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 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.
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 cHdren.
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" located in the installation
instructions for grounding instructions.

WHAT'S NEW UNDER THE LID?
Cleaning with Less Water
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
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 find 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.
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
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.
For best performance, it is recommended to load garments in
loose heaps evenly around the washplate.
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.
CONTROL PANEL AND FEATURES
ECO MONITOR
O
Your washer is specially designed to conserve energy
and water. Each cycle, along with any selected options,
will result in different energy usage. As you make your cycle
and temperature selections, the Eco Monitor shows how
well you are saving energy. Adjust the temperature and spin
speed within that cycle to improve energy usage. Using the
EcoBoost TM setting on a cycle can also be a one-touch way
to improve your Eco Monitor rating on many cycles.
O POWER
Press to turn the washer on and off, or to cancel a cycle.
WASH CYCLE KNOB
Use the Wash Cycle knob to select available cycles on your
washer. Turn the knob to select a cycle for your laundry load.
See "Cycle Guide" for detailed descriptions of cycles.
START/PAUSE/UNLOCK
Press to start the selected cycle; press again to pause the
cycle and unlock the lid. Press and hold 3 sec to cancel a
cycle.
NOTE: if the washer is spinning, it may take several minutes
to unlock the lid.
CYCLE SETTINGS
Whenyou select a cycle, its default settings will light up.
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.
* On some models and cycles, warm and hot water will
be cooler than what your previous washer provided.
* Even in a Cool water wash, some warm water may
be added to the washer to maintain a minimum
temperature.
SOIL LEVEL
Soil Level (wash time) is preset for each wash cycle.
As you press Soil Level, 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. Lower soil level
setting will help reduce tangling and wrinkling.
4
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.
O
EST TiME REMAiNiNG 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.
@
CYCLE OPTIONS
DEEP CLEAN
This option provides enhanced cleaning action for tough
stains. It will add additional agitation and soak time to
the cycle.
DELAY WASH
If you would like to set your washer to start at a preferred
time, select the Delay Wash option. You can use this
option to delay start of a wash cycle for up to 9 hours
(depending on model). Press Delay Wash button once
to delay 1 hour. If you want a longer delay period, press
and hold the button until your desired delay time (in hours)
shows in the Estimated Time Remaining display, up
to 9H. Then press START/Pause/Unlock to set the delay.
The countdown to the wash cycle will show in the
display window.
PRESOAK
Use this option to add an extra soak period to any cycle
when washing heavily soiled garments. You can adjust
the length of the soak period by changing the Soil Level.
EXTRA RINSE
This option can be used to automatically add a second
rinse to most cycles.
ECOBOOST TM
The EcoBoost TM option allows you to increase your energy
savings on your wash cycles. When this option is used,
the wash cycle will use slightly cooler wash water than
the selected temperature. The indicated temperature will
not change.

O CYCLESTATUSLIGHTS
The Cycle Status Lights show the progress of a cycle. At
each stage of the process, you may notice sounds or pauses
that are different from traditional washers.
SENSING sensingSoak Wash Rinse Spin Done
When the START/Pause/Unlock button is pressed,
the washer will first perform a self-test on the lid lock
mechanism. You will hear a click, the basket will make
a slight turn, and the lid will unlock briefly before
locking again.
Once the lid has locked the second time, the washer
will use short, slow spins to estimate the load size. These
sensing spins may take 2 to 3 minutes before water is added
to the load and you may hear the hum of these spins. If the
sensing light is on, the washer is working properly. You will
hear the motor turn the basket in short pulses to thoroughly
wet the load. The washer will then move the load briefly,
pause to allow water to soak in to the load, and resume
adding water. This process may repeat 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.
NOTE: Avoid opening the lid during sensing. The
sensing process will start over when the washer is
restarted. The sensing light may also come on during
the Soak and Wash portions of the cycle. This is normal.
WASH
You will hear the motor and washplate moving the load.
Unlike traditional washers, the load is not covered with water.
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. The motor
sounds may change at different stages in the cycle. The wash
time is determined by the selected soil level.
RINSE
You will hear sounds similar to the wash cycle as the washer
rinses and moves the load. You may hear the motor turning
on briefly (short hum) to move the basket while filling. Fabric
softener will be added if the Fabric Softener option was
selected. Some cycles use spray rinsing.
SPIN
The washer spins the load at increasing speeds for proper
water removal, based on the selected cycle and spin speed.
DONE
Once the cycle is complete, this light will come on. Remove
the load promptly for best results.
LID LOCK
To allow for proper load sensing and spinning,
the lid will lock and the Lid Lock light will turn
on. This light indicates that the lid is locked
and cannot be opened.
If you need to open the lid, press START/
Pause/Unlock. 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/Unlock
again to resume the cycle.

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.
Do 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.
1, Sort and prepare your laundry
* Empty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small
object can pass under the washplate and become
trapped, causing unexpected sounds.
. Sort garments by recommended cycle, water
temperature, and colorfastness.
. Separate heavily soiled garments from lightly soiled.
. Separate delicate garments from sturdy fabrics.
* Do not dry garments if stains remain after washing,
because heat can set stains into fabric.
. Treat stains promptly.
. Close zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings and sashes,
and remove non-washable trim and ornaments.
. Mend rips and tears to avoid further damage
to garments during washing.
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.
f2, Add laundry products
Single-dose laundry packet, color-safe bleach, Oxi-type
boosters, or fabric softener crystals can be added to the
basket prior to adding laundry.
NOTE: Do not add clothes to washer basket prior to adding
laundry products. Always follow manufacturer's instructions.
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 garment 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.
Always read and follow fabric care label instructions to avoid
damage to your garments.
8
For best performance, load garments
in loose heaps evenly around the
washplate.Try mixing different sized
garments to reduce tangling.
IMPORTANT: Garments need to move
freely for best cleaning and to reduce wrinkling and tangling.
Using Laundry Product Dispensers
NOTE: Do not add single-dose laundry packets, color-safe
bleach, Oxi-type boosters, or fabric softener crystals to
dispensers. They will not dispense correctly.
("4, Add HE detergent
Detergent tray
Add a measured amount of
HE detergent into detergent tray. This
tray holds 3 oz. (89 mL). Do not overfill tray - adding too
much detergent may cause detergent to be dispensed into
the washer too early.
IMPORTANT: 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.
HELPFUL TIP: See "Washer Maintenance" for information
on recommended method of cleaning washer dispenser trays.

WASHER MAINTENANCE
WATER iNLET HOSES
Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk of
hose failure. Periodically inspect and replace inlet hoses if
bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found.
When replacing your inlet hoses, mark the date of replacement
on the label with a permanent marker.
NOTE: This washer does not include inlet hoses. See
the "installation Instructions" for more information.
WASHER CARE
Recommendations to Help Keep Your Washer Clean
and Performing at its Best
1. Always use High Efficiency (HE) detergents and follow the
HE detergent manufacturer's instructions regarding the
amount of HE detergent to use. Never use more than the
recommended amount because that may increase the
rate at which detergent and soil residue accumulate inside
your washer, which in turn may result in undesirable odor.
2. Use warm and hot wash water settings sometimes (not
exclusively cold water washes), because they do a better
job of controlling the rate at which soils and detergent
accumulate.
3. Always leave the washer lid open between uses to help
dry out the washer and prevent the buildup of odor-
causing residue.
Cleaning Your Top Loading Washer
Read these instructions completely before beginning the
routine cleaning processes recommended below. This
Washer Maintenance Procedure should be performed,
at a minimum, once per month or every 30 wash cycles,
whichever occurs sooner, to control the rate at which soils
and detergent may otherwise accumulate in your washer.
Cleaning the inside of the Washer
To keep your washer odor-free, follow the usage instructions
provided above, and use this recommended monthly
cleaning procedure:
Clean Washer Cycle

residue buildup in the washer's dispensers. To remove
residue from the dispensers, wipe them with a damp cloth
and towel dry. Do not attempt to remove the dispensers or
trim for cleaning. The dispensers and trim are not removable.
If your model has a dispenser drawer, however, remove the
drawer and clean it before or after you run the Clean Washer
cycle. Use an all-purpose surface cleaner, if needed.

washer surfaces.
