LOAD SIZE
Select the setting most suitable for your load. Small will add
a low amount of water for smaller loads and Super will add
the most amount of water for large or bulky loads. Items need
to move freely. Tightly packing can lead to poor cleaning
performance, and may increase wrinkling and tangling.

TEMPERATURE
Temperature control 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.
• Warm and hot water will be cooler than what your
previous washer provided.
• Even in a cold and cool water wash, some warm water
may be added to the washer to maintain a minimum
temperature.

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.
• 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 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.
NOTE: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to determine the
amount of laundry products to use.
6
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.
IMPORTANT:
• Dilute liquid fabric softener by lling the dispenser with
warm water until liquid reaches the underside of the rim. See
max ll line arrows. Then select Fabric Softener Added-Yes
option or Fabric Softener Added with Extra Rinse option.
• Fabric Softener Added option must be selected to “Yes” to
ensure proper distribution at correct time in cycle.
Adding Liquid Fabric Softener Manually to Wash Load
During the nal rinse, wait until the washer has completed
lling, press the START/Pause/Unlock 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/Unlock 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.
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 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:
Recommended Cycle for Cleaning the Washer
Refer to the “Cycle Guide” for the optimal cycle for cleaning
the inside of the washer. Use this cycle with washer cleaner
or liquid chlorine bleach as described below.
Begin procedure
1� Washer Cleaner Cycle Procedure (Recommended for
Best Performance):
a� Open the washer lid and remove any clothing or items.
b� Place a washer cleaner tablet in the bottom of the
washer basket.
c� Do not place a washer cleaner tablet in the detergent
dispenser.
d� Do not add any detergent or other chemical to the
washer when following this procedure.
e� Close the washer lid.
f� Select the cycle recommended for cleaning the inside
of the washer.
g� Press the START/PAUSE button to start the cycle.
NOTE: For best results, do not interrupt cycle. If cycle
must be interrupted, press START/PAUSE once or twice
(depending on model). After the cycle has stopped, run a
RINSE & SPIN cycle to rinse cleaner from washer.
WASHER CARE (cont�)
2� Chlorine Bleach Procedure (Alternative):
a� Open the washer lid and remove any clothing
or items.
b� Add 1 cup (236 mL) of liquid chlorine bleach
to the bleach compartment.
NOTE: Use of more liquid chlorine bleach than is
recommended above could cause washer damage
over time.
c� Close the washer lid.
d� Do not add any detergent or other chemical
to the washer when following this procedure.
e� Select the cycle recommended for cleaning the inside
of the washer.
f� Press the START/PAUSE button to start the cycle.
NOTE: For best results, do not interrupt cycle. If cycle
must be interrupted, press START/PAUSE once or twice
(depending on model). After the cycle has stopped, run a
RINSE & SPIN cycle to rinse cleaner from washer.
Cleaning the Dispensers
After a period of using your washer, you may nd some
residue buildup in the washer’s dispensers. To remove
residue from the dispensers, wipe them with a damp cloth
and towel dry. Do not attempt to remove the dispensers or
trim for cleaning. The dispensers and trim are not removable.
If your model has a dispenser drawer, however, remove the
drawer and clean it before or after you run the Clean Washer
cycle. Use an all-purpose surface cleaner, if needed.
Cleaning the Outside of the Washer
Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe away any spills.
Use only mild soaps or cleaners when cleaning external
washer surfaces.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging the washer’s nish, do not
use abrasive products.
NON-USE AND VACATION CARE
Operate your washer only when you are home. If moving, or not
using your washer for a period of time, follow these steps:
1� Unplug or disconnect power to washer.
2� Turn off water supply to washer, to avoid ooding due
to water pressure surge.
WINTER STORAGE CARE
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage, install and store washer
where it will not freeze. Because some water may stay in
hoses, freezing can damage washer. If storing or moving
during freezing weather, winterize your washer.
To winterize washer:
1� Shut off both water faucets; disconnect and drain water
inlet hoses.
2� Put 1 qt. (1 L) of R.V.-type antifreeze in basket and run washer
on RINSE & SPIN cycle for about 30 seconds
to mix antifreeze and remaining water.
3� Unplug washer or disconnect power.
