WASHER SAFETY
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all
safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or
"WARNING." These words mean:
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't
immediately follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't
follow instructions.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you
what can happen if the instructions are not followed.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injuryto persons when using the washer, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
[] Read all instructions before using the washer.
[] Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned
in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline,
dry-cleaning solvents, other flammable, or explosive
substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or
explode.
[] Do not add gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other
flammable, or explosive substances to the wash water.
These substances give off vapors that could ignite or
explode.
[]
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 washing
machine, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water
flow from each for several minutes. This will release
any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is
flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during
this time.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. Close
supervision of children is necessary when the washer is used
near children.
Before the washer is removed from service or discarded,

WHAT'S NEW UNDER THE LID?
Cleaning with Less Energy
First stage Second stage
Your new Energy Star4._qualified washer saves energy by
using lower water levels and reduced wash temperatures, as
compared to traditional top-load washers. During the first stage
of the wash cycle, it is normal for some of the load to be above
the water line. The second stage adds the correct amount of
water based on the load size. This washer automatically adjusts
the water level to the load size - no water level selector is
needed.
Choosing the
Right Detergent
Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package will be
marked "HE" or "High Efficiency." This wash system, along
with less water will create too much 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. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to
determine the amount of detergent to use.
Use only High Efficiency (HE) detergent.
Concentrated Cleaning
Low-water cleaning means concentrated cleaning. The lower
water level combined with HE detergent during the first stage
of the wash cycle delivers detergent directly to the soils.
When loading the washer with dirty laundry, fill it evenly
around the basket wall.
Automatic Load Size Sensing
Once you start the cycle, the lid will lock, and the washer will
begin the sensing process to determine the correct water level
for the load. This may take several minutes before water is
added. You will find a step-by-step description in the "Cycle
Status Lights" section.
You will hear the motor turn the basket in short pulses to
thoroughly wet the load.
Normal Sounds You Can Expect
At different stages of the wash cycle, you may hear sounds and
noises 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
moves the load. And sometimes, you may hear nothing at all, as
the washer determines the correct water level for your load or
allows time for clothes to soak.
CONTROL PANEL AND FEATURES
O SOiL LEVEL
Select the most suitable setting for your load. For heavily
soiled and sturdy fabrics, select Heavy Soil Level for more
wash time, if needed. For lightly soiled and delicate fabrics,
select Ex Light Soil Level for less wash time, if needed.
Lighter soil level setting will help reduce tangling and
wrinkling.
WASH TEMP
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.
WASH CYCLE KNOB
Use the Wash Cycle knob to select available cycles on your
washer. See "Cycle Guide" for detailed descriptions
of cycles.
RINSE OPTIONS
O
The following options may be added to most cycles.
See "Cycle Guide" for additional details.
1 RINSE
This option is used to limit a cycle to one rinse.
2 RINSES
This option can be used to automatically add a
second rinse to most cycles.
1 RINSE with SOFTENER
This option must be selected if using fabric softener
during a cycle. It ensures that fabric softener is added
at the correct time in the rinse for even distribution.
2 RINSES with SOFTENER
This option turns on both the Softener and the
2 Rinses option.
PRESOAK
O
Use this option to add an extra soak period to any cycle
when washing heavily soiled garments. You can adjust the
length of the soak period by changing the Soil Level.
START/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 3 seconds
to cancel a cycle.
CYCLE STATUS LIGHTS iNDICATOR
@
P_og_s_C_ C_ C:D CD CD C)
Sensing Wash Rinse Spin Done Locked
The Cycle Status 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
When the START/Pause/Unlock button is pressed, the
washer will first perform a self-test on the lid lock
mechanism. You will hear a click, the basket will make a
slight turn, and the lid will unlock briefly before locking
again, this process may take 20 seconds to complete.
Once the lid has locked the second time, the washer will
use short, slow spins to estimate the load size. These
sensing spins may take 2 to 3 minutes before water is
added to the load and you may hear the hum of these
spins. If the sensing light is on, then washer is working
properly. You will hear the motor turn the basket in short
pulses to thoroughly wet the load. The washer will then
move the load briefly, pause to allow water to soak in to
the load, and resume adding water. This process may
repeat until the correct amount of water has been added
for the load.
NOTE: Avoid opening lid during sensing phase. The
sensing process will start over when the washer is
restarted. The sensing light may also come on during
the Soak and Wash portions of the cycle. This is normal.
To restart the washer after the lid has been opened
press start.
4
WASH
You will hear the motor and agitator moving the load.
During the first stage of the sensing/wash cycle, water
will partially fill the washer and then begin to move the
load. It is normal to have the sensing light on during this
stage. You will hear the agitator rotate, followed by a
several second pause. This process will repeat for several
minutes, allowing the entire load to become saturated.
The lower water level combined with HE detergent at this
stage allows for concentrated cleaning. Concentrated
cleaning delivers the detergent directly to the soils. It is
normal for the load to be above the water line during this
stage. At the beginning of the second stage, the washer
will add water to the correct level based on the load size.
You will hear the agitator move quicker during this stage
of the wash cycle. The motor sounds may change at
different stages in the wash cycle.
RINSE
You will hear sounds similar to the wash cycle as the
washer rinses and moves the load. For cycles that use
a spray rinse you will hear water enter the washer as
the tub spins, allowing the rinse water to penetrate the
clothes. For cycles that use the extra rinse option, you
will hear sounds similar to the wash cycle as the washer
rinses and moves the load. Fabric softener will be added
if the Fabric Softener Added-Yes option was selected.
SPIN
The washer spins the load at increasing speeds for
proper water removal, based on the selected cycle and
spin speed.
DONE
Once the cycle is complete, this light will come on.
Remove the load promptly for best results.
LID LOCKED
To allow for proper load sensing and
spinning, the lid will lock and the Lid
Locked light will turn on. This light
C3
Locked
indicates that the lid is locked and
cannot be opened.
Ifyou need to open the lid, press
START/Pause/Unlock. 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/Unlock
again to resume the cycle. Avoid
opening the lid during sensing. The
sensing process will start over when the
washer is restarted.

USING YOUR WASHER
Fire Hazard
Never place items in the washer that are dampened
with gasoline or other flammable fluids.
No washer can completely remove oil.
Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on
it (including cooking oils).
Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
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 garments by recommended cycle, water temperature,
and colorfastness.
. Separate heavily soiled garments from lightly soiled.
. Separate delicate garments 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 garments
during washing.
Helpful Tips:
* When washing water-proof or water-resistant items, load
evenly. See "Cycle Guide" for tips and more information on
using the Bulky Items cycle.
. 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.
Always read and follow fabric care label instructions to avoid
damage to your garments.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
Add laundry products
Add a measured 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." Low-water
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
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.
to dispenser, if desired
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 filling the
dispenser with warm water until liquid reaches the underside
of the rim. See max fill line arrows.
IMPORTANT: 1 Rinse with Softener or

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
