WASHERSAFETY

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:

m Read all instructions before using the washer. mDo 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.

m 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.

mUnder 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.

-, 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 it will 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" for grounding instructions.

GROUNDING iNSTRUCTiONS

For a grounded, cord-connected washer: This washer must be grounded. Unthe event of a

maffunction or breakdown, grounding wHUreduce the risk of eUectdcaU shock by providing a path of Ueast

resistance for eUectric current. This washer is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding

conductor and a grounding pUug. The pUug must be pUugged into an appropriate outUet that is properUy

installed and grounded in accordance with aH UocaU codes and ordinances.

WARNING: Umproper connection of the

equipment-grounding conductor can resuUt in a risk of eUectric shock. Check with a qualified eUectrician or

serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed

by a qualified electrician. For a permanently connected washer:

This washer must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment grounding

conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or

lead on the appliance.

There are 4 bolts in the rear panel of the washer that support the suspension system during transportation. These bolts also retain the power cord inside the washer until the bolts are removed.

Using a 13 mm wrench, loosen each of the bolts. Once the bolt is loose, move it to the center of the hole and

completely pull out the bolt, including the plastic spacer covering the bolt. The power cord will be attached to all

4 bolts inside the washer.

3. Once all 4 bolts are removed, pull the power cord through the opening of the rear panel and close the hole with the attached

cap.

4. Close the bolt holes with the 4 transport bolt hole plugs.

NOTE: If the washer is to be transported at a later date, call your local service center.

INSTALLATION

INSTRUCTIONS

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install

washer.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

IMPORTANT: Position the washer so that the rear of the unit is within approximately 3 ft (90 cm) of the final location.

Connect the inlet hoses to the water faucets Make sure the washer drum is empty.

1. Using pliers, check the tightness of the hose couplings already attached to the washer.

NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling can result.

2. Attach the hose with the red color indicator to the hot water faucet. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on the

washer.

3. Attach the hose with the blue color indicator to the cold water faucet. Screw on coupling by hand until it is seated on the

washer.

4. Using pliers, tighten the couplings with an additional two-thirds turn.

NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the coupling can result.

Turn on the water faucets and check for leaks. NOTE: Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the

risk of hose failure. Record hose installation or replacement dates on the hoses for future reference.

Periodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found.

Proper routing of the drain hose protects your floors from damage due to water leakage. Carefully read and follow these

instructions.

The drain hose is connected to your washer.

After the washer is level, use a 17 mm open-end wrench to turn the nuts on the feet tightly against the washer cabinet.

All 4 feet must be tightened. If the nuts are not tight against the washer cabinet, the washer may vibrate.

3. Slide the washer to its final location.

4. Confirm the levelness of the washer.

To prevent drain water from going back into the washer:

• Do not straighten the drain hose, and do not force excess drain hose into standpipe. Hose should be secure, but loose

enough to provide a gap for air.

• Do not lay excess hose on the bottom of the laundry tub.

Floor drain

You may need additional parts. (See Floor Drain under "Alternate Parts.")

Drape the power cord over the washer top. Secure the drain hose to the laundry tub leg or standpipe with

the beaded strap provided. (See illustrations 1 and 2.)

If the washer faucets and the drain standpipe are recessed (see illustration 3), put the hooked end of the drain hose in the standpipe. Tightly wrap the beaded strap around the water

inlet hoses and the drain hose.

Do not force excess drain hose into the standpipe.

Properly leveling your washer prevents excessive noise and vibration.

1. Check the levelness of the washer by placing a level on the top edge of the washer, first side to side, then front to back.

1. Check the electrical requirements. Be sure that you have the correct electrical supply and the recommended grounding method. (See "Electrical Requirements.")

2. Check to be sure all parts are now installed. If there is an extra part, go back through the steps to see which step was skipped.

3. Check to be sure you have all of your tools.

4. Dispose/recycle all packaging materials.

5. Check to be sure the water faucets are on.

6. Check for leaks around faucets and inlet hoses.

EJectricaJ 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. FaiJure to follow these instructions can result in

death, fire, or eJectrical shock.

7. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

8. Read "Washer Use."

9. Totest and to clean your washer, measure _/2the normal recommended amount of powdered or liquid High Efficiency (HE) detergent. Pour the detergent into the detergent dispenser. Select NORMAL, and then select HOLD TO START. Allow the washer to complete one whole cycle.

If the washer is against a wall, move the washer out slightly before tipping back. If the washer is not level, first prop the

front with a wood block (2" x 4") and adjust the feet as necessary; then prop the back and adjust feet as necessary.

FEATURESANDBENEFITS

Woolmark

The wool wash cycle of this machine has been approved by

Woolmark for the washing of machine washable Woolmark products provided that the products are washed according to the instructions on the garment label and those issued by the manufacturer of this washing machine, M0301.

Electronic Controls

Flexible electronic controls are easy to use whether you are a beginner or an expert.

Smart Dispensers

The Smart Dispensers make your washer truly automatic. This

washer provides a four-compartment dispenser which includes separate compartments for main wash detergent, fabric softener, bleach, and auto prewash or auto soak. The dispenser has large pour zones, is self-cleaning, and can be easily removed. Laundry products are diluted with fresh water and added to the load at the proper time in the wash cycle.

Auto Water Level This washer automatically adjusts water level for best cleaning

and rinsing performance. Two sensors determine load size, load composition, and suds level, then the sensors adjust the water level to the proper setting. This eliminates guesswork. The water level is just right for every wash load size.

Larger Load Size Since there is no agitator, you can wash larger, bulkier items like a

king-sized bedspread. You are also able to wash more clothes at one time, which means fewer loads.

Suspension System

To reduce washer "walk" and "off-balance" conditions, your new

washer combines:

• 2 Springs to isolate vibration

• 4 Shock absorbers at the washer base to minimize movement

Stainless Steel Drum

The Stainless Steel drum eliminates corrosion and enables higher

spin speeds for more water extraction, reducing drying time.

High-Efficiency Wash System

Your new front-loading, high-efficiency washer saves time with fewer, larger loads, and lowers your water and energy bills by helping conserve resources.

Spin Speeds This washer automatically selects the spin speed based on the

cycle selected. This factory setting can be changed, however. This washer offers up to five different spin speed choices.

Heating Element This washer has a heating element that automatically heats the

water to the best temperature on select cycles. This enables stepped cleaning, a process in which warm water is brought in and mixed with detergent first, then the water is heated. The warm water cleans stains such as blood and eggs, and the heated water removes oily stains such as perspiration and dirty mechanical oil. This heater is active in the Sanitary, Whitest Whites and Heavy Duty cycles, and in the Stain Treat option.

ACCUWASH TM Automatic Tremperature Control The ACCUWASH TM control electronically senses and maintains a

uniform water temperature. ACCUWASH control regulates incoming hot and cold water. ACCUWASH control is automatically turned On when a cycle is selected.

Add A Garment At the beginning of the Sanitary, Whitest Whites, Heavy Duty,

Normal and Quick Wash cycles, this washer allows an 8-minute period in which forgotten garments may be added to a load. The ADD A GARMENT status light will glow during this 8-minute period.

CATALYST _ Cleaning Action with Direct Injection This washer channels 100% of the water through the dispensers

to assure thorough rinse-out and mixture of all the additives before they touch any garments. The water is then sprayed from the top front onto the center of the load, providing even distribution and optimum cleaning performance. It is normal for small amounts of water to remain in the dispensers when the wash cycle is complete.

Efficient Detergent System This washer has a specially designed valve that closes during the

wash portion of the cycle so that 100% of the water and detergent mixture is used on the load. The Efficient Detergent System ensures that no water or detergent is wasted.

Dynamic Off-Balance Detection This washer uses two sensors to detect load size and the amount

of off-balance within the load. The suspension system and controls are specially designed to redistribute the load automatically.

Your new washer has a dispenser drawer with four separate compartments for your laundry products--two are for detergent, one is for liquid chlorine bleach, and one is for liquid fabric softener. Laundry products are diluted and dispensed automatically at the proper time during the wash cycle, making it unnecessary for you to return to the washer during the cycle to

add them. It is normal for small amounts of water to remain in the

dispensers when the wash cycle is complete. Do not put laundry additives directly into the wash tub. Always

use the proper dispensers when adding laundry products.

Choosing the Right Detergent For best washing performance, use a High Efficiency (HE), or

low-sudsing, detergent.

To fill dispenser compartments

1. Pull out the dispenser drawer.

2. Add the desired laundry product to the proper compartment.

3. Push in the dispenser drawer carefully and completely (to avoid spillage).

Each cycle has a preset Soil Level (cycle time), Water Temperature and Spin Speed, and may have preset options.

The preset settings provide the recommended fabric care for the selected cycle.

The preset settings can be changed anytime before HOLD TO START is pressed. Not all options and modifiers are available

with all cycles. (Tochange settings after the cycle has started, press PAUSE/CANCEL, then select the desired settings.

Press HOLD TO START to continue the cycle.)

Sanitary Use this cycle to clean heavily soiled, colorfast fabrics. This cycle combines a super hot water temperature and fast speed

tumbling to help ensure the removal of heavy soils and stains.

It is recommended that you set your hot water heater to 120°F (49°C) to ensure proper performance during this cycle. The

Sanitary cycle also helps eliminate 99.999% of 3 common infectious bacteria, even when no bleach is used. Extra high speed spin helps shorten drying time.

Whitest Whites This cycle is especially designed for cleaning loads of soiled

white fabrics with the addition of bleach. Hot washing

temperatures assure optimal bleach activity. An additional rinse

provides optimal rinse performance to avoid chlorine residues on

your laundry. This cycle combines fast-speed tumbling, longer

wash time, and extra high speed spin to shorten drying time.

Heavy Duty Use this cycle to wash loads of sturdy, colorfast fabrics and

heavily to normally soiled garments. This cycle combines fast-speed tumbling, longer wash time, and extra high speed spin to shorten drying times. If the water temperature is lower than

needed for this cycle, the heater will warm the water to the

optimum temperature.

NOTE: Use the Heavy Duty cycle for optimal removal of organic

soils such as blood.

Normal

Use this cycle to wash normally soiled cottons and linens. This

cycle combines medium-speed tumbling and high-speed spin.

Bulky Items

Use this cycle to wash large items such as blankets and comforters. This cycle starts with a soak to thoroughly saturate your large load. This is followed by medium wash action and low-speed spin only to maintain load balance.

Quick Wash

Use this cycle to wash small loads of lightly soiled garments that are needed in a hurry. This cycle combines fast-speed tumbling, a shortened wash time, and extra high speed spin to shorten drying time.

Delicate/Casual

Use this cycle to wash no-iron fabrics and garments labeled "Permanent Press" or "Wrinkle Free" or that indicate using a "Gentle" cycle on the care label. This cycle combines low-speed tumbling and low speed spin to reduce wrinkling.

Silk Use this cycle to clean washable silk garments. (Check label

instructions to make sure that garment is washable.) This cycle gently tumbles and drains without spinning to gently clean garments and minimize wrinkling. Because there is no spinning action, garments will contain a higher amount of water at the end of this cycle.

Wool Use this cycle to clean machine washable woolen garments.

(Check the care instructions to make sure that garment is washable.) This cycle features gentle tumbling and low-speed spin to provide optimum garment care.

Hand Washables

Use this cycle to clean hand washable and special-care garments. Similar to the way garments are hand washed in a sink, the wash action of this cycle combines periods of low- speed tumbling and soaking. Low-speed spin reduces wrinkling.

Soak

Use the Soak cycle to remove small spots of set-in stains on fabrics. This cycle provides a soak time with warm or cold water followed by drain. Extra water, a short tumbling phase for equal distribution of the laundry, and a soaking time without drum movement improve the removal of set-in stains. Drain without spin assures gentle treatment, even for delicate articles.

Rinse/Spin

Use this cycle to get a rinse and spin only. This cycle combines fast-speed tumbling and extra high speed spin. If desired, you can reduce the spin speed by selecting the speed you want from

the SPIN SPEED modifier. A Rinse/Spin cycle is useful for

• Loadsthat need rinsing only.

• Adding fabric softener to a load.

Drain/Spin

Use this cycle to drain your washer or to drain and spin your wash load. The spin speed is preset to extra high. If desired, you can reduce the spin speed by selecting the speed you want from

the SPIN SPEED modifier. NOTE: Loads of synthetics, delicate fabrics, handwashables, and

woolens should be drained with no spin or low spin speed to avoid fabric stress.

Preset cycle settings

Each cycle has a preset Soil Level (cycle time), Water Temperature, and Spin Speed. The preset settings provide the

recommended fabric care for the selected cycle. See chart.

Normal Washer Sounds As with any new product, you will hear sounds that you are not

accustomed to. You may hear various sounds when the door is

locked and unlocked, and during the washing, rinsing, and

spinning process. Between changes in wash actions, there will

be momentary pauses. You will hear water spraying and

splashing during the wash and rinse cycles. These new sounds

and pauses are part of normal washer operation.

You can customize your wash by adding "Options" to your cycle selections. You can add or change an option after starting a cycle anytime before the selected option begins. Not all options are available with all cycles.

Options

See the "Laundry Guide" for an overview of possible options for each Wash Cycle selection.

You can select more than one option for a cycle. Some options cannot be added to some cycles; for example,

Prewash cannot be added to the Quick Wash cycle. If an option is available with a selected cycle, the light for that

option will glow when selected. If an option is unavailable with a selected cycle, there will be a

short tone, and the light for that option will not glow when selected.

Delay Wash

Use this to begin the wash cycle later.

• Select Delay Wash until the desired time (in hours) shows in the Estimated Time Remaining display.

• Select START. The countdown to the wash cycle will show in the display window.

Prewash

Use this option for heavily soiled loads that need pretreatment. This option adds a 15-minute prewash and drain to the main

wash cycle.

NOTES:

• Add detergent to the Prewash and Main Wash compartments of the Dispenser Drawer.

• When using Prewash, do not use liquid detergent in the Main Wash compartment. Use powdered detergent for the main

wash cycle.

NOTE: The Prewash and Auto Soak options cannot be selected in the same cycle.
