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 injury to 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. Ifthe 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 intothe 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 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. 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.
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.
Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the washplate.
Do not load garments directly over the center of the washplate;
when loaded, the center of the washplate should be visible.
Low-water 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.
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.
As the washer dampens and moves the load, the level of the
garments will settle in the basket. This is normal, and does not
indicate that more garments should be added.
IMPORTANT: You will not see a washer basket full of water
as with your past agitator-style washer. It is normal for some of
the load to be above the water line.
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.

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 and hold 3 seconds 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.
LiD LOCK iNDiCATOR
@
This light indicates that the lid is locked and cannot be
opened. If you need to open the lid, press START/PAUSE.
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 again to restart the cycle.
DISPENSER SELECTOR
Press this button to set the dispensers for Oxi, Fabric
Softener, or both so that the selected laundry product
is added to the load at the correct time.
CYCLE SETTINGS AND OPTIONS
O
When you 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 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. 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. For cold water with no warm water
added, select tap cold.
4
You may also add or remove options for each cycle.
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.
High Efficiency "HE" detergent dispenser
Add liquid or powdered HE detergent product to this
dispenser for your main wash cycle.
_) LED BASKET LIGHT (on some models}
A basket light illuminates the basket making loading and
unloading easier. The light comes on when the lid is opened,
and turns off automatically about 30 seconds after the lid is
closed. If the lid is left open, the basket light will turn off on
its own after a few minutes.
Use only High Efficiency (HE)detergent.

booster or other laundry booster, such as powdered
or liquid color-safe bleach. Laundry boosters are
automatically dispensed at the proper time during the
wash cycle. Be sure to select Timed Oxi from the options
to assure proper dispensing.
NOTE: Fill dispenser with only bleach OR oxi. Do not mix
products.
