Washer Safety

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of re, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the washer, follow basic precautions,

including the following:

n Read all instructions before using the washer. n Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned

in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, other ammable, or explosive substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

n Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other

ammable or explosive substances to the wash water. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.

n Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be

produced in a hot water system that has not been used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period before using the washer, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water ow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is ammable, do not smoke or use an open ame during this time.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

n Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close

supervision of children is necessary when the washer is used near children.

n Before the washer is removed from service or discarded,

remove the door or lid.

n Do not reach into the washer if the drum, tub or agitator

is moving.

n Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed

to the weather.

n Do not tamper with controls. n Do not repair or replace any part of the washer or attempt

any servicing unless specically recommended in this manual or in published user-repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.

n See “Electrical Requirements” located in the Installation

Instructions for grounding instructions.

n If the washer power supply cord has a SCHUKO-type

connection (male) plug, it must be connected to a SCHUKO-type female socket.

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.

The lid will remain unlocked through the wash cycle, then lock before the ﬁrst spin cycle begins. The lid will remain locked throughout the remainder of the cycles.

If you need to open the lid to add a garment after the lid has locked, you must press START/STOP 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/STOP to resume the cycle.

IMPORTANT: After the washer basket ﬁlls to the

selected water level, the lid must be closed before the wash cycle can start.

Sounds

At different stages of the wash cycle, you may hear sounds and pauses that are 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 self-test. There will be different kinds of humming and whirring sounds as the agitator tests for load balance or moves the load. And, sometimes, you may hear nothing at all as the washer allows time for clothes to soak.

Not all features and options are available on all models. Appearance may vary.

LOAD SIZE

1

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

WASH TEMP

2

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 cold and cool water wash, some warm water may be added to the washer to maintain a minimum temperature.

SOIL LEVEL (on some models)

3

This option allows you to set the soil level based on the degree of dirt for the load you are washing.

EXTRA RINSE

4

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

WASH CYCLE KNOB

5

Use the Wash Cycle knob to select cycles on your washer. The knob does not advance during the progress of the cycle; see cycle status/progress lights for each stage of the process. See “Cycle Guide” for detailed descriptions of cycles.

START/STOP BUTTON

6

Press to start the selected cycle. Press again to pause the cycle and unlock the lid. Press and hold for 3 seconds to cancel a cycle.

NOTE: If the washer is spinning, it may take several minutes to unlock the lid.

LOCKED/LID LOCKED

7

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.

If you need to open the lid, press START/STOP. 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/STOP again to resume the cycle.

CYCLE STATUS/PROGRESS LIGHTS INDICATOR

8

The Cycle Status/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 START/STOP is pressed, the washer will ﬁll to

the selected water level. If the lid is closed when the washer is done ﬁlling, the washer will begin operation.

If the lid is opened or START/STOP is pressed,

the cycle will pause. Closing the lid and/or pressing START/STOP will resume the cycle. If the cycle remains paused with the lid open for 10 minutes, the washer will pump out the water.

NOTE: The lid will remain unlocked throughout the

wash cycle, then lock before the ﬁrst spin cycle begins.

WASH You will hear the agitator moving the load. The motor

sounds may change at different stages in the cycle. The 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.

Some cycles use spray rinsing. After draining and spinning out wash water, the washer will continue to spin and spray in rinse water for the entire rinse time.

SPIN/FINAL SPIN

The washer spins the load at increasing speeds for proper water removal, based on the selected cycle and spin speed.

DONE/CYCLE COMPLETE

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

“Machine Washable Silks” or “Gentle” cycle on the care label. Place small items in mesh garment bags before washing.

High Provides maximum wash time and action for tough stains

and soils. Use this cycle for heavily soiled or sturdy items. Water-level sensing process may take longer for some items than for others because they will absorb more water than other fabric types.

High Use this cycle for medium soiled cottons and mixed

fabric loads.

Low Use this cycle to wash large items such as jackets and small

comforters. The washer will ﬁll with enough water to wet down the load before the wash portion of the cycle begins. Do not tightly pack basket.

Cold water with an additional wash action gently lifts stains while caring for fabrics. Settings may be adjusted as desired, but must use only cold water settings.

High

Use this cycle to wash small, lightly soiled loads of 2–3 items that are needed in a hurry.

Use this cycle to soak small spots of set-in stains on fabrics. The washer will use intermittent agitation and soaking. After time has expired, water will drain, but the washer will not spin. Cycle is complete.

Use this cycle when only the wash cycle is required. The washer will ﬁll in stages, then begin the wash cycle. Once the wash cycle is complete, the washer will show that it is ready. Water will not drain for 12 hours if the lid remains closed. If the lid is open, water will drain after 10 minutes.

Combines a rinse and high-speed spin for loads requiring an additional rinse cycle or to complete a load after power interruption. Also use for loads that require rinsing only.
