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 _ter
oo o_
Traditional agitator-style
washer
The most striking difference in your 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.
Washer with low-water
washplate wash system
/ \
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.
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. This low-water wash method uses
less water and energy compared to a traditional agitator-style washer.
Use only High Efficiency (HE) detergent.
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.
NormM 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.

POWER
Not all features and cycles are available on all models.
POWER BUTTON
O
Press to turn the washer ON. Pressing once while the washer is on will cancel the current cycle, pressing twice will turn the washer OFR
WASH CYCLE KNOB Turn the Wash Cycle knob to select a cycle for your laundry
load. See "Cycle Guide" for detailed descriptions of cycles.
TIME/STATUS 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.
The Delay Wash indicator will light if you have set a delay start to the cycle.
The Add a Garment indicator will let you know when it is still possible to add items to the load.
When the cycle is complete, the DONE indicator will light until the lid is opened.
ECO MONITOR
O
Your washer is specially designed to conserve energy and water. Each cycle, along with any selected options, will result in different energy and water usage. To use the Eco
Monitor, choose the best cycle for the load being washed, then adjust temperature and spin speed options to improve
the energy usage within that cycle. START/PAUSE BUTTON
Press to start the selected cycle; press again to pause a cycle.
CYCLE SIGNAL BUTTON Use this option to adjust volume of the signal that sounds at
end of cycle. A louder signal is helpful in removing items as soon as cycle is complete.

CYCLE OPTIONS Whenyou select a cycle, its default settings will light up.
SOIL LEVEL Soil level (wash time) is preset for each wash cycle.
As you press the Soil Level pad, the cycle time (minutes) will increase or decrease inthe 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. A 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 in your load.
Slower spin speeds mean less wrinkling, but will leave
your load more damp.
WASH/RINSE 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 may be cooler than what your previous washer provided.
Even for cold wash settings, some warm water may be added to the washer to maintain a minimum
temperature.

You may also add or remove options for each cycle. Note that not all options can be used with all cycles,
and some are preset to work with certain cycles.
DEEP CLEAN This option provides enhanced cleaning action for tough
stains. It will add additional time to the cycle. Deep Clean should be started on a dry load only and must be selected
before the washer has started to fill. EXTRA RINSE
This option can be used to automatically add a second rinse to most cycles.
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 cooler wash water than the
selected cycle and may increase the spin speed for faster drying.
