ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WHAT’S NEW UNDER THE LID?
Your new washer will operate differently than your past agitator-style washer.
Lid Locked
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. After a cycle is started, the lid locks, unlocks, and
locks again. If you need to open the lid to add a garment
after this point, you must press START/PAUSE/UNLOCK
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.
Sensing
This washer will perform a series of spins to check for load
balance. When a load is started, it may take 2–3 minutes
before water begins to enter the basket. During this time,
a series of clicks and a whirring noise signal that sensing
technology is determining if there is an off-balance load.
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.
Spray Rinse
Select cycles default to a spray rinse. During these cycles,
you will hear water enter the washer as the tub spins,
allowing the rinse water to penetrate clothes. Check the
“Cycle Guide” for details.
IMPORTANT:
• Washer will not operate if the lid is open.
• Washer will not begin to ll with water until the lid is closed, locked, and the sensing process is complete.
This delay in ll could take 2–3 minutes.
• Fabric Softener Added option must be selected “Yes” to ensure fabric softener dispenses at the correct time.
SPECIFICATIONS

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.
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

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 odorcausing 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 liquid chlorine bleach as
described below.
WASHER CARE (cont.)
Begin procedure
1. Chlorine Bleach Procedure:
a. Open the washer lid and remove any clothing
or items.
b. Add 236 mL (1 cup) 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/UNLOCK button to start the
cycle.
NOTE: For best results, do not interrupt cycle. If cycle
must be interrupted, press START/PAUSE/UNLOCK
once or twice [depending on model]. After the cycle has
stopped, run a RINSE and 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
10
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.
IMPORTANT:
To prevent damage to washer and personal injury, any
transport/installation of washer requires two-person handling.
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 L (1 qt.) 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.
TRANSPORTING YOUR WASHER
1. Shut off both water faucets. Disconnect and drain water
inlet hoses.
2. If washer will be moved during freezing weather, follow
Winter Storage Care directions before moving.
3. Disconnect drain from drain system and drain any
remaining water into a pan or bucket. Disconnect drain
hose from back of washer.
4. Unplug power cord.
5. Place inlet hoses and drain hose inside washer basket.
6. Drape power cord over edge and into washer basket.
7. Place packing tray from original shipping materials back
inside washer. If you do not have packing tray, place heavy
blankets or towels into basket opening. Close lid and place
tape over lid and down front of washer. Keep lid taped until
washer is placed in new location.
IMPORTANT: Washer must be transported in the upright
position.
REINSTALLING/USING WASHER AGAIN
To reinstall washer after non-use, vacation, winter storage,
or moving:
1. Refer to “Installation Instructions” to locate, level, and
connect washer.
2. Before using again, run washer through the following
recommended procedure:
To use washer again:
1. Flush water pipes and hoses. Reconnect water inlet hoses.
Turn on both water faucets.
2. Plug in washer or reconnect power.
3. Run washer through Normal Heavy cycle to clean washer
and remove antifreeze, if used. Use half the manufacturer’s
recommended amount of detergent for a medium-size load.

manufacturer’s directions based on load size and soil level.
Use a higher soil level cycle option and warmer wash
temperature to improve cleaning.
Use Heavy cycle for tough cleaning. See the “Cycle Guide” to
match your load with the best cycle.
Use dispensers to avoid chlorine bleach and fabric softener
staining.
Load dispensers before starting a cycle. Select Fabric Softener
Added-Yes when using fabric softener.
Do not add products directly onto load.
Wash like colors together and remove promptly after the cycle
is complete to avoid dye transfer.
Use only liquid chlorine bleach in the bleach dispenser. Use only
fabric softener in the fabric softener dispenser.
Empty pockets, zip zippers, and snap or hook fasteners before
washing to avoid snags and tears.
Tie all strings and straps before starting wash load.
Mend rips and broken threads in seams before washing.
Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the basket wall.
Load with dry items only.
Use cycle designed for the fabrics being washed.
Add only 1 or 2 additional garments after washer has started.
Do not pour liquid chlorine bleach directly onto load. Wipe up
bleach spills.
Undiluted bleach will damage fabrics. Do not use more than
recommended by manufacturer.
Do not place load items on top of bleach dispenser when

SECURITE DU LAVE-LINGE
INSTRUCTIONS DE SECURITE ADDITIONNELLES
n Ne pas utiliser le lave-linge s’il semble être endommagé ou défectueux. Contacter le propriétaire du lave-linge pour
demander l’exécution des réparations appropriées.
n Ne pas utiliser ce lave-linge si l’on a utilisé des produits chimiques industriels pour le nettoyage.

QUOI DE NEUF SOUS LE COUVERCLE?
Votre nouveau lave-linge fonctionne différemment de votre précédent lave-linge de type agitateur.
Lid Locked (Verrouillage couvercle)
Pour permettre des essorages à vitesse plus élevée, le
couvercle se verrouille et le témoin de couvercle verrouillé
s’allume. Lorsque ce témoin lumineux s’allume, cela
signie que le couvercle est verrouillé et ne peut être
ouvert. Lorsque ce témoin lumineux clignote, cela signie
que le lave-linge effectue une pause. Lorsque ce témoin
lumineux est éteint, cela signie qu’on peut ouvrir le
couvercle. Une fois qu’un programme a commencé, le
couvercle se verrouille, se déverrouille puis se verrouille
à nouveau. Si l’on doit ouvrir le couvercle pour ajouter un
vêtement après cette période, il faut appuyer sur START/
PAUSE/UNOCK (mise en marche/pause/déverrouillage)
puis attendre que le couvercle se déverrouille. Le
couvercle se déverrouille uniquement une fois que le
mouvement du lave-linge a cessé. Selon le moment où
l’on souhaite suspendre le programme, le couvercle peut
mettre entre plusieurs secondes et plusieurs minutes à se
déverrouiller.
Sensing (Détection)
Ce lave-linge effectue une série d’essorages pour
contrôler l’équilibre de la charge. Une fois une charge mise
en route, il peut s’écouler de 2 à 3 minutes avant que de
l’eau ne pénètre dans le panier. Durant cette période, une
série de cliquetis et un bruit de frottements rythmiques
indiquent que la technologie de détection détermine si
la charge est déséquilibrée.
Sounds (Bruits)
A différents stades du programme de lavage, votre
nouveau lave-linge émettra peut-être des bruits que
votre lave-linge précédent ne produisait pas. Il est par
exemple possible que vous entendiez un cliquetis et
un bourdonnement au début du programme, lorsque
le système de verrouillage du couvercle effectue un
test automatique. Différents bourdonnements et bruits
de frottements rythmiques se produiront à mesure
que l’agitateur évalue l’équilibre de la charge et qu’il la
déplace. Il est aussi possible que le lave-linge soit parfois
complètement silencieux, lorsqu’il laisse tremper les
vêtements.
Spray Rinse (Rinçage par vaporisation)
Certains programmes utilisent un rinçage par vaporisation
par défaut. Au cours de ces programmes, on entend l’eau
pénétrer dans le lave-linge tandis que la cuve tourne, ce
qui permet à l’eau de rinçage de pénétrer les vêtements.
Consulter le “Guide de programmes” pour plus de détails.
IMPORTANT :
• Le lave-linge ne fonctionnera pas si le couvercle est ouvert.
• Le lave-linge n’entamera pas le remplissage d’eau tant que le couvercle n’aura pas été fermé et verrouillé et que le processus
de détection n’est pas terminé. Ce délai avant le remplissage peut prendre entre 2 et 3 minutes.
• L’option Fabric Softener Added (assouplissant pour tissu ajouté) doit être placée sur “Yes” (oui) pour que l’assouplissant pour
tissu soit distribué au moment adéquat.

Certains programmes et options ne sont pas disponibles sur certains modèles.
LOAD SIZE (TAILLE DE LA CHARGE)
1
Sélectionner le réglage le plus adapté à votre charge. Small
(petite) ajoute une faible quantité d’eau pour les charges plus
petites et Super ou Large (grande) ajoute la quantité d’eau
la plus importante pour les grandes charges ou les charges
volumineuses. Les articles doivent pouvoir se déplacer
librement. Trop tasser le linge peut entraîner une mauvaise
performance de lavage et augmenter le froissement et
l’emmêlement.
2
TEMPERATURE
La fonction de contrôle de température détecte et
maintient une température uniforme de l’eau en régulant
le débit d’arrivée d’eau chaude et d’eau froide.
Sélectionner une température de lavage en fonction du type
de tissu et de saleté à laver. Pour des résultats optimaux,
suivre les instructions sur l’étiquette du vêtement et utiliser
la température d’eau de lavage la plus chaude possible qui
reste sans danger pour le tissu.
• Les températures de l’eau tiède et de l’eau chaude seront
inférieures à celles de votre lave-linge précédent.
• Même avec un lavage à l’eau fraîche ou froide, il est
possible que de l’eau tiède soit ajoutée au lave-linge pour
maintenir une température minimale.
L’apparence des appareils peut varier.

Il est possible d’ajouter les options suivantes à la plupart
des programmes.
EXTRA RINSE (RINÇAGE SUPPLEMENTAIRE)
On peut utiliser cette option pour ajouter
automatiquement un second rinçage à la plupart
des programmes.
FABRIC SOFTENER ADDED-YES
(AJOUT D’ASSOUPLISSANT POUR TISSU - OUI)
Cette option doit être sélectionnée si l’on utilise de
l’assouplissant pour tissu durant un programme. Ceci
garantit que l'assouplissant pour tissu est ajouté au bon
moment lors du rinçage pour être correctement distribué.
FABRIC SOFTENER ADDED with EXTRA RINSE
(AJOUT D’ASSOUPLISSANT POUR TISSU AVEC
RINÇAGE SUPPLEMENTAIRE)
Cette option active les options Fabric Softener

Utiliser le bouton de programme de lavage pour sélectionner
les programmes disponibles pour le lave-linge. le bouton
de programme de lavage pour sélectionner un programme
correspondant à la charge de linge. Voir “Guide de
programmes” pour des descriptions de programmes
détaillées.
BOUTON START/PAUSE/UNLOCK

(MISE EN MARCHE/PAUSE/DEVERROUILLAGE)
Appuyer sur ce bouton pour démarrer le programme
sélectionné, puis appuyer de nouveau pour suspendre
le programme et déverrouiller le couvercle.
REMARQUE : Si le lave-linge tourne, le couvercle peut
mettre quelques minutes à se déverrouiller. Appuyer
pendant 3 secondes pour annuler un programme.

CYCLE STATUS LIGHTS INDICATOR
(TEMOINS LUMINEUX DE PROGRAMME)
Les témoins lumineux indiquent la progression du
programme. A chaque étape du processus, il est possible
que l’on remarque des pauses ou des sons différents de
ceux des lave-linge ordinaires.
FILL (REMPLISSAGE)
Lorsqu’on appuie sur le bouton START/Pause/Unlock
(mise en marche/pause/déverrouillage), le lave-linge
effectue un test automatique sur le mécanisme de
verrouillage du couvercle. On entend un déclic et
le couvercle se déverrouille brièvement avant de se
verrouiller à nouveau. Le lave-linge procède à des
essorages pour vérier l’équilibrage de la charge. Ces
essorages peuvent prendre plusieurs minutes avant que
l’eau ne soit admise dans le lave-linge. Les essorages
peuvent émettre un bourdonnement avant le remplissage.
Ceci est normal.
WASH (LAVAGE)
On entend l’agitateur déplacer la charge. Les bruits émis
par le moteur peuvent changer lors des différentes étapes
du programme. La durée de lavage est déterminée par le
niveau de saleté sélectionné.
RINSE (RINÇAGE)
On entend des sons similaires à ceux entendus lors du
programme de lavage à mesure que le lave-linge rince
et déplace la charge. Le moteur émettra peut-être un
court bourdonnement pour déplacer le panier pendant
le remplissage. L’assouplissant pour tissu sera ajouté si
l’option Fabric Softener -Yes (assouplissant pour tissu Oui) est sélectionnée.
Certains programmes utilisent un rinçage avec
vaporisation. Après avoir effectué la vidange et
l’extraction de l’eau, le lave-linge poursuit l’essorage et la
vaporisation d’eau de rinçage pendant toute la durée de
rinçage.
SPIN (ESSORAGE)
Le lave-lnige essore la charge à des vitesses augmentant
graduellement pour une bonne extraction de l’eau, en
fonction du programme et de la vitesse d’essorage
sélectionnés.
DONE (TERMINE)
Une fois le programme terminé, ce témoin s’allume.
Retirer la charge rapidement pour un résultat optimal.
LID LOCKED (COUVERCLE VERROUILLE)
Pour un essorage à plus haute
vitesse, le couvercle se verrouille et
le témoin de verrouillage du couvercle
s’allume. Lorsque ce témoin lumineux
s’allume, cela signie que le couvercle est
verrouillé et ne peut être ouvert. Lorsque
ce témoin lumineux clignote, cela signie
que le lave-linge effectue une pause. Lorsque ce témoin
lumineuxest éteint, cela signie qu’on peut ouvrir le
couvercle.
Si l’on doit ouvrir le couvercle, appuyer
sur START/Pause/Unlock (mise en
marche/pause/déverrouillage). Le
couvercle se déverrouille une fois que
le mouvement du lave-linge a cessé.
Il se peut que cela prenne plusieurs
minutes si le lave-linge essorait la charge
à grande vitesse. Appuyer de nouveau sur START/Pause/
Unlock (mise en marche/pause/déverrouillage) pour
poursuivre le programme.
