WASHER SAFETY

WHAT’S NEW UNDER THE LID?
Your new washer will operate differently than your past agitator-style washer.
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. When this light is blinking, the washer is paused. When this light is off, the lid can be opened. After a cycle is started, the washer will fill to the appropriate water level.
When the washer is done filling, it will start to agitate. 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 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 several seconds to several minutes for the lid to unlock. Press START/PAUSE to resume the cycle.
Water Level Options
Set the Water Level knob to the Auto Sensing setting and the washer will fill to a level that ensures the load engages the agitator. From this point, the electronic control will sense the load and determine if additional water is needed.
Set the Water Level knob to the Deep Water Wash setting and the washer will fill to the maximum water level.
NOTE: Deep Water Wash is not available in the Normal cycle mode. Selecting the Normal cycle with the Deep Water Wash setting will result in auto sensing of the water level.
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.
Sensing
This washer will perform 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.
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 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 open and filling stops, close the lid and press START/PAUSE to complete the cycle.
■■ Rinse options 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.

Not all features and options are available on all models.
Appearance may vary.
1SOIL 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.
2WASH 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 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 coldand cool-water wash, some warm water may be added to the washer to maintain a minimum temperature.
All rinses are cold.
3WASH CYCLE KNOB
Use the Wash Cycle knob to select cycles on your washer. See “Cycle Guide” for detailed descriptions of cycles.
4RINSE OPTIONS
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 most 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.
5WATER LEVEL
Set the Water Level knob to the Auto Sensing setting and the washer will fill to a level that ensures the load engages the agitator. From this point, the electronic control will sense the load and determine if additional water is needed.
Set the Water Level knob to the Deep Water Wash setting and the washer will fill to the maximum water level.
NOTES:
■■ Expect longer cycles times due to extended fill times when using the Deep Water Wash option.
■■ Deep Water Wash is not available in the Normal cycle mode. Selecting the Normal cycle with the Deep Water Wash setting will result in auto sensing of the water level.
6START/PAUSE BUTTON
Press to start the selected cycle. Press again to pause the cycle and unlock the lid. Press and hold 3 seconds to cancel a cycle.
NOTE: If the washer is spinning, it may take several minutes to unlock the lid.
Press and hold 3 seconds to cancel a cycle and drain the water from the washer.
7PROGRESS 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
When the Start/Pause button is pressed, and the Water Level knob is set to Auto Sensing, the washer will fill and begin sensing to determine load size and balance.
Once sensing is complete, the washer will fill to the appropriate level for the detected load size and then begin the wash phase of the cycle.
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. The lid will lock after the wash phase to begin the initial spinout and remain locked for the remainder of the cycle.
4
WASH
The washer will fill to the correct water level based on the load size and the Water Level selection. Certain cycles may agitate during the fill process to boost cleaning. You will hear the agitator rotate followed by a pause lasting several seconds. When the wash cycle begins, you will hear the agitator increase speed. The motor sounds may change at different stages in the wash cycle while the washer performs different wash actions.
RINSE
Certain cycles use a spray rinse, which adds water to the tub while the basket spins. 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.
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. For best results, promptly remove the load.
LID LOCKED
The Lid Locked 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. 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 while the lid is closed to resume the cycle.
