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 lit, the lid is locked and cannot be opened. When off, the lid can be opened. After a cycle is started, water will enter the washer. Lid will be unlocked during the Sensing Fill and Wash process. If you need to open the lid to add a garment after this point, you must press START/Pause and wait for the lid to unlock. The lid will only unlock after washer movement has stopped. It may take several seconds to several minutes for the lid to unlock. Press START/Pause to resume the cycle.

Sounds

At different stages of the wash cycle, you may hear sounds and pauses 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 selftest. There will be different kinds of humming and whirring sounds as the agitator tests for load balance or moves

the load. Sometimes, you may hear nothing at all as the washer allows time for clothes to soak.

Automatic Load Size Sensing

Once you start the cycle, the washer will fill to the water level. When the washer is done filling, it will start to agitate after it determines the correct level for the load. The washer will then fill to the appropriate water level based on the load size.

This low-water wash method uses less water and energy compared to a traditional agitator-style washer.

IMPORTANT:

■■ After the washer basket fills to the selected water level, the lid must be closed before the wash cycle can start. If filling stops with the lid open, close lid and press START/Pause button.

7 6

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

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.

3WASH CYCLE KNOB

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

4EXTRA RINSE

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

5PRESOAK (Depending on Model)

Use this option to add an extra soak period to any cycle when washing heavily soiled garments. This option will alternate between a soak and a gentle agitation.

NOTE: If your washer does not have a presoak/soak option or cycle, press the Start/Pause button to pause the cycle after the washer has filled with water. When you have soaked your items for the desired amount of time, press the Start/ Pause button again to continue the cycle.

6START/PAUSE BUTTON

Press to start the selected cycle; press again to pause the cycle and unlock the lid.

NOTE: If the washer is spinning, it may take several minutes to unlock the lid. Press and hold for 3 seconds to cancel a cycle.

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 traditional washers.

4

SENSING FILL

When the START/Pause button is pressed, the washer will fill to an initial water level and begin sensing to determine the load size. The washer will then continue filling to the appropriate water level based on load size and proceed to Wash.

If the lid is opened or the START/Pause button is pressed, the cycle will pause. Closing the lid and/ or pressing the START/Pause button will resume the

cycle. If the cycle remains paused with the lid open for 10 minutes, the washer will pump out the water.

WASH

You will hear the agitator moving the load. The motor sounds may change at different stages in the cycle. 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. 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.

DONE

Once the cycle is complete, this light will come on. For best results, remove the load promptly.

LID LOCKED

The Lid Lock feature allows for higher spin speeds. When the Lid Locked light is lit, the

lid is locked and cannot be opened without pausing the cycle.When the Lid Locked 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.

USING YOUR WASHER

1. Sort and prepare your laundry

2. 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 items.

•Separate delicate items from sturdy fabrics.

•Do not dry garments 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:

•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 garments.

Add a measured of 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 Efficiency detergents. The package will be marked “HE” or “High Efficiency.” Lowwater 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.

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

3. Load laundry into washer	5. Add fabric softener to dispenser
	(on some models)

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 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

Liquid

Chlorine Bleach

Do not overfill, dilute, or use more than 1 cup (250 mL). Do not use color-safe bleach or Oxi products in the same cycle with liquid chlorine bleach.

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.	MAX FILL

Dilute liquid fabric softener by filling the dispenser with warm water until liquid reaches the underside of the rim. See max fill line arrows.

IMPORTANT: Fabric Softener will dispense during the final rinse portion of the cycle.

Adding Liquid Fabric Softener Manually to Wash Load

During the final rinse, wait until the washer has completed filling, press the START/Pause button to pause the washer. Lift the lid and add the measured recommended amount of liquid fabric softener. Do not use more than the recommended amount. Close the lid and press the START/Pause button again to start the washer.

WASHER MAINTENANCE

WATER INLET HOSES

Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk of hose failure. Periodically inspect and replace inlet hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found.

When replacing your inlet hoses, mark the date of replacement 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
