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,

remove the door or lid.

[] Do not reach into the washer if the drum, tub or agitator is

moving.

[] Do not install or store the washer where itwill be exposed to

the weather.

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

servicing unless specifically recommended in this manual or in

published user=repair instructions that you understand and have the skills to carry out.

[] See "Electrical Requirements" located in the installation

instructions for grounding instructions.

WHAT'S NEW UNDER THE LID?

Cleaaiag with Less

oo O]

Traditional agitator-style

washer

The most striking difference inyour new washer is the low-water washplate wash system. The washer automatically adjusts the

water level to the load size--no water level selector is needed.

When loading the washer with dirty laundry, fill it evenly around the basket wall.

Washer with low-water

washplate wash system

Automatic Load Size Sensiag

As the washer dampens and moves the load, the level of the clothes will settle in the basket. This is normal, and does not

indicate that more clothes should be added. IMPORTANT: You will not see a washer basket full of water

as with your past agitator-style washer.

Choosiag the Right Detergent

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.

Follow the manufacturer's instructions to determine the amount of detergent to use.

Use only High Efficiency (HE) detergent.

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. This low-water wash method uses

less water and energy compared to a traditional agitator-style washer.

Concentrated Cleaniag

Low-water cleaning means concentrated cleaning. Rather than diluting detergent as done in an agitator-style washer,

this washer delivers the detergent directly to the soils.

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 washplate 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.

@ ECO MONITOR

Your washer is specially designed to conserve energy and water. Each cycle, along with any selected options,

will result in different energy usage. As you make your cycle and temperature selections, the Eco Monitor shows how

well you are saving energy. Adjust the temperature and spin speed within that cycle to improve energy usage. Using the

EcoBoost setting on a cycle can also be a one-touch way to improve your Eco Monitor rating on many cycles.

O WASH CYCLE KNOB

Use the Wash Cycle knob to select available cycles on your washer. Turn the knob to select a cycle for your laundry load.

See "Cycle Guide" for detailed descriptions of cycles.

CYCLE OPTIONS Whenyou select acycle, its default settings will light up.

TEMP 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 Cool water wash, some warm water may be added to the washer to maintain a minimum

temperature.

SOIL LEVEL Soil level (wash time) is preset for each wash cycle.

As you press Soil Level, the cycle time (minutes) will increase or decrease in the Estimated Time Remaining

display and a different wash time will appear. For most loads, use the soil level that is preset with the

cycle you have chosen. For heavily soiled and sturdy fabrics, press Soil Level to select more wash time, if

needed. For lightly soiled and delicate fabrics, press Soil Level to select less wash time, if needed. Lower soil level

setting will help reduce tangling and wrinkling.

SPIN SPEED This washer automatically selects the spin speed

based on the cycle selected. The preset speeds can be changed. Not all spin speeds are available with all cycles.

• Faster spin speeds mean shorter dry times, but may increase wrinkling inyour load.

• Slower spin speeds mean less wrinkling, but will leave

your load more damp.

DEEP CLEAN/CLEAN BOOST This option provides enhanced cleaning action for tough

stains. It will add additional agitation and soak time to the cycle.

DELAY WASH If you would like to set your washer to start at a preferred

time, select the Delay Wash option. You can use this option to delay start of a wash cycle for up to 9 hours

(depending on model). Press Delay Wash button once to delay 1 hour. Ifyou want a longer delay period, press

and hold the button until your desired delay time (in hours) shows in the Estimated Time Remaining display, up

to 9H. Then press START/Pause/Unlock to set the delay. The countdown to the wash cycle will show inthe

display window. ECOBOOST

The EcoBoost option allows you to increase your energy savings on your wash cycles. When this option is used,

the wash cycle will use slightly cooler wash water than the selected temperature. The indicated temperature will

not change. PRESOAK

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. EXTRA RINSE

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

FABRIC 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.

O EST TiME REMAiNiNG DISPLAY

The Estimated Time Remaining display shows the time required for the cycle to complete. Factors such as load size

and water pressure may affect the time shown in the display. Overloading, unbalanced loads, or excessive suds may

cause the washer to adjust the cycle time, as well.

SOAK Sensing Soak Wash Rinse Spin Done

This portion of the cycle allows water to soak into the load for optimal cleaning.

WASH = =, o You will hear the motor and washplate moving the load.

Unlike traditional washers, the load is not covered with water. Low-water cleaning means concentrated cleaning. Rather than

diluting detergent as done in an agitator-style washer, this washer delivers the detergent directly to the soils. The motor sounds

may change at different stages in the cycle. The wash time is determined by the selected soil level.

CYCLE STATUS LIGHTS

Sensing Soak Wash Rinse Spin Done

The Cycle Status Lights shows 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.

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, the 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. You may also hear water flowing through the dispenser, adding

detergent to the load. NOTE: Avoid opening the lid during sensing. The

sensing process will start over when the washer is restarted.he sensing light may also come on during

the Soak and Wash portions of the cycle. This is normal.

Sensing Soak Wash Rinse Spin Done

RINSE

Sensing Soak Wash Rinse Spin Done

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. Fabric softener will be added if the Fabric Softener option was selected. Some

cycles use spray rinsing.

casual business clothes, permanent press, and blends.

Use this cycle for normally soiled cottons and mixed fabric loads. This

cycle features a spray rinse. Low speed spin is not available.

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, and uses a higher water level than other cycles. Do not overload basket.

Deep Clean and Extra Rinse are default options, but may be turned off. For maximum soil removal use liquid

chlorine bleach.

Use this cycle to soak smail spots of set-in stains on fabrics. After time has expired, washer will drain, but will not spin. To set

a follow up cycle, select Drain & Spin, add

additional detergent and select a cycle

based on fabric type. Combines a rinse and spin for loads

requiring an additional rinse cycle or to

complete a load after power interruption.

Spin speed is selectable; default is high. This cycle uses a higher, preset water level. Also use for loads that require rinsing only.

This cycle uses a spin to shorten drying times for heavy fabrics or special-care

items washed by hand. Use this cycle to

drain washer after cancelling a cycle or

completing a cycle after a power failure.

Use once a month to keep the inside

of the washer fresh and clean. Higher water levels and Affresh work together to thoroughly clean the washer interior.

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

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.

• Empty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small object can pass under the washplate 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. 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.

Load garments in loose heaps evenly around basket wall. Do not wrap large items such as sheets around the washplate;

load them in loose piles around the sides of the basket. Try mixing different sized items to reduce tangling.

IMPORTANT: Items need to move freely for best cleaning and to reduce wrinkling and tangling.

Usiag Lauady Product Dispensers

Add HE detergent to dispenser

Detergent tray

Add a measured amount of HE detergent into detergent tray. This

tray holds 3 oz. (89 mL). Do not overfill tray - adding too much detergent may cause detergent to be dispensed into the washer too early.

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.

Follow the manufacturer's instructions to determine the amount of detergent to use.

Using Oxi or color=safe bleach: If using an Oxi or color-safe bleach laundry boost product, add

to the bottom of the washer basket before adding clothes. HELPFUL TIP: See "Washer Maintenance" for information

on recommended method of cleaning washer dispenser trays.

Fabric softener tray

Fabric Pour a measured amount of liquid Softener fabric softener into tray, always

follow manufacturer's directions for correct amount of fabric softener based on your load size. Close dispenser

drawer, then select Fabric Softener option. IMPORTANT: Fabric Softener option must be selected

to ensure proper distribution at correct time in cycle. Do not overfill or dilute. Overfilling dispenser will cause fabric softener to immediately dispense into washer.

If Extra Rinse option is selected, fabric softener will be dispensed into the last rinse.

It is normal for a small amount of water to remain in the dispenser at the end of a cycle.
