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 ll to the water
level. When the washer is done lling, it will start to agitate
after it determines the correct level for the load. The
washer will then ll 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 lls to the selected water level, the lid must be closed before the wash cycle can start.
If lling stops with the lid open, close lid and press START/Pause button.

1
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.
2
WASH 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.

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.
SENSING FILL
When the START/Pause button is pressed, the washer
will ll to an initial water level and begin sensing to
determine the load size. The washer will then continue
lling 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 briey (short hum) to move the
basket while lling.
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
• 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.
2. Add laundry products
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 Efciency detergents. The
package will be marked “HE” or “High Efciency.” 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.
7
3. Load laundry into washer
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
5. Add fabric softener to dispenser
(on some models)
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.
Dilute liquid fabric softener by lling the
dispenser with warm water until liquid reaches
the underside of the rim. See max ll line arrows.
IMPORTANT: Fabric Softener will dispense during the nal
rinse portion of the cycle.
Adding Liquid Fabric Softener Manually
to Wash Load
During the nal rinse, wait until the washer has completed
lling, 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
1. Always 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

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.
