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

the type of fabric and soils being washed. For best results,

follow the garment label instructions. All wash temperatures feature a cold rinse.

Spin This washer automatically selects the spin speed based on the cycle selected. Some preset speeds can be changed.

• 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

The Soil setting (wash time) is preset for each wash cycle.

For most loads, use this preset soil level. When you change

the soil setting, the cycle time will increase or decrease in the

Estimated Time Remaining display. For heavily soiled and sturdy fabrics, use the Soil setting to

select more wash time. For lightly soiled and delicate fabrics, use the Soil setting to select less wash time. Lower soil level settings will help reduce tangling and wrinkling.

O DISPENSER DRAWER

The dispenser drawer gives you the convenience of

automatically adding HE detergent, liquid chlorine bleach, and liquid fabric softener to the wash load at the proper time.

See "Using the Dispenser Drawer" for information on using the dispenser drawer.

_High Efficiency "HE" detergent compartment

This compartment holds liquid or powdered HE detergent

for your main wash cycle.

_ Liquid fabric softener compartment

Automatically dilutes and dispenses liquid fabric softener at

the optimum time inthe cycle.

[] Use only liquid fabric softener in this dispenser.

Liquid chlorine bleach compartment

Automatically dilutes and dispenses liquid chlorine bleach

at the optimum time during the first rinse after the wash cycle. This compartment cannot dilute powdered bleach.

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 non-HE detergent. Using non-HE detergent will likely result in longer cycle times and reduced rinsing performance. It may also result in component failure and, over time, buildup of mold or mildew. HE detergents are low-sudsing and quick-dispersing to produce the right amount of suds for the best performance. They hold soil in suspension so it is not re-deposited onto clean clothes. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to determine the amount of detergent to use.

Use only High Efficiency (HE)detergent.

Cycle Status Lights

Model WFW94HE shown

Delay Wash

If a Delay Wash is set, the Delay Wash indicator will light and the delay time will count down in the display.

Door Locked

Door Locked will light to indicate that the door is locked and cannot be opened without first pausing or canceling the cycle.

Sensing

When START is touched, the washer will first perform a self-test on the door lock mechanism and the sensing light will come on. You will hear a click, the drum will make a partial

turn, and the door will unlock briefly before locking again. Once the door has locked the second time, the washer will

begin tumbling and adding water. This sensing process will continue throughout the cycle. You may also hear water

flowing through the dispenser, adding detergent to the load. After the load size is sensed, the estimated time based on

load size will be displayed. The actual cycle time may be lengthened; however, the display will continue to show the

estimated time. The sensing light will blink once a second at various times

during the cycle, such as when the washer is reducing extra suds.

Add Garment

When "Add Garment" is lit, you may pause the washer, open the door, and add items.

Steaming

This will light to show that the cycle is using a steam boost for added cleaning power.

Done

Once the cycle is complete, this light will come on. Remove the load promptly for best results. The Done indicator is also

lit during Fan Dry or TumbleFresh 'M.

Fan Dry/TumbleFresh'"

The Fan Dry/TumbleFresh " indicator will light when the Fan Dry/TumbleFresh ,Moption is active. During this time, the washer will occasionally tumble the load. During Fan Dry only,

a fan also circulates fresh air through the washer.

Eco Monitor

The Eco Monitor allows you to see how the settings you select affect your energy savings. To use the Eco Monitor, choose

the best cycle, temperature, spin speed, soil level, and options for the fabrics being washed. The Eco Monitor will rate the

water and energy use of those selections, from Good to Best. You can then adjust the settings and options to decrease the

amount of energy used within that cycle.

USING THE DISPENSER DRAWER

1. Open the dispenser drawer.

2. Add laundry products as described in steps 4-6 in the "Using Your Washer" section.

3. Slowly close the dispenser drawer. Make sure it is completely closed.

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. 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.

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

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.

Add single-dose laundry packet, Oxi, color-safe bleach, or fabric softener

crystals (if desired)

Single-dose laundry packet, Oxi-type boosters, color-safe bleach, or fabric softener crystals can be added to the drum prior to adding laundry.

NOTE: Do not add clothes to washer drum prior to adding laundry products. Always follow manufacturer's instructions.

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.

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.

3. Load laundry into washer

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.

USING LAUNDRY PRODUCT DISPENSERS

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 or hot water washes 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 door slightly ajar between uses to help dry out the washer and prevent the buildup of odor-causing residue.

Cleaning Your Front 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 Door Seal

1. Open the washer door and remove any clothing or items from the washer.

2. Inspect the colored seal between the door opening and the drum for stained areas or soil buildup. Pull back the

seal to inspect all areas under the seal and to check for foreign objects.

3. If stained areas or soil buildup are found, wipe down these areas of the seal using either of the following

two procedures: a. affresh ®Grit Grabber TM Cloth Procedure:

i. When the cycle is complete, gently pull back the

rubber door seal and clean the entire surface with the rough side of the Grit Grabber TM cloth.

b. Dilute Liquid Chlorine Bleach Procedure:

i. Mix a dilute bleach solution, using 3/4 cup (177 mL)

of liquid chlorine bleach and 1 gallon (3.8 L) of warm tap water.

ii. Wipe the seal area with the dilute solution, using

a damp cloth.

iii. Let stand 5 minutes. iv. Wipe down area thoroughly with a dry cloth and let

washer interior air dry with door open.

IMPORTANT:

[] Wear rubber gloves when cleaning with bleach. [] Refer to the bleach manufacturer's instructions

WASHER MAINTENANCE

WASHER CARE (cont.)

Cancellation of Clean Washer Cycle Operation: if the Clean Washer cycle is canceled by the user after it has

been initiated, it may take up to 30 minutes for the washer to purge any affresh®Cleaner, chlorine bleach, or other chemistry from the wash system and to adequately rinse any remaining chemistry. The washer door will remain locked until the cancellation process has been completed. This ensures no cleaning chemistry will be carried over to the next wash cycle and reduces the potential for damage to subsequent loads of laundry or to the washer itself.

Clean Washer Cycle Cancellation Procedure:

1. Touch POWER on the washer once.

2. The washer will begin to drain and rinse away the remaining cleaning chemistry.

3. The cycle will complete the cancellation process in approximately 30 minutes or less.

4. The washer then can be used to either repeat the Clean Washer cycle or to wash laundry using one of the regular wash cycles selected by the user.

Cleaning the Dispensers After a period of using your washer, you may find some

residue buildup in the washer's dispensers. To remove residue from the dispensers, remove the drawer and wipe the surfaces with a damp cloth and towel dry either before or after you run the Clean Washer cycle. Use an all-purpose

surface cleaner, if needed. IMPORTANT: Dispenser is not dishwasher safe.

Cleaning the Outside of the Washer Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe up any spills.

Occasionally wipe the outside of your washer to help keep it looking new. Use mild soap and water.

IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging the washer's finish, do not use abrasive products.
