WHAT’S NEW UNDER THE LID?
Cleaning with Less Water
Washplate
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.
When loading the washer with dirty laundry, ll it evenly
around the basket wall.
Washer with low-water
washplate wash system
Automatic Load Size Sensing
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. This may take several minutes before water is
added. You will nd a step-by-step description in the “Cycle
Status Lights” section.
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.
As the washer dampens and moves the load, the level of the
clothes will settle in the basket. This is normal, and does not
indicate that more clothes should be added.
IMPORTANT: You will not see a washer basket full of water
as with your past agitator-style washer.
Choosing the Right Detergent
Use only High Efciency detergents. The package will be
marked “HE” or “High Efciency.” 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.
Use only High Efciency (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.

CYCLE SETTINGS AND OPTIONS
9
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.
WASH/RINSE 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 tap cold.

wash action to reduce tangling.
This cycle defaults to a warm wash
and medium spin speed. Hotter
temperatures help remove soils and
odors; faster spin speeds will reduce
drying times.
Use this cycle for lightly soiled ofce
wear. The cycle uses a warm wash,
a cooldown, and medium spin speeds
for better wrinkle performance.
Use this cycle to clean normally soiled
cottons, linens, and mixed fabric loads.
Default settings can be adjusted as
needed.
Cold water temperatures are used
to maintain dark dyes. Normal wash
action and medium wash time is preset.

USING YOUR WASHER
1. Sort and prepare your laundry
• Empty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small object
can pass under the impeller 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.
2. Load laundry into washer
Load garments in loose heaps evenly
around basket wall. Try mixing different
sized items to reduce tangling.
IMPORTANT: Items need to move
freely for best cleaning and to reduce
wrinkling and tangling.
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 avoid 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.

Using Laundry Product Dispensers
3. Add HE detergent to dispenser
Detergent dispenser
Add a measured amount of HE
detergent into detergent dispenser.
IMPORTANT: Use only High Efciency detergents. The package
will be marked “HE” or “High Efciency.” 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.
HELPFUL TIP: See “Washer Maintenance” for information on
recommended method of cleaning washer dispensers.
5. Add fabric softener to dispenser
Fabric softener dispenser
Pour a measured amount of liquid
fabric softener into dispenser; always
follow manufacturer’s directions for correct amount of
fabric softener based on your load size. Then select
Fabric Softener option.
IMPORTANT: Fabric Softener option must be selected
to ensure proper distribution at correct time in cycle.
Do not overll or dilute. Overlling dispenser will cause
fabric softener to immediately dispense into washer.
If Extra Rinse option is selected, fabric softener will be
dispensed in the last rinse.
NOTE: Do not use liquid fabric softener dispenser balls
in this washer. They will not dispense correctly.
4. Add liquid chlorine bleach or Oxi
product to dispenser
Liquid chlorine bleach/
Oxi dispenser
Add liquid chlorine bleach or Oxi
