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. 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.
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.

START/PAUSE BUTTON
O
Press and hold to start a cycle, or press once while a cycle is in process to pause it.
DELAY START BUTTONS
@
Use these buttons to delay the start of the wash cycle by up to 16 hours on models with Steam, and 12 hours
on non-Steam models.
LED DISPLAY AND SETTINGS BUTTONS
O
When you select acycle, its default settings will light up and the Estimated Time Remaining will be displayed. Factors such as
load size, wash temperature, 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.
Use the buttons along the bottom of the display to adjust settings. See "Cycle Guide" for available settings on each cycle.
Not all settings are available with all cycles.
Cycle Status Lights The indicator bar at the top of the display will let you know
what stage of the wash cycle is in process, as well as when the door is locked or if you can still add an item. For more
information on each stage, see "Cycle Status Lights". Temperature
The recommended wash temperature is preset for each cycle. You may also select a wash temperature based on the type of fabric and soils being washed. Forbest results, use the warmest wash water safe for your fabric, following the garment label instructions.All wash temperatures feature a cold rinse, except Warm*, which has a warm wash and a
warm rinse. Spin Speed
This washer automatically selects the spin speed based on the cycle selected. Some preset speeds can be changed. O
Faster spin speeds mean shorter dry times, but may increase wrinkling in your load.
Slower spin speeds reduce wrinkling, but will leave
your load more damp.
Soil Level Soil level (wash time) is preset for each wash cycle. As you press the Soil Level button, the cycle time will increase or
decrease in the Estimated Time Remaining display. 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. For lightly soiled and delicate fabrics, press Soil Level to select less wash
time. Lower soil level settings will help reduce tangling and _,D wrinkling.
Cycle Signal Use this option to adjust volume of the signal that sounds at
end of cycle. NOTE: You may also turn off the tones that sound when a
button is pressed. Press and hold the EcoBoost button for about one second to turn button sounds on or off.
OPTION BUTTONS Use these buttons to activate additional wash options or

Clean Washer cycle.
Load Size Recommendations For best results, follow the load size recommendations noted for each cycle.
_ Small load: Fill the washer drum with 3-4 items, not more than 1/4 full.
_ Medium load: Fill the washer drum up to about 1/2 full.
Large load: Fill the washer drum up to about 3/4 full.
Extra-large load: Fill the washer drum, but make sure clothes can tumble freely. For best results, avoid packing tightly.
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. De 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.
Choosing 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 failure and, over time, build-up of 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.
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.
iMPORTANT."
[] Empty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small object
can plug pumps and may require a service call.
[] Close zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings and sashes, and
remove non-washable trim and ornaments.
[] Mend rips and tears to avoid further damage to items
during washing.
[] Turn knits inside out to prevent pilling. Separate lint-takers
from lint-givers. Synthetics, knits, and corduroy fabrics will pick up lint from towels, rugs, and chenille fabrics.
[] Do not dry garments if stains remain after washing, because
heat can set stains into fabric.
[] Always read and follow fabric care labels and laundry
product instructions, improper usage may cause damage to your garments.
First wash cycle without laundry
Before washing clothes for the first time, if not completed during the final installation step, choose the QUICK WASH cycle and
run it without clothes. Use only HE detergent. Use 1/2 the manufacturer's recommended amount for a medium-size load.
This initial cycle serves to ensure the interior is clean before washing clothes.
1, Sort and prepare your laundry
Sort items by recommended cycle, water temperature, and colorfastness. Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled. Separate delicate items from sturdy fabrics. Treat stains promptly and check for colorfastness by testing stain remover products on an inside seam.
8
:2, Load laundry into washer
Open the washer door. Place a load of sorted clothes loosely in the washer. Items need to move freely for best cleaning and to reduce wrinkling and tangling. Close the washer door by pushing
it firmly until the latch clicks.
[] Depending on load type and cycle, the washer can be fully
loaded, but not tightly packed. Washer door should close easily. See "Cycle Guide" for loading suggestions.
[] Mix large and small items and avoid washing single items.
Load evenly.
[] Wash small items in mesh garment bags. For multiple items,
use more than one bag and fill bags equally.

different from traditional washers.
Door Locked
Door Locked will light to indicate that the door is locked and cannot be opened without first pausing or canceling the cycle.
FanFresh TM
The FanFresh 'Mindicator will light when the FanFresh 'Moption is active. During this time, the washer will occasionally tumble

continue until the correct amount of water has been added for the load. You may also hear water flowing through the dispenser, adding detergent to the load.
The displayed time may change as the washer goes through the sensing process. This is normal.
Soak
This portion of the cycle allows gentle tumbling for water and detergent to soak into the load for optimal cleaning.
Wash
This is the main portion of the wash cycle. You will see the washer tumble the load. The motor sounds may change at
different stages in the cycle. The wash time is determined by the selected cycle and soil level along with your load size.
Rinse
You will hear sounds similar to the wash cycle as the washer rinses and moves the load. If used, liquid chlorine
bleach is added in the first rinse. Fabric Softener is added in the last rinse.
Spin
The washer spins the load at increasing speeds for proper water removal, based on the selected cycle
and spin speed.
Steam (on some models)
This will light to show that the cycle is using a Steam boost for added cleaning power.
