/PAUSE. Water will pour into washer for a moment and pause, lid will lock, then cycle will continue.

NOTE: For best results, do not interrupt cycle. If cycle must be interrupted, press START/PAUSE twice and run a RINSE AND SPIN cycle to ensure cleaner or bleach have been rinsed from washer.

To clean exterior:

1.Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe up any spills.

2.Use all-purpose surface cleaner, if needed.

IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging the washer’s finish, do not use abrasive products.

CLEANING YOUR DISPENSERS

You may find laundry product residue leftover in your dispensers. To remove residue, wipe with a damp cloth and towel dry.

NON-USE AND VACATION CARE

Operate your washer only when you are home.

If moving, or not using your washer for a period of time, follow these steps:

1.Unplug or disconnect power to washer.

2.Turn off water supply to washer, to avoid flooding due to water pressure surge.

12

WINTER STORAGE CARE

IMPORTANT: To avoid damage, install and store washer where it will not freeze. Because some water may stay in hoses, freezing can damage washer. If storing or moving during freezing weather, winterize your washer.

To winterize washer:

1.Shut off both water faucets; disconnect and drain water inlet hoses.

2.Put 1 qt. (1 L) of R.V.-type antifreeze in basket and run washer on RINSE AND SPIN cycle for about 30 seconds to mix antifreeze and remaining water.
