WASHER SAFETY

WHAT’S UNDER THE LID

Lid Lock

To allow for higher spin speeds, the lid will lock and the Lid Locked light will turn on. When this light is lit, the lid is locked and cannot be opened without pausing the cycle. When this light is blinking, the washer is paused. When this light is off, the lid can be opened. After the cycle has started, the washer will ﬁll to the appropriate water level. On select cycles, agitation will occur while the basket is ﬁlling with water. This is normal. When the washer is done ﬁlling, it will begin the wash phase. If you need to open the lid to add a garment after this point, the lid will remain unlocked during the entire agitation portion of the wash phase. The cycle will automatically pause when the lid is opened, and the cycle will resume once the lid is closed. The lid will lock before the spin phase begins. If you need to pause or stop after this point, you must press the START/PAUSE/CANCEL button and wait for the lid to unlock. The lid will only unlock after washer movement has stopped. Depending on when in the cycle you try to pause, it may take from several seconds to several minutes for the lid to unlock. Press START/PAUSE/CANCEL to resume the cycle.

Sensing

This washer automatically senses the load size for most cycles, and chooses an appropriate water level according to the load size detected. This washer also performs a series of spins to check for load balance. During this time, a series of clicks and a whirring noise signal that sensing technology is determining if there is an off-balance load.

Spray Rinse

Select cycles default to a spray rinse. During these cycles, you will hear water enter the washer as the tub spins, allowing the rinse water to penetrate clothes. Check the “Cycle Guide” for details.

Choosing the Right Detergent

Use only High Efﬁciency detergents. The package will be marked “HE” or “High Efﬁciency.” 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 quick-dispersing 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 Efﬁciency 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.

Use only High Efﬁciency (HE) detergent.

Water Level Options

Set the Water Level knob to the Auto Sensing setting and the washer automatically adjusts the water level to the load size. Set the Water Level knob to the Deep Water Wash setting and the washer automatically adds more water to any cycle at any time during the wash process.

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 spin phase, as the lid lock goes through a self-test. There will be different kinds of humming sounds as the HE agitator tests for load balance or 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 clothes to soak.

IMPORTANT:

■ The lid must be closed before the washer basket ﬁlls with water and for the wash cycle to start. If the lid is opened, the cycle pauses

and all ﬁlling/agitation motion halts. Once the lid is closed, the cycle automatically resumes. However, if the Start/Pause/Cancel button is pressed prior to opening the lid, the lid must be closed and the Start/Pause/Cancel button pressed again to resume the cycle.

■ Rinse Option must be set to either 1 Rinse with Fabric Softener or 2 Rinses with Fabric Softener when using fabric softener in the

fabric softener dispenser. This ensures that fabric softener is added at the correct time in the rinse phase and is evenly distributed.

CONTROL PANEL AND FEATURES

SOIL LEVEL

Select the setting most suitable for your load. For heavily soiled and sturdy fabrics, select Heavy soil level for more wash time. For lightly soiled and delicate fabrics, select Light soil level for less wash time. A lighter soil level setting will help reduce tangling and wrinkling.

WASH TEMP

Wash Temp 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, use the warmest wash water safe for your fabric, as speciﬁ ed by the garment label instructions.

• 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.

All rinses are cold.

WASH CYCLE KNOB

Use the Wash Cycle knob to select cycles on your washer. See “Cycle Guide” for detailed descriptions of cycles.

RINSE OPTION

The following options may be added to most cycles. See “Cycle Guide” for additional details.

1 RINSE

This option is used to limit a cycle to one rinse.

2 RINSES

This option can be used to automatically add a second rinse to all wash cycles.

1 RINSE WITH FABRIC SOFTENER

This option must be selected if using fabric softener during a cycle. It ensures that fabric softener is added at the correct time in the rinse for even distribution.

2 RINSES WITH FABRIC SOFTENER

This option turns on both the Fabric Softener and the 2 Rinses option.

Not all features and options are available on all models.

Appearance may vary.

WATER LEVEL

Set the Water Level knob to the Auto Sensing setting and the washer will automatically sense the appropriate water level for the load size and type.

Set the Water Level knob to the Deep Water Wash setting and the washer will automatically add more water to any cycle at any time during the wash process.

NOTE: Expect longer cycle times due to extended ﬁ ll times when using the Deep Water Wash option.

START/PAUSE/CANCEL BUTTON

Press to start the selected cycle. Press again to pause the cycle and unlock the lid. Close the lid and press to restart the cycle. Press and hold to cancel a cycle and pump out the washer.

NOTE: If the washer is spinning, it may take several minutes to unlock the lid.

PROGRESS LIGHTS

The Progress Lights show the progress of a cycle. At each stage of the process, you may notice sounds or pauses that are different from your previous washer.

SENSING/FILL

When the Start/Pause/Cancel button is pressed and the Water Level knob is set to Auto Sensing, the washer will ﬁ ll and begin sensing to determine load size and balance. A short but noticeable pause in the cycle action occurs during sensing. This is normal.

Once sensing is complete, the washer will ﬁ ll to the appropriate level for the detected load size and, on select cycles, agitation will occur during ﬁ lling. This, too, is normal. When the washer is done ﬁ lling, it will begin the wash phase of the cycle. To ensure that the most accurate load size is detected, avoid opening the lid during the “Sensing” phase.

NOTE: Sensing and wash phases will be paused by opening the unlocked lid. Close the lid to resume the cycle. If the lid is left open for more than 10 minutes, the washer will cancel the cycle and pump out the water.

WASH

The washer will ﬁ ll to the correct water level based on the load size and the Water Level selection. Certain cycles may agitate during the ﬁ ll process to boost cleaning. When the wash cycle begins, you will hear the HE agitator increase speed. The motor sounds may change at different stages in the wash cycle while the washer performs different wash actions.

NOTE: The lid will automatically lock after the wash phase completes and before the initial spinout occurs, and will remain locked for the rest of the cycle.

RINSE

Certain cycles use a spray rinse, which adds water to the tub while the basket spins. You may hear the motor turning on brieﬂ y (short hum) to move the basket while ﬁ lling. In some cases, you may also hear sounds similar to the wash cycle as the washer ﬁ lls, 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, the lid will unlock and this light will come on. For best results, promptly remove the load.

LID LOCKED

The Lock feature allows for higher spin speeds. When lit, the lid is locked and cannot be opened without pausing the cycle. When the light is off, the lid can be opened.

To open the lid after it has been locked, press START/ PAUSE/CANCEL. 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/CANCEL while the lid is closed to resume the cycle.

CYCLE GUIDE

For best fabric care, choose the cycle that best ﬁts the load being washed. Recommended settings for best performance are shown in Bold. Not all cycles and options are available on all models. Not all settings and options are available on each cycle.

USING YOUR WASHER

1. Sort and prepare your laundry

• Empty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small object can pass under the HE 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.

2. Add laundry products

Add a measured amount of HE detergent or single-dose laundry packet into the basket.

If using Oxi-type boosters, color-safe bleach, or fabric-softener crystals, add to the bottom of the washer basket before adding clothes.

IMPORTANT: Use only High Efﬁ ciency detergents. The package will be marked “HE” or “High Efﬁ ciency.” 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.

NOTE: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to determine the amount of laundry products to use.

Helpful Tips:

• When washing water-proof or water-resistant items, load evenly.

• 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.

NOTE: Always read and follow fabric care label instructions to avoid damage to your items.

Chlorine Bleach

3. Load laundry into washer

5. Add fabric softener

Load garments in loose heaps evenly around basket wall. For best results, do not pack the load tightly. Do not wrap large items such as sheets around the HE agitator; load them in loose piles around the sides of the basket. Try mixing different-sized items to reduce tangling.

IMPORTANT: Do not tightly pack or force items into washer. Items need to move freely for best cleaning and to reduce wrinkling and tangling.

4. Add liquid chlorine bleach

to dispenser

Fabric softener

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.

WASHER CARE

Recommendations to Help Keep Your Washer

Clean and Performing at its Best

1. Always use High Efﬁ ciency (HE) detergents and follow the

detergent manufacturer’s instructions regarding the amount of 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 procedure:
