You will need:
■ A water heater set to deliver 120°F (49°C) water to the washer.
■ A grounded electrical outlet located within 6 ft. (1.8 m) of where
the power cord is attached to the back of the washer. See
“Electrical Requirements.”
■ Hot and cold water faucets located within 4 ft. (1.2 m) of the hot
and cold water fill valves, and water pressure of 20-100 psi
(137.9-689.6 kPa).
■ A level floor with a maximum slope of 1" (25 mm) under entire
washer. Installing the washer on soft floor surfaces, such as
carpets or surfaces with foam backing, is not recommended.
■ A sturdy and solid floor to support the washer with a total weight
(water and load) of 400 lbs (180 kg).
Do not operate your washer in temper
Some water can remain in the washer and can cause damage in low
temperatures.
atures below 32°F (0°C).
Options
Pedestal
You have the option of purchasing pedestals of different heights
separately for this washer. You may select a 10" (254 mm) or a

FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Your new front-loading high efficiency washer, was designed to
conserve resources and lower your water and energy bills. The
washer is designed to determine and then provide the amount of
water needed for the best performance. The time of operation may
be greater for this new system than for a conventional washer.
Electronic Controls
Flexible electronic controls are easy to use whether you are a beginner or an expert.
Auto Water Level
Adjusting to the size of the load, this feature allows the washer to
use the minimal amount of water needed to clean and rinse the
clothes. With a low water level, you can obtain the same results.
Because only the required amount of water is used, the washer
saves energy, too. You can obtain the same washing results for
small and large load sizes.
Larger Load Size
Since there is no agitator, you can wash larger, bulkier items such as an average size sleeping bag. You are also able to wash more clothes at one time, which means fewer loads. You can wash a pillow or a large stuffed teddy bear.
Suspension System
To reduce washer “walk” and “off-balance” conditions, your new washer combines:
■ 2 Springs to isolate vibration
■ 3 Shock absorbers at the washer base to minimize movement
Stainless Steel Drum
The stainless steel drum eliminates corrosion and enables higher spin speeds for more water extraction, reducing drying time.
Adaptive Variable Speed Motor
The motor adapts to the load size and to the cycle selected to give
the optimum cleaning, rinsing, and spinning conditions. The motor
can handle slow speeds needed for delicate items and is powerful
enough to drive an average clothes load up to high-speed spin.
Spin Speeds
This washer automatically selects the spin speed based on the cycle selected. For some cycles, the default spin speed can be changed if desired. This washer offers up to three different spin speed choices.
Add Clothes
This option is available in all wash cycles except Rinse, Drain &
Spin, and Clean Washer with AFFRESH™ cycle. When this option is
available at the beginning of the cycle, the Add Clothes status light
will illuminate for the first 7 minutes. This washer allows a 7-minute
period in which other garments may be added to a load.
Dynamic Balance
A precision balancing system allows the washer to reach highspeed spins. The washer spins faster so that clothes coming out of
the washer will have less moisture than with traditional top load
machines. In addition, if the Dynamic Balance system detects offbalance loads during spinning, it redistributes the clothes so that
they are evenly balanced.
Smart Dispensers
The three compartments in the dispenser allow loading of all
laundry products before the washer is started. The products
will be dispensed into the wash at the optimal time for highperformance cleaning. The bleach release system is included
in the detergent advantage system. The detergent is added at
the beginning of the cycle, and the bleach is added after the
enzymes have had a chance to do their cleaning. The fabric
softener is dispensed in the rinse cycle or in the 2nd Rinse, if
selected. The Detergent Advantage System Dispenser tray is
easily removed for cleaning.

Starting Your Washer
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to
persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before
operating this appliance.
The following is a guide to using your washer. Please refer to specific sections of this manual for more detailed information.
Do not store laundry products on the top surfac
e of this washer.
Vibration is normal during operation.
Using the Proper Detergent
Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package for this type of
detergent will be marked “HE” or “High Efficiency.” This wash system,
along with less water, will create too much sudsing with a regular
non-HE detergent. Using regular detergent will likely result in washer
errors, 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 HE High Efficiency detergent.
First Wash Cycle Without Laundry
Before washing clothes for the first time, if not completed during
the final installation step, choose the Normal cycle and run it
without clothes. Use only HE High Efficiency detergent. Use 1/2
the manufacturer’s recommended amount for a medium-size load.
This initial cycle serves to ensure the interior is clean before
washing clothes.
For All Wash Cycles
1. To load washer
Open the washer door by pulling on the
handle. Sort laundry
according to color and type of fabric. Place a load of sorted
clothes in the washer. Do not tightly pack the washer. Tightly
packed items can cause poor cleaning.
■ Always empty pockets. Small items can be caught within
the washer resulting in noise or plugging the pump.
■ The washer can be fully loaded, but not tightly packed.
Washer door should close easily.
■ Mix large and small items. Avoid washing a single item.
Load evenly.
■ Wash small items such as infant socks in mesh garment bags.
It is recommended that more than one garment bag be used
and that each garment bag be filled with equal amounts of
material.
■ When unloading garments, occasionally check under the
rubber rim at the front of the tub for small items.
2. Close the w
asher door by pushing it firmly until the lock clicks.
After a lock check at the beginning of the cycle, the washer door
will remain locked during the wash cycle.
NOTE: After any wash cycle is completed, the door must be
opened and then closed before a new cycle can begin. The
door can be opened only if Start/P
ause is selected while the
Add Clothes light is illuminated or if the cycle has been
canceled.
See “To cancel a cycle” in the “Changing Cycles
and Options” section.

partment
Your new washer has a dispenser drawer with three separate
compartments for your laundry products—detergent, liquid chlorine
bleach, and liquid fabric softener. Laundry products are diluted and
dispensed automatically at the proper time during the wash cycle,
making it unnecessary for you to return to the washer during the
cycle to add them.
It is normal for small amounts of water to remain in the dispensers when the wash cycle is complete.
Do not put laundry products directly into the wash tub. Always use the proper dispensers when adding laundry products.
Choosing the Right Detergent
Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package for this type of
detergent will be marked “HE” or “High Efficiency.”

system, along with less water, will create too much sudsing with a
regular non-HE detergent. Using regular detergent will likely result in
washer errors, 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.
Main Wash detergent compartment
(Letter B in Dispenser Illustration)
Add liquid or powdered HE detergent to this compartment for your
main wash cycle.
■ Liquid color-safe bleach or oxi products may be added to the
Main Wash compartment along with liquid detergent.
■ Powdered color-safe bleach or oxi products may be added to the
Main Wash compartment along with the powdered detergent.
■ Do not mix powdered and liquid products in the Main Wash
compartment.
■ Use the measurement device which comes with the detergent.
Add no more than the manufacturer's recommended amount.
Overfilling could cause an oversudsing condition.
NOTE:
Chlorine bleach compartment
(Letter C in Dispenser Illustration)
Add NO MORE THAN 2/3 cup (160 mL) liquid chlorine bleach to
this compartment. The bleach will be automatically diluted and
dispensed at the best time during the first rinse after the wash cycle.

■ Use only liquid chlorine bleach in this dispenser. Do not use this
dispenser to add powdered chlorine or any form of color-safe
bleach or oxi products to your load.

Power Wash
Use this cycle for overly soiled garments and household items that
need additional cleaning effort. This cycle combines high and
medium tumbling action, with MaxExtract™ spin speed and
additional water in last rinse to flush excess dirt from the load. For
better results, use this cycle combined with the stain treat option.
Whites
This cycle is especially designed for cleaning loads of soiled
white fabrics with the addition of chlorine bleach. Hot washing
temperatures assure optimal bleach activity. An additional rinse
provides optimal rinse performance to avoid chlorine residues on
your laundry. This cycle combines fast-speed tumbling, longer wash
time, and ex high spin speed to shorten drying time. It also includes
an 2nd Rinse option, which is automatic with Whites cycle.

blouses, casual business clothes, permanent press blends, cottons
and linens, and synthetic fabrics. This cycle combines mediumspeed tumbling, MaxExtract™ spin speed, and a load cooling
process to reduce wrinkling.

(check label instructions to make sure the garment is washable.)
This cycle gently tumbles and drains with the lowest spinning to
gently clean garments and minimize wrinkling. Garments will
contain a higher amount of water at the end of this cycle because of
the low spin action.
Rinse, Drain & Spin
Use this cycle to get a rinse and spin only. This cycle combines fastspeed tumbling and ex high spin speed. If desired, you can reduce
the spin speed by selecting the speed you want from the SPIN
SPEED option.
Rinse is useful for:
■ Loads that need rinsing only.
■ Adding fabric softener to a load using the fabric softener
dispenser.

Soak
Use the Soak cycle to help remove set-in stains on fabrics. This
cycle provides a soak time with warm or cold water followed by
drain. Extra water, a short tumbling phase for equal distribution of
the laundry, and a soaking time without drum movement improve
the removal of set-in stains. Drain without spin assures gentle
treatment, even for delicate articles.
■ See the “Laundry Guide” section for an overview of possible
options for each Wash Cycle selection.
■ If an option is available with a selected cycle, the light for that
option will illuminate when selected.
