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 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
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 Cleaning
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.

O 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. Ifyou 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.

EXTRA RINSE This option can be used to automatically add a second
rinse to most cycles. DEEP CLEAN with HEATER
The Deep Clean with Heater option helps to ensure better soil and stain removal. Deep Clean uses a heater within
the washer to maintain the selected temperature setting throughout the wash period. This option will add some
additional time to the cycle based on which temperature is selected. It is a preset cycle setting on the Sanitary
cycle. Deep Clean with Heater may be selected as an option with other cycles.
DISPENSERS 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 SIGNAL 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. Press and hold the CYCLE SIGNAL button to illuminate the washer drum, making loading and unloading easier.
The light comes on when the lid is opened, and turns off automatically when the lid is closed or when you
press and hold the button again. If the lid is left open, the drum light will turn off on its own after a few minutes.
If you turn on the drum light while the lid is closed, it will not automatically time out. You must press and hold
the CYCLE SIGNAL button again to turn it off.
START/PAUSE BUTTON Press to start the selected cycle; press again to pause
a cycle.
CYCLE OPTIONS You may 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.
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.

O CYCLE MODiFiERS
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.
High Efficiency "HE" detergent dispenser
Add liquid or powdered HE detergent product to this
dispenser for your main wash cycle.
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. For cold water with no warm water added, select Eco Cold.
Use only High Efficiency (HE)detergent.
Liquid chlorine bleach / Timed Oxi dispenser Liquid chlorine bleach: 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 wash cycle. This dispenser cannot dilute
powdered bleach.
Oxi: This dispenser holds up to 3/4 cup (180 mL) ©xi
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.
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.
