Low-Water Wash System
With Deep Fill Wash Mode
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 Efciency wash of the detected load size.
In Deep Fill mode, the washer will ll to a pre-determined water
level independent of load size, allowing for greater exibility
in how you wash your clothes.
NOTE: Deep Fill is not available in the Normal cycle mode.

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 nd a step-by-step description in the “Cycle
Status Lights” section.
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 Efciency detergents. The package will be
marked “HE” or “High Efciency.” High Efciency wash
systems create excessive sudsing with a regular non-HE
detergent. Using non-HE detergent will likely result in longer
cycle times and reduced rinsing performance. It may also result
in component malfunction and, over time, buildup of mold
or mildew. HE detergents should be low-sudsing and quickdispersing to produce the right amount of suds for the best
performance. They should hold soil in suspension so it is not
redeposited onto clean clothes. Not all detergents labeled as
High Efciency are identical in formulation and their ability to
reduce suds. For example, natural, organic, or homemade HE
detergents may generate a high level of suds. Always follow the
detergent manufacturer’s instructions to determine the amount
of detergent to use.
For best performance, it is recommended to load items in loose
heaps evenly around the agitator.
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.
Use only High Efciency (HE) detergent.
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.

Tightly packed loads, unbalanced loads, or excessive suds
may cause the washer to adjust the cycle time, as well.
If you have set a delay start to the cycle, the Estimated
Cycle Time display will show the delay time adjusted.
When the cycle is complete, the display will show END until
the lid is opened.
CYCLE MODIFIERS
5
When you select a cycle, its default settings or the previous
cycle selection used will light up.
DELAY START
Touch DELAY START to delay the start of the wash
cycle up to 12 hours (“12h”). Touch DELAY START
until “0h” appears in the status display to turn off,
or touch POWER.
TEMPERATURE
Temperature control 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 that is safe for your fabric.
• On some cycles, warm and hot water may be cooler
than your previous washer.
• Even for cold wash settings, some warm water
may be added to the washer to maintain a minimum
temperature.
SOIL LEVEL
Soil Level (wash time) is preset for each wash cycle.
As you touch the Soil Level pad, the cycle time (minutes)
will increase or decrease in the Estimated Time
Remaining display and a different wash time will appear.
Select the most suitable setting for your load. For heavily
soiled items, select Heavy for more wash time. For lightly
soiled items, select Light for less wash time. A lighter soil
level setting will help reduce tangling and wrinkling.
SPIN SPEED
This washer automatically selects the spin speed
based on the cycle selected. The preset speeds can be
changed. Not all spin speeds are available with all cycles.
• 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.
AUDIO LEVEL
Use this to turn the button sounds and/or signal
indicating the end of a wash cycle to medium, high, or off.
NOTE: You may also turn off the tones that sound when
a feature, setting, or option is touched.

EXTRA RINSE
This option can be used to automatically add a second
rinse to most cycles.
DEEP CLEAN + STEAM
The Deep Clean + Steam 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 + Steam uses a heater within the
washer to maintain the selected temperature setting
throughout the wash period. Deep Clean + Steam may
be selected as an option with other cycles.
NOTE: The Deep Clean + Steam option may increase
the selected temperature.
DEEP FILL
If you would like to add the maximum amount of water
to your wash cycle, select the Deep Fill option.
NOTES:
• Expect longer cycle times due to extended fill times
when using the Deep Fill option.
• Deep Fill is not available in the Normal cycle mode.
CYCLE STATUS LIGHTS
7
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.
DELAY
When Delay Start has been selected, the Delay light will
illuminate and remain illuminated until the cycle begins.
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
a high speed. Touch and hold the 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.
SENSING
When the Start/Pause button is touched and held,
the washer will rst 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 briey 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 the washer is
working properly. You will hear the motor turn the basket
in short pulses to thoroughly wet the load. The washer
will then move the load briey, pause to allow water to
soak into 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
owing through the dispenser, adding detergent to the
load.
NOTE: Avoid opening the 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.
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.

USING YOUR WASHER
1.Sort and prepare your laundry
• 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 items 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.
2.Add laundry products
Single-dose laundry packets, powder detergent, or fabric
softener crystals can be added to the basket prior to adding
laundry.
NOTE: Always follow manufacturer’s instructions, and never
add single-dose laundry packets, powder detergent, or fabric
softener crystals to the dispensers. They will not dispense
correctly. Add to the basket prior to adding laundry.
3.Load laundry into washer
Helpful Tips:
• For best performance, use HE liquid detergent when washing
bulky items.
• When washing waterproof or water-resistant items, load
evenly.
• 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.
• Wash large, absorbent items with other water absorbent items
or alone. Do not mix water absorbent items with items that do
not absorb water as this can cause imbalance.
NOTE: Always read and follow fabric care labels instructions to
avoid damage to your items.
10
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.

WASHER CARE
Recommendations to Help Keep Your Washer Clean
and Performing at its Best
1. Always use High Efciency (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,
