ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
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.
A 120 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15- or 20­amp, fused electrical supply is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recom­mended. It is recommended that a sepa rate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.
This washer is equipped with a power sup-
• ply cord having a 3 prong grounding plug.
To minimize possible shock hazard, the
• cord must be plugged into a mating, 3 prong, grounding-type outlet, grounded in accordance with local codes and ordi­nances. If a mating outlet is not available, it is the personal responsibility and obli gation of the customer to have the prop erly grounded outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
For a grounded, cord-connected washer:
This washer must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electrical shock by providing a path of least resis­tance for electric current. This washer is equipped with a cord having an equip­ment-grounding conductor and a ground­ing plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician 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.
If codes permit and a separate ground wire
• is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the ground path is adequate.
Do not ground to a gas pipe.
Check with a qualified electrician if you are
• not sure the washer is properly grounded.
Do not have a fuse in the neutral or ground
• circuit.

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.
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.
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. To avoid suspension and structural damage, your machine must be properly set up for re­location by a certified technician.

PRODUCT OPERATION
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
The front-loading high efficiency washer was designed to conserve resources and lower your water and energy bills. The washer is designed to determine and then provide the amount of water needed for the best performance. The time of operation may be greater for this new system than for a conventional washer.
ELECTRONIC CONTROLS
Flexible electronic controls are easy to use whether you are a beginner or an expert.
AUTO WATER LEVEL
Adjusting to the size of the load, this feature allows the washer to use the minimal amount of water needed to clean and rinse the clothes. With a low water level, you can obtain the same results with smaller amounts of additives. Because only the required amount of water is used, the washer saves energy, too. You can obtain the same washing results for small and large loads size.
STAINLESS STEEL DRUM
The stainless steel drum eliminates corrosion and enables higher spin speeds for more water extraction, reducing drying time.
ADAPTIVE VARIABLE SPEED MOTOR
The motor adapts to the load size and to the cycle selected to give the optimum cleaning, rinsing, and spinning conditions. The motor can handle slow speeds needed for delicate items and is powerful enough to drive an average clothes load up to a high-speed spin.
SPIN SPEEDS
This washer automatically selects the spin speed based on the cycle selected. For some cycles, the default spin speed can be changed if desired. This washer offers up to three differ­ent spin speed choices.
ADD A GARMENT
LARGER LOAD SIZE
Since there is no agitator, you can wash larger, bulkier items such as an average size sleeping bag. You are also able to wash more clothes at one time, which means fewer loads. You can wash a pillow or a large stuffed teddy bear.
SUSPENSION SYSTEM
To reduce washer “walk” and “off-balance” conditions, your new washer combines:
2 Springs to isolate vibration
• 3 or 4 shock absorbers at the washer base
• to minimize movement
This option is available in all wash cycles except Rinse/Spin and Drain/Spin. When this option is available at the beginning of the cycle the Add A Garment status light will illuminate for the first 7 minutes. This washer allows a 7-minute period in which forgotten garments may be added to a load.
DYNAMIC BALANCE
A precision balancing system allows the washer to reach high-speed spins. The washer spins faster so that clothes coming out of the washer will have less moisture than with traditional top load machines. In addition, if the Dynamic Bal ance system detects off-balance loads during spinning, it redistributes the clothes so that they are evenly balanced.
-
3-1
SMART DISPENSERS
Use only HE High Efficiency detergent.
The three compartments in the dispenser allow loading of all laundry additives before the washer is started. The additives will be dispensed into the wash at the optimal time for high performance cleaning. The bleach release system is included in the detergent advantage system. The detergent is added at the beginning of the cycle, and the bleach is
added after the enzymes have had a chance to do their cleaning. The fabric softener is dispensed in the rinse cycle or in the EXTRA RINSE, if selected. The Detergent Advantage System Dispenser tray is easily removed for cleaning.

USING THE PROPER DETERGENT
Use only HE High Efficiency detergent.
Use only High Efficiency detergents. The pack­age for this type of detergent will be marked “HE” or “High Efficiency.” This wash system, along with less water, will create too much sudsing with a regular non-HE detergent. Us ing regular detergent will likely result in washer errors, longer cycle times, and reduced rinsing performance. It may also result in component failures and noticeable mold or mildew. HE de tergents 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 unloading garments, occasionally
• check under the rubber rim at the front of the tub for small items.
2. Close the washer door by pushing it firmly until the lock clicks. The washer door will
-
remain locked during the wash cycle.
NOTE: After any wash cycle is completed,
the door must be opened and then closed before a new cycle can begin. The door
-
can be opened only if PAUSE/CANCEL is selected while the ADD A GARMENT light is illuminated or if the cycle has been canceled. See “To cancel a cycle” in the “Changing Cycles and Options Section.”
3. Open the dispenser drawer and add laun­dry additives to the detergent, bleach, or fabric softener compartments. Close drawer slowly to avoid spills. See “Using the Dispenser.”
First Wash Cycle Without Laundry
Before washing clothes for the first time, if not completed during the final installation step, choose the Normal/Casual cycle and run it without clothes. Use only HE High Efficiency detergent. Use 1/2 the manufacturer’s recom mended amount for a medium-sized load. This initial cycle serves to ensure the interior is clean before washing clothes.
For All Wash Cycles
1. To load washer
Open the washer door by pulling on the
handle. Sort laundry according to color and type of fabric. Place a load of sorted clothes in the washer. Do not overload washer. Overloading can cause poor cleaning.
The washer can be fully loaded, but
• not tightly packed. Washer door should close easily.
