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.

State of California Proposition 65 Warnings: WARNING: This product contains one or more chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer.

WARNING: This product contains one or more chemicals known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.

WHAT'S NEW UNDER THE LID?

Cleaaiag with Less Automatic Load Size Sensing

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.

Low-water washer

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

CONTROL P EL FEATURES

POWER T

Not all features and cycles are available on all models.

O POWER BUTTON

Press to turn the washer ON. Pressing once while the washer is on will cancel the current cycle, pressing twice

will turn the washer OFF.

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. If you have set a delay start to the cycle, the Estimated

Time Remaining display will show the delay time adjusted. When the cycle is complete, the DONE indicator will light

until the lid is opened. The Lid Lock indicator lights up when 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.

ECO MONITOR 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 You may 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.

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. EXTRA RINSE

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

FABRIC SOFTENER DISPENSER Press this button to set the Fabric Softener dispenser to

automatically add liquid fabric softener to the load at the correct time.

O CYCLE MODIFIERS

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 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 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.

High Efficiency "HE" detergent dispenser

Add liquid or powdered HE detergent to this dispenser for your main wash cycle.

Use only High Efficiency (HE) detergent.

Liquid chlorine bleach dispenser

This dispenser holds up to 3/4 cup (180 mL) liquid chlorine

bleach. The bleach will be automatically diluted and dispensed at the optimum time during the the wash cycle. This dispenser cannot dilute powdered bleach.

NOTE: Fill dispenser only with liquid chlorine bleach.

Liquid fabric softener dispenser Pour measured liquid fabric softener into the liquid fabric

softener dispenser, if desired. It will dispense automatically at the optimum time when the Fabric Softener option is selected.

• Use only liquid fabric softener in this dispenser.

CYCLE GUIDE

Settings and options shown in bold are default settings for that cycle.

For best fabric care, choose the cycle that best fits the load being washed. If using the Eco Monitor, adjust the temperature and spin speed within that cycle to improve energy usage. Not all cycles and options are available on all models.

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; heat can set stains into fabric.

• Treat stains promptly.

• Close zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings and sashes. 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 bags to help prevent 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 labels instructions to avoid damage to your garments.

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. Try mixing different sized garments to reduce tangling.

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

Not using HE detergent or using too much HE detergent.

Plug power cord into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not use an extension cord.

Ensure there is power to outlet. Reset a tripped circuit breaker. Replace any blown fuses.

NOTE: If problems continue, contact an electrician.

Lid must be closed for washer to run.

Washer will pause during certain phases of cycle.

Do not interrupt cycle.

Washer may be stopped to reduce suds. The washer senses the dry load with short spins that may take

2 to 3 minutes before water is added. You may hear the hum of the spins. This is normal.

Remove several items, rearrange load evenly around the washplate. Do not load garments directly over the center of the washplate. Close lid and press START/PAUSE.

Add only I or 2 additional garments after washer has started.

Do not add more water to the washer.

Only use HE detergent. Suds from regular detergents can slow or stop the washer. Always measure detergent and following detergent directions based on your load requirements.

To remove suds, cancel cycle. Select DRAIN & SPIN. Select your cycle. Press START/PAUSE. Do not add more detergent.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Incorrect or wrong wash or rinse

temperatures

Load not rinsed

Sand, pet hair, lint, etc. on load after washing

Load is tangling

Using cycles with a lower spin speed.

Washer may be tightly packed or

unbalanced.

Check plumbing for correct drain hose installation. Drain hose extends

into standpipe farther than 4.5" (114 am).

Not using HE detergent or using too much HE detergent.

Check for proper water supply.

Energy-saving controlled wash temperatures.

Check for proper water supply.

Not using HE detergent or using too much HE detergent.

Washer may be tightly packed.

Fabric softener option not selected.

Heavy sand, pet hair, lint, and detergent or bleach residues may require additional rinsing.

Washer not loaded as recommended.

Cycles with lower spin speeds remove less water than cycles with high spin speeds. Use the recommended cycle/speed spin

for your garment.

Tightly packed loads may not allow the washer to spin correctly, leaving the load wetter than normal. Evenly arrange the wet load for balanced spinning. Select DRAIN & SPIN to remove excess water. See "Using Your Washer" for loading recommendations.

Check drain hose for proper installation. Use drain hose

form and securely attach to drainpipe or tub. Do not tape

over drain opening. Lower drain hose if the end is higher than 96" (2.4 m) above the floor. Remove any clogs from drain hose.

Suds from regular detergent or using too much detergent can slow or stop draining or spinning. Use only HE detergent.

Always measure and follow detergent directions for your

load. To remove extra suds, Select RINSE & SPIN. Do not

add detergent.

Make sure hot and cold inlet hoses are not reversed. Both hoses must be attached to both washer and faucet, and

have both hot and cold water flowing to inlet valve. Check that inlet valve screens are not clogged.

Remove any kinks in hoses. Energy Star *_qualified washers use cooler wash and rinse

water temperatures than traditional topqoad washers. This includes cooler hot and warm washes.

Make sure hot and cold inlet hoses are not reversed. Both hoses must be attached and have water flowing to the

inlet valve. Both hot and cold water faucets must be on.

Inlet valve screens on washer maybe clogged. Remove any kinks in the inlet hose.

The suds from regular detergent can cause the washer to operate incorrectly.

Use only HE detergent. Be sure to measure correctly.

Always measure detergent and follow detergent directions

based on load size and soil level. The washer is less efficient at rinsing when load is tightly

packed. Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the washplate. Do

not load garments directly over the center of the washplate. Use cycle designed for the fabrics being washed.

Add only 1 or 2 additional garments after washer has started. When using fabric softener, be sure the Fabric Softener option

is selected. Add an Extra Rinse to the selected cycle.

Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the washplate. Do not load garments directly over the center of the washplate.

Reduce tangling by mixing types of load items. Use the

QUOI DE NEUF $0U$ LE COU ERCLE?

Laver avec moins d'eau

Laveuse traditionnelle

de type agitateur

La nouveaut6 la plus remarquable de cette nouvelle laveuse est son systeme de lavage a faible consommation d'eau avec plateau de lavage. La laveuse ajuste automatiquement le niveau d'eau en fonction de la taille de la charge - nul besoin

de s61ecteur de niveau d'eau.

Laveuse a faible

consommation d'eau

D6tection automatique de taille

de charge

Une fois que I'on d6marre le programme, le couvercle se verrouille et la laveuse entame un processus de d6tection pour

d6terminer le niveau d'eau appropri6 a la charge. Vous entendrez le moteur faire tourner le panier par de brefs

mouvements d'impulsion pour bien imbiber la charge. Cette m6thode de lavage avec faible consommation d'eau utilise moins

d'eau et d'6nergie qu'une laveuse traditionnelle de type agitateur.

Choix du d6tergent appropri6

Utiliser uniquement des d6tergents Haute efficacit6. Uemballage portera la mention "HE" ou "High Efficiency" (haute efficacit6). Un lavage avec faible consommation d'eau produit un exces de mousse avec un d6tergent non HE ordinaire. II est probable que I'utilisation d'un d6tergent ordinaire prolongera la dur6e des programmes et r6duira la performance de ringage. Ceci peut aussi entrainer des d6faillances des composants et une moisissure perceptible. Les d6tergents HE sont congus pour produire la quantit6 de mousse ad6quate pour le meilleur rendement. Suivre les recommandations du fabricant pour d6terminer la quantit6 de d6tergent a utiliser.

Charger les v_tements sans les tasser et de fa£;on uniforme le long du plateau de lavage. Ne pas placer les v@ements directement au centre du plateau de lavage - celui-ci doit

6tre visible.

A mesure que la laveuse imbibe et d6place la charge, les v_tements se tassent dans le panier. Ceci est normal et ne

signifie pas que I'on doive rajouter des v_tements. IMPORTANT : Le panier de la laveuse ne sera pas rempli d'eau,

comme avec votre pr6c6dente laveuse de type agitateur. II est normal qu'une partie de la charge d6passe du niveau d'eau.

Utiliser uniquement un dOtergent Haute efficacitO (HE).

Nettoyage eoneentr6

ke systeme de lavage a faible consommation d'eau signifie un lavage concentr6. Plut6t que de diluer du d6tergent comme dans une laveuse de type agitateur, cette laveuse libere le d6tergent directement sur les endroits souill6s.

Sons normaux pr6visibles

Au cours des diffOrents stades du programme de lavage, vous entendrez peut-_tre des bruits que votre laveuse pr6c6dente ne produisait pas. Par exemple, vous entendrez peut-6tre un cliquetis au d6but du programme Iorsque le systeme de verrouillage du couvercle effectue un test automatique. On

entendra diff@ents bourdonnements et bruits de frottements rythmiques a mesure que I'impulseur d6place la charge. Parfois,

il est possible que la laveuse soit completement silencieuse, Iorsqu'elle d6termine le niveau d'eau ad6quat ou qu'elle laisse tremper les v_tements.
