WHAT’S NEW UNDER THE LID?
Your new washer will operate differently than your past agitator-style washer.
Lid Lock
To allow for higher spin speeds, the lid will lock and the
Lid Lock light will turn on. When this light is lit, the lid is
locked and cannot be opened. When this light is blinking,
the washer is paused. When this light is off, the lid can be
opened. After a cycle is started, the washer will ll to the
appropriate water level. When the washer is done lling,
it will start to agitate. If you need to open the lid to add a
garment after this point, the lid will remain unlocked during
the entire agitation portion of the wash phase. The cycle
will automatically pause when the lid is opened, and the
cycle will resume once the lid is closed and you press the
Start/Pause button. The lid will lock before the spin phase
begins. If you need to pause or stop after this point, you
must press the START/PAUSE button and wait for the lid
to unlock. The lid will only unlock after washer movement
has stopped. Depending on when in the cycle you try to
pause, it may take several seconds to several minutes for
the lid to unlock (for example, 1 minute if the cycle is in the
spin phase). Press the START/PAUSE button to resume the
cycle.
Sounds
At different stages of the wash cycle, you may hear sounds
and pauses that are different from those of your previous
washer. For example, you may hear a clicking and hum at
the beginning of the spin phase as the lid lock goes through
a self-test. There will be different kinds of humming and
whirring sounds as the washplate tests for load balance or
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.
Choosing the Right Detergent
Use only High Efciency detergents. The package will be
marked “HE” or “High Efciency.” Using non-HE detergent
will likely result in longer cycle times and reduced rinsing
performance. It may also result in component malfunction
and, over time, buildup of mold or mildew. HE detergents
should be low-sudsing and quick-dispersing to produce
the right amount of suds for the best performance. They
should hold soil in suspension so it is not redeposited
onto clean clothes. Not all detergents labeled as High
Efciency are identical in formulation and their ability to
reduce suds. For example, natural, organic, or homemade
HE detergents may generate a high level of suds. Always
follow the detergent manufacturer’s instructions to
determine the amount of detergent to use.
Use only High Efciency (HE) detergent.
IMPORTANT: The lid must be closed before the washer basket lls with water and for the wash cycle to start. If the lid is open and
lling stops, close the lid and press the START/PAUSE button to complete the cycle.

CHECK YOUR VENT SYSTEM FOR GOOD AIRFLOW
Maintain good airow:
n
Clean your lint screen before each load.
n
Replace plastic or foil vent material with 4" (102 mm)
diameter heavy, rigid vent material.
n
Use the shortest length of vent possible.
n
Use no more than four 90° elbows in a vent system;
each bend and curve reduces airow.
Good Better
Good airow
Along with heat, dryers require good airow to efciently
dry laundry. Proper venting will reduce your drying times and
improve your energy savings. See Installation Instructions.
The venting system attached to the dryer plays a big role
in good airow.
Service calls caused by improper venting are not covered
by the warranty and will be paid by the customer, regardless
of who installed the dryer.
n
Remove lint and debris from the exhaust hood.
n Remove lint from the entire length of the vent system at
least every 2 years. When cleaning is complete, be sure
to follow the Installation Instructions supplied with your
dryer for nal product check.
n Clear away items from the front of the dryer.
4"
(102 mm)
Use Automatic cycles for better fabric care and energy savings
Use the Automatic Dry cycles to provide the most energy savings and enhanced fabric care from the dryer. During Automatic Dry
cycles, drying air temperature or moisture level are sensed in the load. This sensing occurs throughout the drying cycle, and the
dryer shuts off when the load reaches the selected dryness.
With Timed Drying, the dryer runs the amount of time set and sometimes results in shrinkage, wrinkling, and static due to
overdrying. Use Timed Drying for the occasional damp load that needs a little more drying time.

USING YOUR WASHER
1.Sort and prepare your laundry
n Empty pockets. Loose change, buttons, or any small object
can pass under the agitator and become trapped, causing
unexpected sounds.
n Sort items by recommended cycle, water temperature,
and colorfastness.
n Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled.
n Separate delicate items from sturdy fabrics.
n Do not dry garments if stains remain after washing, because
heat can set stains into fabric.
n Treat stains promptly.
n Close zippers, fasten hooks, tie strings and sashes, and
remove non-washable trim and ornaments.
n Mend rips and tears to avoid further damage to items
during washing.
Helpful Tips:
n When washing waterproof or water-resistant items, load evenly.
n Use mesh garment bags to help avoid tangling when washing
delicate or small items.
n 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 label instructions to
avoid damage to your garments.

2.Add laundry products
IMPORTANT: Add a measured amount of detergent
or single-dose laundry packet into the basket.
If you are using color-safe bleach, Oxi-type boosters, or fabric
softener crystals, add to the wash basket prior to adding laundry.
NOTE: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to determine
the amount of laundry products to use. Manufacturer suggests
using HE detergent.
3.Load laundry into washer
Max
load
For best performance, load
items in loose heaps evenly

WASHER CARE
Recommendations to Help Keep Your Washer Clean
and Performing at Its Best
1. Always use High Efciency Detergents and follow the
detergent manufacturer’s instructions regarding the amount
of 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

will not stain future loads of clothes. Dry these items inside
out to avoid drum staining.
CLEANING THE WASHER/DRYER LOCATION
Keep washer/dryer area clear and free from items that would
block the airow for proper washer/dryer operation. This
includes clearing piles of laundry in front of the washer/dryer.
REMOVING ACCUMULATED LINT
From Inside the Dryer Cabinet
Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often,
depending on dryer usage. Cleaning should be done
by a qualied servicer.
From the Exhaust Vent
Lint should be removed every 2 years, or more often,
depending on dryer usage.
15
CLEANING THE LINT SCREEN
Every load cleaning
A screen blocked by lint can increase drying time.
The lint screen is located inside the dryer on the back wall.
To clean:
1. Pull out the lint screen and its cover. Separate the cover
and the screen by squeezing the screen and pulling on
the cover at the same time. Roll lint off the screen with
your ngers.
CHANGING THE DRUM LIGHT (on some models)
1. Unplug dryer or disconnect power.
2. Open the dryer door. Locate the light bulb cover on the
back wall of the dryer. Using a Phillips-head screwdriver,
remove the screw located in the lower right-hand corner
of the cover. Remove the cover.

is hard to remove.
2. Put the lint screen and its cover back together and push
rmly back into place.
IMPORTANT:
n
Do not run the dryer with the lint screen loose,
damaged, blocked, or missing. Doing so can cause
overheating and damage to both the dryer and fabrics.
n
If lint falls off the screen into the dryer during removal,
check the exhaust hood and remove the lint. See
“Venting Requirements” in the Installation Instructions.
As needed cleaning
Laundry detergent and fabric softener residue can build
up on the lint screen. This buildup can cause longer drying
times for your clothes, or cause the dryer to stop before
your load is completely dry. The screen is probably clogged
if lint falls off while the screen is in the dryer.
Clean the lint screen with a nylon brush every 6 months,
or more frequently, if it becomes clogged due to a residue
buildup.
To wash:
1. Roll lint off the screen with your ngers.
2. Wet both sides of lint screen with hot water.
3. Wet a nylon brush with hot water and liquid detergent.
Scrub lint screen with the brush to remove residue
buildup.
