The most striking difference in your new washer is the Dual
Wash Agitator System. In Auto-Sensing Water Level mode,
the washer automatically adjusts the water level to the optimal
amount for a High Efficiency wash of the detected load size. In
Deep Fill mode, the washer will fill to a pre-determined water level
independent of load size, allowing for greater flexibility in how you
wash your clothes.
Deep Fill
Auto-Sensing
Water Level
Automatic Load Size Sensing
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. This may take several minutes before water is added. You will
find a step-by-step description in the “Cycle Status Lights” section.
Initially the basket will start to spin prior to adding water, this is part
of the sensing process and is normal.
Choosing the Right Detergent
Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package will be marked
“HE” or “High Efficiency.” High Efficiency wash systems create
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 and do not go over the Max line on the dispenser. See
“Using Laundry Product Dispensers” for more information.
Use only High Efficiency (HE) detergent.
For best performance, it is recommended to load items in loose
heaps evenly around the agitator.
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 agitator moves the
load and as the basket is slowing down to stop. Sometimes, you
may hear nothing at all as the washer determines the correct water
level for your load or allows time for clothes to soak.
As the washer dampens and moves the load, the level of the
items will settle in the basket. This is normal, and does not
indicate that more items should be added.

CYCLE MODIFIERS
The following options may be added to most cycles.
TEMPERATURE
Wash temperature senses and maintains uniform water
temperatures by regulating incoming hot and cold water.
Select a wash temperature based on the type of fabric
and soils being washed. For best results and following the
garment label instructions, use the warmest wash water safe
for your fabric.
• On some models and cycles, warm and hot water may be
cooler than your previous washer.
• Even in a cold and cool water wash, some warm water
may be added to the washer to maintain a minimum
temperature.
SOIL LEVEL
Select the most suitable setting for your load. For heavily
soiled items, select Extra Heavy Soil Level for more wash
time. For lightly soiled items, select Extra Light Soil Level
for less wash time.
Lighter soil level setting will help reduce tangling
and wrinkling.
SPIN SPEED
Select the most suitable setting for your load.
7
CYCLE OPTIONS
The following options may be added to most cycles.
OXI
This washer is designed to dispense laundry boosters such
as oxygenated stain treaters and color-safe bleach at the
right time in the cycle for best cleaning performance. Do not
use laundry boosters and chlorine bleach in the same cycle.
EXTRA RINSE
This option can be used to automatically add a second rinse
to most cycles.
NOTE: If you want to Rinse and Spin, select the Drain & Spin
cycle; then touch to turn on the Extra Rinse option.
DEEP CLEAN w/Steam (depending on model)
This option adds additional soak and wash time to many
cycles to help remove tough stains, as well as a steam
boost for added cleaning power. Deep Clean w/Steam
uses a heater within the washer to maintain the selected
temperature setting throughout the wash period. Deep Clean
w/Steam may be selected as an option with other cycles.
DEEP CLEAN (depending on model)
This option provides enhanced cleaning action for tough
stains. It will add additional agitation and soak time to the
cycle.
AUDIO LEVEL
Use this option to adjust volume of the signal that sounds at
the end of cycle and key pad sounds. Touch once for low, a
second time for off, and a third time to loop back to high. A
higher signal is helpful in removing items as soon as cycle is
complete. Default setting is high.

CYCLE STATUS LIGHTS
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.
SENSING
When the START/Pause button is touched, the washer will
first perform a self-test on the lid lock mechanism. You will
hear a click, the basket will make a slight turn, and the lid will
unlock briefly before locking again.
Once the lid has locked the second time, the washer will use
short, slow spins to estimate the load size. These sensing
spins may take 2 to 3 minutes before water is added to the
load and you may hear the hum of these spins. If the sensing
light is on, then washer is working properly. You will hear the
9
8
5
motor turn the basket in short pulses to thoroughly wet the
load. The washer will then move the load briefly, pause to
allow water to soak in to the load, and resume adding water.
This process may repeat until the correct amount of water
has been added for the load. You may also hear water flowing
through the dispenser, adding detergent to the load.
NOTE: Avoid opening lid during sensing. The sensing
process will start over when the washer is restarted. The
sensing light may also come on during the Wash portion of
the cycle. This is normal.
WASH
You will hear the motor and agitator moving the load. Unlike
traditional washers, the load is not covered with water. 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. Fabric softener will be added if
the Timed Dispensers Fabric Softener option was selected.
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.
LID LOCKED
To allow for proper load sensing and spinning,
the lid will lock and the Lid Locked light will turn
on. This light indicates that the lid is locked and
cannot be opened.
If you need to open the lid, touch 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. Touch and hold START/
PAUSE button again for up to 3 seconds to restart the
cycle.
Avoid opening the lid during sensing. The sensing
process will start over when the washer is restarted.
DEEP FILL & AUTO SENSING WATER LEVEL

STATUS LIGHTS
DEEP FILL
The Deep Fill mode is OFF by default but can be turned
on for any cycle except Sanitize with Oxi & Steam or
Sanitize with Oxi (depending on model), Drain & Spin,
and Clean Washer.
When selecting Deep Fill, the Deep Fill light will turn on
and the Auto Sensing Water Level Status Lights will
turn off.
In Deep Fill mode, the washer will fill to a pre-determined
water level independent of load size, allowing for greater
flexibility in how you wash your clothes.
AUTO SENSING WATER LEVEL STATUS LIGHTS
When the machine is operating in Low Water Wash mode
(Deep Fill is OFF), these status lights provide feedback
on the load size that has been detected. When powering
up the unit in Low Water Wash mode, all three lights will
be lit. The lights will remain lit until the Sensing portion of
the cycle is complete. The machine will now illuminate the
light reflecting the detected load size.
NOTE: These lights only function when Deep Fill mode
is OFF.

USING YOUR WASHER
1.Sort and prepare your laundry2.Add laundry products
• Empty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small object
can pass under the agitator 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 items if stains remain after washing, because heat
can set stains into fabric.
• Treat stains promptly.
• Close zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings and sashes, and
remove non-washable trim and ornaments.
• Mend rips and tears to avoid further damage to items during
washing.
Helpful Tips:
• For best performance, use HE liquid detergent when washing
bulky items.
• When washing water-proof or water-resistant items, load
evenly. See “Cycle Guide” for tips and more information on
using the Bedding cycle.
• Use mesh garment 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.
Always read and follow fabric care label instructions to avoid
damage to your garments.
Single-dose laundry packest, color-safe bleach, or fabric softener
crystals can be added to the basket prior to adding laundry.
NOTE: Do not add clothes to washer basket prior to adding
laundry products. Always follow manufacturer’s instructions.
3.Load laundry into washer
For best performance, load items in
loose heaps evenly around the agitator.
Try mixing different sized items to
reduce tangling.
IMPORTANT: Items need to move
freely for best cleaning and to reduce wrinkling and tangling.

Using Laundry Product Dispensers
NOTE: Do not add single-dose laundry packets, color-safe bleach,
or fabric softener crystals to dispensers. They will not dispense
correctly. Add to the basket prior to adding laundry.
4.Add HE detergent
HE removable
detergent tray
Add a measured amount of HE liquid detergent
into detergent tray. This tray holds 3 oz. (89 mL).
If adding powder HE detergent remove inside tray.
Do not overfill tray – adding too much detergent may cause
detergent to be dispensed into the washer too early.
NOTE: Make sure tray is in drawer when using liquid detergent
and removed when using powder detergent. Do not go over the
Max line.
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.

on the label with a permanent marker.
NOTE: This washer does not include inlet hoses. See the
“Installation Instructions” for more information.
WASHER CARE
Recommendations to Help Keep Your Washer
Clean and Performing at its Best
1. Always use High Efficiency (HE) detergents and follow the
HE detergent manufacturer’s instructions regarding the
amount of HE detergent to use. Never use more than the
recommended amount because that may increase the rate
at which detergent and soil residue accumulate inside your
washer, which in turn may result in undesirable odor.
2. Use warm and hot wash water settings sometimes (not
exclusively cold water washes), because they do a better
job of controlling the rate at which soils and detergent
accumulate.
3. Always leave the washer lid open between uses to help dry
out the washer and prevent the buildup of odor-causing
residue.
Cleaning Your Top Loading Washer
Read these instructions completely before beginning the
routine cleaning processes recommended below. This Washer
Maintenance Procedure should be performed, at a minimum,
once per month or every 30 wash cycles, whichever occurs
sooner, to control the rate at which soils and detergent may
otherwise accumulate in your washer.
Cleaning the Inside of the Washer
To keep your washer odor-free, follow the usage instructions
provided above, and use this recommended monthly cleaning

normal wash cycle.
2. During this cycle, there will be some agitation and spinning
to increase the removal of soils.
After this cycle is complete, leave the lid open to allow
for better ventilation and drying of the washer interior.
Cleaning the Dispensers
After a period of using your washer, you may find some residue
buildup in the washer’s dispensers. To remove residue from
the dispensers, wipe them with a damp cloth and towel dry.
Do not attempt to remove the dispensers or trim for cleaning.
The dispensers and trim are not removable. If your model has
a dispenser drawer, however, remove the drawer and clean it
before or after you run the Clean Washer cycle. Use an allpurpose surface cleaner, if needed.
Cleaning the Outside of the Washer
Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe away any spills. Use
only mild soaps or cleaners when cleaning external washer
surfaces.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging the washer’s finish, do not
use abrasive products.
